Five Voices You Know

Imagine a world where...A simple man...65 million years in the making...Featuring all your favorite Disney characters...Action, adventure, romance!

At our weekly Indian dinner, [livejournal.com profile] iisaw and I got to talking (amongst other things) about how small a world some areas of film making is. For instance, there are a few select editors who specialize in cutting trailers for feature films and some people can actually identify the editor by just seeing the trailer and recognizing their "style" of cutting.

That reminded me of something I'd seen a few years ago: a commercial for the Key Art Awards (for advertising) that featured five great movie trailer voice over artists. You may not know their faces, but you'll surely recognize them once they open their mouths! These guys at one time did nearly all the trailers you saw in the movie theaters!



You'll laugh...you'll cry...you'll kiss three bucks goodbye!
PS: totally work safe!

Damn, I know those voices!.... XD And I didn't have to pay $3, heh heh.... ^^

Otherwise noted: They are all men. Are there no iconic female voiceover artists? And if not, why not? (I do seem to vaguely recall some trailers & movies do have female narrators, but I can't remember any particulars....)
