Everybody Should Have an “Uncle Willie” (part one)

March 19, 2019 by Rowell Gormon

The Man of Multiple Names Could Hear My Multiple Voices To his wife Joyce, his co-workers and other friends he was “Bill”. His mom, my grandma, always referred to him as William Thomas (I always wondered who that “William Thomas” guy she kept talking about was). But to me and my younger brother Lee (pictured […]

Hitting the Voiceover Trail (you can’t get there the way I did)

March 14, 2019 by Rowell Gormon

It’s an honest question. I get it a lot. “How do I get into voiceovers?” Usually, the person wants a Secret Formula…wants to know how I did it…wants to know how to follow the same path I did. The thing of it is: you can’t follow that path. It simply doesn’t exist anymore. Broken Roads […]

In a spot recorded this summer and readied for air in the fall, the folks at Lawrence & Schiller continued their Telly […]

Animating a moving mouth over live-action animal footage is nothing new. There was a popular series of theatrical shorts in the 30s based on the concept. It’s still fun, though!
