I went to the movies Sunday night.
I watched "Saw III", but that's not important.
Movie trailers....
With every movie trailer, you get a voice. Well, not so much a voice, more of a the voice. It's a guy, it's deep and it's mean and it's moody.
I can't think of any film trailer I've seen that's had a girls voice over it. Telling us that this is "the film of the year", or what happened to the kids hitch-hiking when they took a wrong turn, or how it became one man's mission to free his name after being turned on by his own Company.
Why is this such a male dominated area?
I wouldn't be offended to watch a movie trailer with a girl voice over on it. Who would? Would it make such a difference to the trailer, having a female voice giving us the low down that we wouldn't want to go see that film?
I find the whole subject of movie trailer voice overs quite fascinating at the moment. Mind you, I've had a smoke.

Way off topic, but I used to work with the woman who is the voice of the Clydesdale Bank and Post Office. Or at least in Scotland.

A good point indeed.
cat,
What a great claim to fame though. For her I mean, not you. Although you would probably raise an eyebrow or two with that story.
