Tales of True Adventure for Rugged Men Not Unlike Yourself
I suppose a voice-over career could last several decades, but it’s impossible that one man could have made the billions of educational movies that have that identical voice. I assume they just favored a clear speaking voice with no regional accent, the old George Carlin “Hello, I’m from nowhere” bit. But the timbral consistency among what I assume is many narrators is pretty staggering.
