Remembrances for Rich Bartholomew

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Over the holidays, we lost a member of the ProComm voice over family with the passing of Rich Bartholomew. Rich was a fine voice talent who could be heard regularly on the Biography Channel, but he was an even better person who will be missed by many. Services for Rich are being held in Los Angeles on February 3 and memorial donations can be made to one of two charities.


The Charleston Animal Society

The Arthritis Foundation

For those of you who knew and worked with Rich, please say a prayer for his family in this difficult time.

Free PSAs for Haiti Earthquake Relief

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

We’ve all been touched by the devastating news that continues to come from Haiti. Many lives were lost in the initial earthquake, but many more stand to be lost if the world doesn’t come to Haiti’s aid.

In an effort to speed the process of soliciting donations for this tragedy, a large group of ProComm’s voice talent roster has agreed to lend their voices free of charge for clients who are producing PSAs tied directly to Haitian relief. In addition, ProComm will also donate studio time. If you are a broadcast producer or agency currently working on such a project, or know of anyone who is, please contact ProComm at 866-438-6423 for voice overs.

If you’re interested in donating directly to the cause, several of our clients have relief projects already under way. Just follow the links below.
