Between pandemics, recessions, riots and elections…it’s hard to consider any other problems that may be impacting people. Or problems people have that are exacerbated by all of the awfulness 2020 has brought us.

But we cannot / must not forget those in need, the less fortunate or those that are dying or have died.

Since our founding, a variety of members from MVO: The Voiceover Guys have supported one charity event: MOVEMBER. We are doing it again in 2020.

The concept of #movember is men grow facial hair (whiskers, mustaches, beards, goatees) and solicit donations to support the Movember Foundation. From funds collected through donations, the Foundation funds research as well as educational and support programs for health issues impact men including:

• Suicide Prevention
• Mental Health
• Testicular Cancer
• Prostate Cancer

With all that’s been going on this year…mental health and suicide prevention are a big focus – but as we also know, cancer isn’t going anywhere either. Support and research programs require money…that’s where MVO: The Voiceover Guy comes in — to ask you to make whatever donation you can.

Our growers will have some fun not having to shave for the month of November “no-shave” November, as it were, but we also need your tax deductible donation.

Now a little bit about our male voiceover talents who are donating their “faces” for the cause:

DUSTIN EBAUGH

PETER K. O’CONNELL

IT WAS 1969 and I was in kindergarten.

Our saintly teacher, Sister Donna Marie, took our class on a trip to WEBR-AM in Buffalo, NY.

The minute I walked into that radio station control room…BOOM! 

Everything changed for me.  Everything.

I knew instantly my life would always include a microphone.

My Dad was State High School Oratory Champion and Mom had long wanted to work in broadcasting at a time when women didn’t do that so, while my 5-year-old self didn’t realize it, my broadcasting obsession was probably genetic. 

From securing my high school’s first-ever radio station internship to hosting Dayton, Ohio’s #1 rated Saturday night request show on a 50,000-watt radio station while only in college, I’ve been behind a microphone almost ever since.

Consistent requests from early radio advertisers for my commercial production and live announcing work confirmed for me (financially and spiritually) that I had a future in voiceover.

That broadcasting and voiceover work evolved into my current company, audio’connell Voiceover Talent. I voice commercials, narrations and broadcast promos f]or clients like IBM, Kraft Foods, Crest Toothpaste, PBS and Duracell Batteries.

In 2016, we O’Connells packed up our Conestoga wagon and ventured from our longtime home in Buffalo, NY to Raleigh, NC (near Research Triangle Park), where my Source-Connect equipped, professional recording studio serves media producers world-wide.

It is the judges opinion that FRIEDMAN may have started a few days earlier on his growth than GEORGE, EBAUGH and O’CONNELL but then again, no one is listening to the judges.

To date, the Foundation has raised $769M USD for men’s health programs supporting these critical areas: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

Thank you for your support.

JOHNNY GEORGE, DUSTIN EBAUGH, MIKE COOPER, BRAD VENABLE and PATRICK SWEENEY were part of a ton of voice talents who attended WoVOCon IV in Las Vegas.

It’s an annual voiceover event that includes an educational conference for voice actors and a meeting for the association’s members.

The association itself is a non-profit, member-driven international association of voice actors that seeks to educate members about the essentials of voice over performance skills, maintaining high industry standards, and operating a private studio.

Dustin is a past president of the association and some of our guys even presented at the meeting (cause they’re all smart and stuff).

We’ve been advised all our voice-over guys returned home safe and unharmed from Vegas and no other pictures of the weekend exist.

ABOUT MALE VOICE TALENT MIKE COOPER

Mike is a British voice over from London, who’s now based in the mountains of North Carolina. Mike emigrated from London to the USA in 2014 with his partner, two rescue dogs, and his natural, neutral, and famously friendly sound – which is fast becoming as popular in the States as it is in the UK.

The voice of numerous shows for A&E, HISTORY and National Geographic in the UK – as well as being heard globally for a decade on the BBC World Service – Mike has been called a “one-take wonder”, and loves bringing his wit and humour into the booth (when appropriate!) to play tongue-in-cheek, as well as straight/dramatic British. Producers who are taking the time to get to know Mike just seem to love him and keep coming back.

