		Don LaFontaine's booming, baritone voice is as familiar to most of us as Tom Cruise's and Harrison Ford's, but hardly anyone recognises his name.
		More than 3000 trailers are graced by LaFontaine's baritone rumble, which is more than you'd guess as he is able to modulate his voice from the gravelly bass, able-to-burst-speakers-at-20-paces voice used for action blockbusters, to a more singsong and upbeat tone for light-hearted fare.
		Before the '60s, LaFontaine says, almost all of the advertising for movies was done in-house, with the trailers being recorded as a kind of afterthought by the editors of the movie.

	Research Branch - Don Lafontaine \| The Explorer
		It's fitting that entomologist Don Lafontaine's office smells of mothballs; after all, his specialty is butterflies and moths.
		Lafontain and the other scientists research Canadian bugs that hurt crops, such as cutworms, and those that help them, such as ladybugs.
		Customs agents will often courier strange-looking bettles and moths to Lafontaine for a quick ID. In fact, a few years ago agents were so worried about a species of gypsy moth from the Far East that they would travel over a hundred miles offshore to inspect boats and cargoes coming from that region.

		The area around Lafontaine rises away from the shoreline to go into Awenda Provincial Park at the top of the peninsula, and the brevet route then heads south into Penetanguishene and Midland.
		Don had had the wisdom to bring along a map, which helped us stay (more or less) on route, and Carey had a helmet-mounted light to clarify issues at dark, country-road intersections.
		For Jaye, Don, Carey, and Rolf, this was indeed cause for celebration, as they had completed their first 400K brevet.

		Don LaFontaine, arguably the most successful and famous voice-over actor, places high value on time management in the workplace.
		A converted electrical room in the bottom floor of LaFontaine's house serves as a 6×5-foot vocal booth; the control room is housed among a media storage area and machinery for other A/V equipment.
		To acoustically enhance the space, Whittam installed Auralex Elite Pro panels on the wall and bass traps between the wall and ceiling, and encased a noisy home-surveillance recorder inside a soundproof KK Audio Quiet Rack QR-16.

		You know Don, even if you think you don't: his is the reverberating, honey-and-gravel voice that has accompanied approximately 4,000 trailers since 1963, a troublingly large proportion of which seem to have begun with the phrase: "In a world...
		If it were a trailer for a comedy, this would be the point to introduce the "rug pull", the point at which the tone suddenly changes from mock-serious to unashamedly goofy; it is often accompanied on the soundtrack by the sound of a stylus being hurriedly removed from a record turntable.
		As Don Lafontaine might put it, in a world of short attention spans - in a time when the entire movie industry is hopelessly commercially compromised anyway - only one part of a trip to the cinema remains a guaranteed pleasure.

		This is funny, because I was just trying to do the Don LaFontaine (didn't know his name, but saw one short TV feature story on him several years ago) voice a couple hours ago to test a new shotgun mic.
		Even better: Don and several other voice guys sending themselves up in 5 Men in a Limo.
		I heard LaFontaine on an NPR program a few months ago, and he came across as pretty funny and smart.
