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.

He takes direction very well and can change delivery according to your needs.

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.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Stanley Cup (and oh what fun you’ve been missing), here taken from NHL.com is a brief history of the NHL’s highest prize:

It all started on March 18, 1892, at a dinner of the Ottawa Amateur Athletic Association. Lord Kilcoursie, a player on the Ottawa Rebels hockey club from Government House, delivered the following message on behalf of Lord Stanley, the Earl of Preston and Governor General of Canada:

“I have for some time been thinking that it would be a good thing if there were a challenge cup which should be held from year to year by the champion hockey team in the Dominion (of Canada).

“There does not appear to be any such outward sign of a championship at present, and considering the general interest which matches now elicit, and the importance of having the game played fairly and under rules generally recognized, I am willing to give a cup which shall be held from year to year by the winning team.”

Shortly thereafter, Lord Stanley purchased a silver cup measuring 7 ½ inches high by 11 ½ inches across for the sum of 10 guineas (approximately $50); appointed two Ottawa gentlemen, Sheriff John Sweetland and Philip D. Ross, as trustees of that cup; and set the following preliminary conditions to govern the annual competition:

• – The winners to return the Cup in good order when required by the trustees in order that it may be handed over to any other team which may win it.
• – Each winning team to have the club name and year engraved on a silver ring fitted on the Cup.
• – The Cup to remain a challenge competition and not the property of any one team, even if won more than once.
• – The trustees to maintain absolute authority in all situations or disputes over the winner of the Cup.
• – A substitute trustee to be named in the event that one of the existing trustees drops out.

The first winner of the Stanley Cup was the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association (AAA) hockey club, champions of the Amateur Hockey Association of Canada for 1893. Ironically, Lord Stanley never witnessed a championship game nor attended a presentation of his trophy, having returned to his native England in the midst of the 1893 season. Nevertheless, the quest for his trophy has become one of the world’s most prestigious sporting competitions.

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!

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

GAME 2

Picking North Carolina: DAVE DEANDREA, GEORGE WASHINGTON III, PETER K. O’CONNELL, DUSTIN EBAUGH, JOHNNY GEORGE, BOB SOUER, DAN HURST, DAN FRIEDMAN, BRUCE MILES, ROWELL GORMAN

The post MVO: The Voice-Over Guys’ Johnny George Radio Interview appeared first on Male Voice-Over Talents - The Voiceover Guys!.

So after tirelessly editing, here’s this radio story from MVO: The Voice-Over Guys’ JOHNNY GEORGE.

I have mostly been behind the scenes in Production as Production Director, Imaging Director and Creative Services Director during my 42 year radio career. However, I was called to do the Morning Show to replace a strep throat infected, Tony Lamont, for 2 weeks on the main Urban station, WTLC, in Indy. Basically doing format liners, which included reading PSA’s.

I thought I had read through the copy before I was meant to do so, but obviously not. I came upon the world Apostolic while describing the name of a Black Church. I froze. I had never uttered that word before in my life and I sat there on the air trying to say it properly. But every word that came out of my nervous mouth made things worst. I said Apos-to-lithic, apos-tic-ly, uh, ummm, apostle-lickit. Everything but A-pos-tol-lic. I went on through and finished the 15 sec PSA which had now turned into about 30 secs. Felt like an eternity.

The Request Lines lit up like a Christmas tree. I answered the lines like a fool that I was. And one kind woman said, “You poor dear, it’s Apostolic. Are you ok??” Some of the other calls were like that. People obviously felt my pain. The one that didn’t was my PD, who called on the Hotline and asked me what the hell was going on? It was the longest 15 seconds of my life – and to this day, I can still feel that pain when I think about it.

At least I didn’t say Chit-ter-lings on the air as one announcer did, that I had to correct on a Kroger spot. It’s Chit-lins white boy!!! That echoed through the station that afternoon. Mercy.
