Posted by K.Karboso{Coach K.}

The “Voice” Dies at 68

The MOST recognizable man who voiced the THOUSANDS of movie trailers & HUNDREDS OF THOUSAND of TV commercials we hear on a daily basis has passed away today in L.A. Don Le Fontaine would make the wackest movies sound like they were that interesting to go see. Most definatly RIP fam.

Here’s an interview with the legendary voice of how it started & the old GEICO commercial he appeared in as himself.

I was going to mention this. I’m glad you did K.Karboso. He’s the movie voice guy. Yeah he made some cake.

He was definitely getting paid. Def made movies and ads more appealing with his voice.

I think the folks in the tribute are actual voiceover specialist but obviously not of the same caliber.

Great bio vid there. I love how he was banking on his voice even as a kid. That had to be awesome to fool the parental units.
