Reviews
"After placing the idea on a professional voiceover site more than 60 artists submitted demos, including Hollywood voiceover guru Kurt Kelly and actor Don McCorkindale. They were whittled down to nine for a second round of auditions with a Christmas ‘speak off’. British-born Atlanta resident Mark Pitt came out as a resounding winner having demonstrated a brilliant understanding of the source material."
