Ernie Anderson recording promos in ABC's post production 6. A little camera shy, but he manages to get the job done.

  • Wow, no headphones, slouching in a chair, and a pencil mic. I can't believe he is laying down his voice track right on the video with no cuts. All the new school folks with their fancy studios and editing equipment need to take heed...it's all about the voice!

  • @Crommy5  You got that right!

  • Who's The Boss - Ode To Angela

    The Wonder Years - Square Dance

    Rosanne - Let's Call It Quits

    Have Faith - The Window

    Thirtysomething - Courting Nancy

  • @mrgiosb123 Thank you! Great research (especially considering that "Have Faith" was only on for a short time)! It still amazes me how different things are today when it comes to producing network promos. Back then, there were only a few people producing these, now there are "banks" of edit bays cranking these out. You have to wonder, is it really better today? Ernie was such a great talent.

  • sounds you'll never hear again: capstan motors...

  • @Crommy5 And arrogance and a potty mouth.

  • Must be nice to be endowed with a deep voice, arrogance and a potty tongue. HA!

  • @Glinkaism1

    Yeah, well, back in the day, that was how things were done.

  • Look at the equipment. It's like a pawn shop

  • "Who the f**k wrote this?"

    "God this is Terrible!"

    "What A Piece of Shit."

    Imagine if they used that in the promos

  • What bullshit! Should have recorded his lines wild and on time. Then merely edited his VO. They are doing this the hard, old way.

    Or--since he DID have several lines right on time, just edit it the one or two lines.

    And not do the entire VO in realtime to picture. What a fucking retard way to work!

  • Sweet, and I remember the Pilot of the Powerpuff Girls where he was the announcer.

  • @TheShockMaster You are right. Anyone can read a script. Voice Actors use inflection and give life to the copy.

  • I wonder if there was ever a piece of commercial copy that Ernie liked? I think he considered copy writers clueless. Trying to jam sixty seconds worth of copy into a thirty script. Some things never change.
