This article on celebrity voiceovers for adverts made me smile today:
"as the man behind the successful Matthew Rhys Welsh Lamb TV ads, as well as high profile campaigns for Chrysler and Sony Playstation, Rideout says picking the right celebrity to endorse your product is crucial.
“Matthew has that quintessentially Welsh voice, so he was the perfect choice to do that voiceover,” he explains.
“He can take a script that sounds really flat on the page to almost Shakespearean levels - honestly, making that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and he was only talking about meat for God’s sake,” he laughs."
