RIP: Don LaFontaine (1940 - 2008)
There wouldn’t be a single Space Meat reader who doesn’t not know his voice, yet few may know his name. Don “The Movie Trailer Voice” LaFontaine passed away September 1st, due to a blood clot in his lungs. He’s narrated the trailers of some of the most brilliant and some of the most inane films, but there’s no one else like him in the business. If you want to learn more about the man behind the voice this video is a good place to start.
RIP Don. You can also check him out in a funny skit with two of my favourite voice comedians, Frank Caliendo and Pablo Francisco here. He worked with Frank quite a bit.
