Friday Fun – Orson Welles and the frozen peas

This week’s Friday Fun isn’t a spoof at all (though it’s provided the material to spawn plenty!)

The date of the recording is uncertain, but it’s utterly timeless, regardless. The late Orson Welles was hired by Findus to voice a series of television advertisements for their range of frozen peas, and it’s great example of what happens when voice acting goes bad. Listen, as we venture where egos dare…

“Get me a jury and show me how you can say in July and I’ll go down on you!” Classic…

You can read more about the clip at Wikipedia, and next week I’ll bring you probably the most famous reply to this piece of voice acting history. Until then, have a great weekend and remember to share any great voiceover clips you know of by dropping me a line!
