Good article about the "voices" of the Disneyland Resort

[Darkbeer1]

A fun read from today's Orange County Register.

>>“Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...,” says the male announcer in a home recording booth.

In a twin booth just six feet away at the Highland home, a female voice says the same thing.

Both recordings will be heard at the Disneyland Resort – his at Disneyland and hers at Disney California Adventure.

They are Bill Rogers, 66, and Camille Dixon, 51, the official voices for each park, and they’re married – to each other.<<

Much more at the link.

What a fun article! I never knew anything about the official voices of the parks. Thank you for posting it!

And now I know I will start taking voice classes because that is now my goal.

Disney did one of their "every role is a starring role" youtube videos of them and it was really cute. I love that they are married!

I was working on a non-Disney project, when I heard the Voice, and knew I had heard many times before, but it did take a couple of minutes to put two plus two together.

But I have been lucky enough to know many Voice Over folks, the voices of Mickey and Minnie (and they were also married to each other), April Winchell was in one of my circle of friends group and went to many parties where we both were there.

Good folks.....