ABOUT MALE VOICE TALENT BRAD VENABLE

He was once described as “holding down the XY…both generations…and chromosomes.” Brad smiled at the appropriately geeky compliment.

Brad talks for a living. Incessantly.

You’ve probably heard Brad’s voice at least twice in your life and never even knew it, because Brad’s voice is heard on everything attached to a speaker. One day, you may be near Brad, and then you’ll hear him even without a speaker.

Somewhere in the world, he’s probably talking right now, and that’s oddly comforting. He could be talking somewhere, and yet could be sleeping at the same time. *mimes ‘mind blown’*

What Will Rogers said about liking the weather in Oklahoma could apply to someone who said they’ve never heard Brad’s voice: “Just wait.”

Computer tech, comic book collector, pop culture nerd, and avid gamer, Brad covers about every sub-culture cliché known to man, and can still sound like the don’t-dare-call-him-coolest hipster to ever wear clothes ironically. Now that’s irony for you.

Brad lives most of his life in a box, yet was not actually the inspiration for the Alice in Chains song. That was a point that needed clarifying.

Brad loves what he does, and does what he loves, with his beautiful wife Katie always by his side. Except when she’s at work. Then she’s not quite by his side.

ABOUT MALE VOICE TALENT PATRICK SWEENEY

Patrick Sweeney works as a full time voice actor based in Toronto, Canada and has over 13 years of experience working in the voiceover industry. He specializes in TV and Radio Commercials, Medical and Corporate Narration, Animation, Video Games, Documentaries and e-Learning.

But as she has done throughout her career, she takes action anyway…not only donating to MVO: The Voiceover Guys Movember fundraising campaign (YOU CAN DONATE HERE) but even drawing up some fun based on all her male voice-over friends who are participating in Movember.

The Voice-Over Guys have TOM TEST, DUSTIN EBAUGH and PETER K. O’CONNELL growing this November to raise money. But another voice talent, DAVE COURVOISIER, is also growing for Movember. We all (figuratively) piled into Kelley’s jeep to promote Movember.

Kelley has been promoting for sometime her passion for Jeeps and combining that with her desire to do voiceover work for Jeep into her campaign#KB4Jeep (Jeep is a sponsor of Movember).

We are all glad to have Kelley along for the Movember ride! Thank you for driving!

DUSTIN EBAUGH may live in Las Vegas (and may be interested in their new hockey team) but his heart will always be with his Kansas City Chiefs that he has supported since day 1 (or at least as long as we’ve known him.

JOHNNY GEORGE is another transplant to warmer climes having foresaken the cold winters of Indianapolis for the hot summers of Phoenix. But the Indianapolis Colts will always be his hometown team!

The post Dustin Ebaugh and Johnny George – Week 8 of MVO: The Voice-Over Guys’ Football Showdown appeared first on Male Voice-Over Talents - The Voiceover Guys!.

Given the collective college basketball intelligence of the 20 members of MVO: The Voice-Over Guys (we’ve seen a basketball and we’ve heard what college is like so isn’t that like we’re experts?) we have thrown in our “expert” opinions as to who should win each game.

Rather than risk picking 1 out of 64, we like the odds of pick 2 from 4. We feel we could look slightly less foolish (but only slightly).

Here are MVO: The Voice-Over Guys’ choices for winners for tonight’s basketball games. Good luck to all.

GAME 1

Picking Villanova: SCOTT BURNS, BOB SOUER, DAN FRIEDMAN, ROWELL GORMON

Picking Oklahoma: DAVE DEANDREA, GEORGE WASHINGTON III, PETER K. O’CONNELL, BRAD VENABLE, DUSTIN EBAUGH, JOHNNY GEORGE, DAN HURST, CHUCK DAVIS, CHRISTIAN ROSSELLI, BRUCE MILES
