Who I listen to for inspiration
I am absolutely sure my wife has heard it a million times, "Damn, what I wouldn't give to tell a story like Tom Kane". I also watch and listen to every "Modern Marvels" episode I can get to. I am absolutely fascinated, my wife says obsessed, with his(I am not sure of the guys name. I keep missing the credits) ability to tell me a story, rather than read me a story. I really enjoy the way he brings them to life. Who are you listening to?

One of the people I like listening to and trying to emulate, is Bill Curtis from A&E. I like his pacing, his style delivery and his voice. Take special note as how he moves his hands. Not used as a prop, but a meter and guide. Very effective. I also like Bill Courage and an old radio friend of mine, Marc Chambers.

Admitting this may get me kicked off this site but here it is: Tommy Heinsohn. I had wanted to be a sportscaster growing up and this man's enthusiasm and fire is just legendary in my mind. Granted, I sound NOTHING like that (um, first of all I'm a girl) but I can listen to him all day and not get tired of that crazy voice and attitude and way he tells a story. He's not a vo guy but to have such a long-standing career just for being himself is pretty admirable.

Well, I finally remembered at the end of "Modern Marvels" to look at the credits. Max Raphael is the narrator, and in my opinion, remember it is an opinion, the best narrator I have heard. It drives me crazy because I would love to hear more of his work, but Googling him does no good. Anyone have any links to anything else besides Modern Marvels that he has done?

Jeez....where to start? Bill Hayes, John DeLancie, Eric Gordon, Joe Cipriano, Peter Thomas, Jim Conrad, Ched Miller, and of course Don LaFontaine.

Peter Thomas! Peter Thomas! Peter Thomas!
I was lucky enough to watch him work when I was first starting out in the business and he was a phenomenon to watch perform behind the mic. I heard that voice and it all "clicked" for me. What a great nice man too...a true gentleman and professional.
