Unfortunately Don recently passed away, and seeing that this site is all about making your voice deeper I figured that writing a little tribute post to Don would make sense… I mean when it comes to a deep voice, Don Lafontaine is the first man that comes to mind for most people-even if you only know him as “the movie voice over guy”.

I think It’s safe to say that Don has the most recognized voice in Hollywood, and even if you’ve never seen his face before, I can almost guarantee you that you have heard his rock solid voice on one of the thousands of movie trailers he’s narrated over the years.

Don Lafontaine was in high demand when it came to voice overs, and studio’s were willing to pay him big bucks for his work.  Don reportedly made millions of dollars a year from his voice overs.  During his peak it was not uncommon for Don to voice 35 promotions in a single day.

Here are a few of Don’s most memorable movie trailers voice overs:

• Terminator 2:  Judgement day
• Shrek
• Friday thte 13th

Don’s  voice sends shivers up your spine, regardless of whether he is narrating a children’s cartoon or a horror movie.  He can make it sound fluffy and comical to downright terrifying.
