September 1, 2008 seems to be a very sad day for VO. We all know Don passed yesterday and will be greatly missed. But, oddly or coincidentally, John Leader has apparently retired: http://www.johnleader.com/

And quite emphatically too.

Well, best of luck to him.

Well, since we're not in the "corporate" world, to heck with the pomp and circumstance of a "resignation" letter, heh?

Actually, Caryn, we may have just witnessed the 21st Century's version of the resignation letter! Smile

Direct from his agent: "Yes. John Leader has retired from voiceover."

I wish him well and hope he has many happy years ahead of him.

Maybe his agent wrote the article?

I just listened to his movie trailer demo. He must be proud. It's/he's really good.

Todd, I believe that should be in the plural, which is "hellwichAS".

Just a suggestion.
