I might break my mp3 rule and put up a recording of Orson Wells chewing out an engineer in a V/O session. Holy...
Would that be drunken outtakes from the "Celebrities at Their Worst" comp? Lots of good / awful stuff there. Buddy Rich is unbelievable. And you get to hear Brian Wilson yelling at his dad, the Troggs trying to make a record themselves, Tommy Lasorda chewing out reporters, etc..
I always thought the radio/tv commercial voice was pitched down, so it's molasses and gravy. Try it. Record yourself reading with one of the mics suggested with a little compression. Then, pitch it down some. Presto!

Probably was Buddy.. the "fucking try me" sounds awfully familiar. The story is that the band members were trying to build a case against his abuse, and so started taping his assaults. It goes on and on for like 10 minutes. I can't figure out why someone didn't clobber the fucker..

use a mic pre that has transformers and tons of gain.
then smash the tinkle out of it. then smash tru another
limiter. the old cbs or mosley limiters are great for that
sound. do you want thick late night dj or movie like sound?
the waves L1/L2 will work great. just don't use it on music.

the orson welles one is classic, as is the colonel sanders voiceover attempt where he can barely get a sentence out, stumbles over and over on "finger lickin"...

Yeah, the Orson tape is a classic. I love that bit.
For radio VO we use:
1) a pro VO actor with a really good voice who knows how to use it.
2) A Sennheiser 416 shotgun, moderate compression (Waves Rennaissance in ProTools, otherwise the Drawmer DL241).
...and that about does it. We also use Neumann U89s and Shure KSM44s, but the Sennheiser is the big daddy VO mic.

the troggs thing is what gets me:
dubba dubba dubba CHA! dubba dubba dubba CHA! You have played it TEW-NOYT!
I agree its a f*'ing number one, but it needs a bit of fairy dust or strings on it.
There are 1,2,3...5 producers in this room now!
unreal...
