This is NBC nightly news with Brian Williams....

NBC News has a new voice, which is being criticised as "lacking in gravitas". You can read the opinions of viewers here.

My friend and colleague Peter O'Connell doesn't like to complain without offering solutions. He suggests that other voice talent could do the job better than Michael Douglas, who made his NBC voice-over debut last week. Voice talent from around the globe have offered their takes over at Peter's blog. Check them out!

Here's mine.

Hi Mary,

What a pure voice you have! Very nicely done with natural grace and authority.

Happy New Year,

Stephanie

Stephanie, thank-you so much for your kind words!

Yet another one of Peter's grand ideas, wasn't it? What fun - the voicing, the listening & the voting.

Happy New Year to you as well.

Mary

As the great Billy West would say, screen actors are not voice actors, so why pay this guy tons of money when a highly versatile, multi-character person could do it (gladly) for much less? Mr. Douglas may be a decent enough actor, but his presence comes from the body language, not the voicebox. Yeesh!
