Lee - I swear you are so close to a Peter Falk impression!

LOL!

Well, only because this is so much in my 'sweet spot', a lead sent to me by an agency. Voice description: Trustworthy, Mature, Reassuring, Stable, Been there done that.

I trust you, man.

I don't mean to hog this section but I figured I'd post a couple more I did today. The first one called for a football coach and three vehicles trying out for the team: a sporty car, a burly pickup truck, and an intellectual minivan) and I threw in the announcer tag for good measure.

The other one called for a Billy Mays clone and since everybody knows how much I admire the ole Billy-goat, I just had to do it.

Scott -- Nice read.

Lee -- Very cool stuff. Looks like we are competing again.

Here is my take on the Stadium Toyota spot.

Seems as though Lee and I are on the same page on this one... at least a similar one.

I love it when they ask for all that and then want 45 seconds of material crammed into 30.....

Scott, you ain't kidding. That is right in your wheelhouse. Very nice.

Lee, Jon, and Michaels..I would have a tough time if I were deciding who to go with. All nice reads, and just different enough to inflect each of your personalities.

Here is one I did for Oregon Tourism. Too much copy, but I said screw it and did it the way I thought it should be done, right or wrong.

Thanks, Eric, I appreciate the kind words.

Ahhh, the Oregon lead. I got that too and submitted.
Did you get that thru v/oplanet? If so, have you EVER landed anything thru them? The only person I know personally who has is 'Ember.

Course she lands EVERYTHING!

Just catching up and listening to some of your work. Great job guys... especially Steve's Duralast audition. I don't know what the client thought, but I really think you nailed that one. Excellent read!

Had some fun with this yesterday....
