Real good impersonation, however to make it spot on you need to drink a lot more alcohol or swallow a few razor blades, neither of which I recommend.

Well drinking a lot in moderation may not be that bad, if you know what I mean.

That other voice with you sounds VERY familiar. Would there be an Imaginator in there somewhere???

....guilty as charged. last year, i was contacted to see if i could do a sound-alike of their original mr. highpressure announcer. never thought i'd be voicing anything like that.

but like i stated elsewhere, they're nice people at the studio and they pay promptly.

nice work on your end, jeff. let me know what kind of deal they'll cut you on the bentley!

But wait... there's more...

Nice work you guys!

I have to laugh, whenever I see/hear Billy May/Hays, I always think of Lee and his love for Mr. Mays. Kiss

I've always wondered if Billy Mays lives with those who are, or is himself, hearing-impaired. I can mute the audio on my TV when he comes on, and my apartment will start cleaning itself out of fear.

Motto of the Ethel Merman School of Projection:
"Microphones Are for Wusses"

I wonder how Billy would sound reading a romantic novel.


WHAT???
