I've heard the "Voices of Genius" interviewed on a Chicago radio station. They are both based out of Chicago. The voiceover guy is Pete Stacker, who probably every person who has ever listened to a radio or TV commercial has probably heard at one time or another, and the "singer dude" is Dave Bickler, whom we have all heard, whether we care to admit it or not- he was the lead singer of Survivor for their first few albums- can anyone say "Eye of the Tiger"? ;-)

Man, it would be cool to get on that voiceover gravy train. Yeah, a bunch of know it all advertising wonks have you repeat a phrase a few hundred times, every so slightly different each time, but the money is insane.

Advertisers look for a specific voice and yeah if you got the right one... the money can be outta this world.
I always loved the movie announcer guy... "...in a world where light fades into darkness... going deeper than anyone ever-before... " he'd make a cool voice-over/narrator for a caving video wouldn't he? heh

The movie voice guy is Don LaFontaine, and Pete Stacker (Men of Genius) can do him dead-on!
While here in town, he did some promo's for one of the local radio stations.
Funny stuff, too!
