A friend of mine posted a link to this video on his Facebook page.  It’s one I hadn’t seen yet.

Not only do you get to hear the late Don LaFontaine’s voice, but also get a taste of his sense of humor.  I never had the chance to meet him, but from everything I’ve heard and read he was not only a great voice talent, but also a great guy.

Enjoy:

I’ll admit that one of my favorite websites it IMDb – the Internet Movie Database.  I would guess I visit the site at least a dozen times a week to check information on a movie or TV show.

All along, I’ve been assuming the site was the work of some company in Hollywood.  However, just today I’ve learned the site was originally designed and developed by a fellow in the UK.

What started out as a hobby, has grown into the 42nd most popular site on the Web.

You can read all about it in this article from the Daily Mail:

This time of year brings lots of predictions for the coming year.  Fellow Coloradan Ryan Healy has 5 Business Predictions for 2011.

Ryan’s prediction #4 is the one that interests me the most — an increased use of video in marketing.

As a voice over artist, I’ve been able to record narrations for a number of web videos this year.  In particular, I’ve been very fortunate to record many real estate tours for Coldwell Banker’s HighDefVideoTours by Rockin’ Media:

Ryan’s prediction makes me even more optimistic than I have been about 2011.
