Don LaFontaine The Voice of God Is Dead

If you ever hear this ominous voice say "In another world" in a movie trailer you heard Don LaFontaine

"The Don" is a God to us in the v/o industry and will be sorely missed.

At least now when Armageddon comes, we know who will be doing the voice over.

Rest in Peace Mr. LaFontaine.

Aw. Damn.

I'm trying to get my little cousin into voiceovers. I think she'd be interested in that.

Frown. Big bummer.

I've been a huge fan of V/O artists since I was a kid and am currently looking into the business myself... Don's been a big inspiration and he will be missed.

Based on these pictures, I am giving you an 8.4 on the official Trout Recreant Scale of Slutiness. You are a slut, but only in the best possible way, and any man lucky enough to see that side of you should count his blessings.

Please forgive me for not getting the quote exact
I heard another voice over artist say in reference to Don.

He will be in heaven and hear someone trying to sound like him, He will see it's god.
