His voice was featured in more than 5,000 movie trailers and 350,000 commercials. If you went to a movie theatre in either USA or Canada, and watched the previews, I bet 90% of them featured La Fontaine's voice (if not more). They would all begin with either "In a world..." or "One man... one (something else)".He was also on one of my favourite shows, Family Guy, as the Fox Announcer.
One of my frustrated (or at least postponed) dreams was to have my own radio show, or at least do the work Don did. I will surely miss his fantastic voice.
Rest in Peace, Don. As a tribute, I will leave a clip by the Chilean-American comedian Pablo Francisco.
Su voz apareció en más de 5,000 promociones de películas y 350,000 comerciales. Si fueron a un cine en USA o Canadá y vieron las promociones de las películas por venir, seguro que el 90% de ellas tenía la voz de La Fontaine (o tal vez más). Todas empezaban con 'En un mundo..." o "Un hombre... un (algo más)".
También participaba de uno de mis shows favoritos, Family Guy, como el locutor de Fox. Como locutor frustrado que soy, voy a extrañar su fantástica voz.
Descanse en paz, Don. Aquí les dejo un homenaje por el cómico chileno-americano Pablo Francisco.
