Commercials Launch Voice-Over Artist to Fame
Summary
TV commercials are more than mere breaks between programs. A recent series of GEICO ads has become a sensation, viewed thousands of times on platforms like YouTube and MySpace.Article
Think TV commercials are just filler? Think again. GEICO's latest ad campaign, featuring voice-over artist D.C. Douglas, has captivated audiences and racked up thousands of plays on YouTube and MySpace over the past few months.
These commercials showcase Douglas introducing everyday people alongside celebrities like Little Richard, Burt Bacharach, Verne Troyer, Peter Graves, and Charo.
Following the success of these ads, Douglas has been swamped with requests for more commercials. A seasoned voice-over artist serving a wide range of advertisers, he finds the overwhelming response mind-blowing.
However, Douglas wasn't just waiting for his lucky break with the GEICO ads. With a 20-year career in TV and film, he's appeared in shows like "Beverly Hills: 90210," "Las Vegas," and "What About Brian," as well as films like "Under Siege II," "The Commission," and "Totally Blonde."
Beyond acting and voice work, Douglas is an accomplished writer and film producer, crafting several award-winning films. He wears many hats?"producing, writing, directing, acting, editing, animating, and promoting his projects.
In 2005, his short film "Duck, Duck, Goose!" played at more than 20 festivals worldwide, winning accolades such as Best Short at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival and Best Actor at the Trenton Film Festival.
Douglas isn’t resting on his laurels. He has a slate of projects lined up for 2007, including five films like "Deadwater" with Lance Henriksen and "Universal Remote: The Movie" with Charles Q. Murphy. He’ll also appear in the Hallmark Channel movie "Final Approach" and star in his own short film "The Crooked Eye" alongside Fay Masterson.
Despite his rising status thanks to the GEICO campaign, Douglas remains accessible for voice-over work. He humorously notes that you can hire national voice talent with just a click. His website, www.myvoiceoverguy.com, facilitates requests for smaller companies, while his union offers go through his LA agent at Abrams Artists Agency. On his site, you can also listen to sound clips from the famous GEICO commercials.
