My Introduction for ABC’s World News with Diane Sawyer

My friend Dave Courvoisier’s latest blog post reminded me of something I think many of us sometimes forget.  That is, it’s important to take what you’re doing at work and have some FUN with it.  I know that sometimes, with all the things going on, it’s easy to forget.  But for some reason, Dave’s post made me smile. . .and got me in front of a microphone for a non-podcast reason!

A little background: Dave is a big-time news anchor here in Las Vegas and a voice over actor.  In his role as a VO actor, he blogged about this cool idea.  A bunch of VO actors have submitted a demo of what their version of the ABC World News intro would sound like, now that Diane Sawyer has taken over as anchor.

Although I’m not a voice over guy by trade, I’ve done some VO work in a past life.  And after listening to a bunch of entries, I thought it would be fun to do a demo myself.

Here’s a list (with MP3 links) of all the voice over entries.

Below is what I came up with.
