Who Is Don LaFontaine?
If you’ve been to the movies on a Saturday night, you may have played ‘Count The Don’s’…a game some in the voiceover industry like to play. The object is to count how many movie trailers, prior to the feature, Don LaFontaine has voiced. We’ve heard of a record 8 out of 8. But, if you were home Saturday night (04/29/07), you may have caught his dulcet tones on an episode of Jeopardy, where he was the subject of a category called “Food A LaFontaine.” Not only did they tackle the category top to bottom…the contestants even tried to mimic the King Of Movie Trailers. We’ll take ‘Great Ideas’ for $1000, Alex. |

The Tonight Show with Don LaFontaine
Following this week’s (4/11/07) American Idol Results Show, the latest castoff, Haley Scarnato, was joined by her
(Geico) translator, Don LaFontaine, on the set of the TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno.
Much "patented" fun ensued. Don then took them to commercial. As it went to BLACK you could almost hear Don’s car door slamming closed as he was then whisked back to HIS home studio for more sessions. Sam Ruben’s KTLA Morning Show Crack Entertainment Department was also clever enough to air an
excerpt the following morning. |

Enjoy the off mic personalities of Joe Cipriano, George DelHoyo, Mark Elliot and Don LaFontaine as we see and hear what keeps them at the top of the LIST as Movie Trailer and Promo Voices. And YES, there is a LIST. |

Morning Don LaFontaine

memorable. We wonder if Don's agent, Tisherman • Gilbert • Motley • Drozdoski Talent Agency will send us a bill for airing all these DLF vids?

The
HitchHickers Guide To The Galaxy
Luci, of Dave & Dave, showed us the above
noted website answers the question
"What is a Movie Trailer?" Actor/Playwright Stephen Fry narrates the answer, but if you
listening carefully, about half way thru
you'll hear the unmistakeable voice of a
former VO Booth recordist/director at the old Tisherman Agency. Now he's a part of PrimetimeVoices.com and with DPN. With this agency Ashton Smith is on the other side of the mic. |
