I heard that a Melbourne based voice over guy died just the other week. I canāt recall the fellaās name but you have all heard his voice countless times. Someone will know his name.
Pete Smith?
Not Pete Smith. Another guy. Did heaps of radio ads.
Phillip Brady?
Donāt think it is him, either.
Youād know the voice for sure.
Bruce Mansfield?
John Deeks?
Can anyone do his voice?
John Paige?
Reg Barry?

Ennio Morricone is a dead set legend of the game and I am aware he is well known, but itās a crime he isnāt, by popular opinion, considered right up there with the Gods like Zimmer and Williams.
His soundtrack for once upon a time in America is quite possibly my favourite movie soundtrack of all time. It is as iconic and memorable as some other soundtracks? Probably not. But that soundtrack absolutely captures and enhances the themes of the movie to an extent that I donāt reckon any soundtrack has been able to since.
The above is just a personal favourite from that soundtrack.

When I went on Sale Of The Century, Pete was there doing the voice overs plus entertaining the audience during breaks, and he came across as a genuinely nice and funny bloke.
They had us film a station promo with Pete sneaking up behind us contestants with an inflatable baseball bat and, just as he was about to strike, the three of us pulled out our own bats from under the desk and belted the crap out of him. I donāt know if it ever made it to air.
