Random odd question: who is this narrator?
He, whoever he is, is all over the place on YouTube, as well as a TV commercial hawking hard-on pills. Example:

I read your thread title and immediately thought of “The Narrator”.

It’s at the point where I just skip videos when it’s that voice.

Gone are the days of Morgan Freeman, Jean Shepherd, and James Earl Jones.

They tweak that particular voice for different videos and ads.

They also have an AI voice clone of Joe Rogan.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Don't even get me started on that vaguely British infovideo voice.

Melvin Schmebly,
Originally from a small city in Northern Iowa.

He painted out buildings for cash in the summer and eventually mowed yards.

Doing both after 6 years made him weary and although it kept him out of trouble, he knew they weren't for him long term

He remembered listening to people on the a.m. radio station out of Des Moines and thinking, " they have it made".

While visiting a cousin in Chicago he saw an ad for voice over work at a college radio station.

He got the job but it paid very little, not enough in fact so he worked as the announcer at the Grayhound bus station until one day,
The
Call from Herb Fleminger at
Wally's world of Linoleum hired him for commercials.

Nine months flew by in no time,
With 24 commercials on tape he
left the Midwest for the west coast and after forty five days of readings, meetings he landed a job,

Through the kindness of a lady named Patty Landrow ,his submission got put well ahead of dozens of others in the pile.

He and Patty dated awhile but they didn't have enough in common.

But Patty's boss found Melvin a guy to promote his talents.


Then a long came world wide web and videos.

Now he works from home in a five story condo with a dozen nice neighbors over looking lake shore drive.
