My least favorite,( but I remember the spot), is the fellow on many Sirius/XM ones. "Are you an Inventor, or do you know an inventor?" I hate him but remember the company. And just so y'all know...I've never made a penny doing V.O, except what the Government paid me. One thing about VO’s that it is the irritating one that you remember.

I'd be just so appreciative if you could identify the talents for me. There are 2. I allude to the Home Depot national radio campaign. It uses two voices, seemingly in some kind of rotation. One is, IMO, far superior to the other. Meaning no offense to anyone, the second voice is not even of the caliber to represent such a client. The first voice has a subtle New Jersey flavor. This voice has also been a G.I. telling listeners how much letters from home are appreciated by an "old dog" like him. The second voice used in rotation by Home Depot is probably a very likeable individual. Someday, he may be a voice talent. He's either still learning ...or is being directed to place emphasis where it doesn't belong. It could well be poor direction rather than lack of talent. Irritating to listen to his spots. I haven't heard this male doing any other work. I'll appreciate any help you have to offer and, again, hope to have not offended anyone. Hello…There’s one national spot that’s driving me nuts.
