| Before everyone in Canada and the US starts setting fireworks a-blazin’ and singing anthems & ‘Happy Birthday’ to their respective nations – I wanted to poke my head in to wish you a fantastic & safe summer, from imedge communications voiceovers in Toronto.
This Sunday, July 1st, marks Canada’s 145th birthday. Long ago someone gave the day the clever title of Canada Day. (FYI – for my US friends & associates – on this special day it’s mandatory for all Canadian citizens to emerge from their igloos to play hockey, drink beer & chant “eh” in unison).
Next Wednesday, July 4th, is America’s 236th birthday marking the anniversary of a bunch of rebels & freedom-seekers basically flipping the bird to the “Old World” once and for all. Tea was also involved. “The 4th” is commemorated as Independence Day – or as some know it: a cool movie from a few years ago with Will Smith kicking alien a**!

Someone asked me how you become the voice of a toy? Well, you either have to be able to pull off weird voices as part of your vocation – or, like me, simply be immature.

Alright – and now onto some other voice over highlights in keeping with this edition’s loosely based yet patriotic Can-Am theme:
