jdcnow 14 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 John B Wells - I have NEVER heard him do a bad voiceover. Period. It's a shame WFAA dropped him. KOB/Alboquerque used him when they adopted the Evolution musical theme? ??? Scott Chapin - KDFW has used him for years. I like him. Vic Caroli - If he does this good a job: http://southernmedia-nmsa.com/audioplayer.php?version=opens&id=1070 Is there really anything more to say? Al Vanik - His best work, I think, was the WTVJ voiceover. Those are my picks, I'd like to know yours. Thanks ;D
FirstNews8 13 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Jeffery Laurence Don LaFontaine Al Vanik Ernie Anderson
A3N 1002 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Bill Ratner. Great voice Al Vanik. Truly one of the best. ;D can't forget Ed O'Brien
jdcnow 14 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Posted December 7, 2006 Don LaFontaine - One of the greatest voiceovers of all time when it comes to movies, good news v/o too. "From the heart of the Tri-State Area, street-level on 5th Avenue..." "From FOX 13, the most powerful name in Local News, this is NewsEdge at Eleven." Agreed.
milklikesubstance 11 Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Matt Bisbee - Great voice. I'm surprised more stations don't use him! I am also a firm believer that he picks up where Roger Thompson leaves off (Compare WISN Image news opens 2 and 3 @ NMSA and you'll hear what I mean). Al Vanik - See above posts. Chuck Conners - I was very saddened when WITI replaced him with Roberta Solomon.
OKCEyewitnessNews5 0 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Here are the best IMO: Ernie Anderson Chuck Conners Doc Morgan Bill Ratner Roberta Solomon Roger Thompson Bob Tracey Al Vanik John B Wells
FirstNews8 13 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I do have to say Chuck Conners is a good VO.
MikePulse 319 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 My best Ernie Anderson (God rest his soul) Vic Caroli Sean Caldwell Scott Chapin Chris Clausen Chuck Connors (Seriously, ever time I hear him, I think of Jerry Springer ) Jim Cutler Hal Douglas (Famous for KYW and the WB) Brian James Mike Lewis Nick Michaels (BTW, if anyone could upload a clip of him on WESH to SouthernMedia... ) Max McGill Ed O'Brien Doug Paul Mark Peeples Bill Ratner Paul Turner Bob Tracey Charlie Van Dyke (No one's mentioned him yet? Shame!) Al Vanik John Wells John Young More coming.....
Ntropolis 600 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 My faves... Charlie Van Dyke Al Vanik Paul Turner Bob Tracey John Young Whoever did KTRK when they used NS2000
MikePulse 319 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Ed Hopkins (okay - kinda lied about the comments thing, this is a great open http://tinyurl.com/yhcguc) Oh, yeah, that open should be Hopkins' best!
Chief-O 34 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Chris Clausen------Liked his WBAY VO's. The guy they have there now sounds a lot like him, but as far as I'm concerned, Chris is THE voice of WBAY. Doug Paul----I watched a lot of the Bozo Show[!] as a kid, and thus, always heard his WGN VO's. Great, distinct voice. Greg O'Neill----As far as I'm concerned, the definitive "Fox voice". Roger Thompson, Matt Bisbee----WISN has used the former for years, now they use the latter. The average listener couldn't tell the difference. Very distinct voices. Ernie Anderson----Ummmmmm.....need I explain? Fred Facey, Don Pardo----the golden greats among NBC staff announcers. Pardo needs no explanation, but as for Facey, I've always liked his [no longer used] "Today" VO's. Who does the voice over of FNC? ??? Wish I knew. I believe he also did WLUK's old VO's. And whoever that was, you can add him to the above list.
WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted January 3, 2007 Posted January 3, 2007 Who does the voice over of FNC? ??? Greg O' Neill, also the voice (or now, one of the voices) for stations like WVEC.

NashvilleTV5 0 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 John Young Brian James Eric Gordon (yeah--I know I'm probably going to get booed but I like him, he can do good work) David Kaye
WCAUTVNBC10 416 Posted January 10, 2007 Posted January 10, 2007 Brian James Eric Gordon (yeah--I know I'm probably going to get booed but I like him, he can do good work) They both belong on that other thread if you ask me. Now for best voices my picks are: Howard Parker Don Lafontane Bill Ratner Al Vanik Paul Turner Jim Cutler
hopdevil 1 Posted January 11, 2007 Posted January 11, 2007 They both belong on that other thread if you ask me. Now for best voices my picks are: Howard Parker Don Lafontane Bill Ratner Al Vanik Paul Turner Jim Cutler I agree with you except for Parker (good for trailers but don't care for his news stuff).
NashvilleTV5 0 Posted January 12, 2007 Posted January 12, 2007 John Young Brian James Eric Gordon (yeah--I know I'm probably going to get booed but I like him, he can do good work) David Kaye Let's see Eric actually DO some good work. At least someone agrees with me!! Thanks.
Guest jwp2008 Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 John Young Brian James Eric Gordon (yeah--I know I'm probably going to get booed but I like him, he can do good work) David Kaye Let's see Eric actually DO some good work. At least someone agrees with me!! Thanks. No...I think he means "Let's hear him actually do some good work" (Obviously he doesn't think Eric Gordon does good work, which no offense, but you seem to be the only one he does) This ain't good work. "This is NewsChannel 10. On Your Side at Sex." I could really go on and on about his bad work, but we'd all be dead by time I'd get done. Lol. Wow. Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but I'm another person who likes Eric Gordon's work. While I don't think he's the best voice-over, I don't consider his work unacceptable, regardless of what another may hear.
Chief-O 34 Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Add Bob Tracey to my list. His KTLA morning intro is one of the better news VO's I've ever heard.
