Voices in Movie/ TV trailers etc

[MackemX]

who on earth decided on the tone of voice they have used for however many years?

I can't really describe it but you know the one I mean as people normally make fun of it

movie trailers are notorious for them but I just flicked channels and 'Surface' was starting and the guy just sounded hilarious when he said ' and now Surface continues'

it's just silly

Its funny how they're now making fun of that. There's a toothpaste commercial with a guy staring at the bathroom mirror and speaking in that voice.

Like this?

or this?

[MackemX]

that's exactly it

it's the 1st guy in the 5 guys in a limo and the one in the studio is exactly the voice I mean

why do they speak that way and who decided they should?

Well its just like how they make trailers 100 frames a second and make it really tough to watch in a theater if you're sitting too close to the screen. You know what I mean - any action movies trailer has your head spinning if you sit in the first dozen rows or so. Of course when you watch what ever movie you're there to see you can handle being that close because there aren't a million camera moves every second or the soundtrack isn't jacked up through the roof.
