Press Release Summary = Tony LaHood, a Voices.com voice actor, brings a unique
authenticity and interpretive skill to his projects.

Press Release Body = New York, NY (Express Press Release) June 27, 2007 - Tony
LaHood started his voice acting career during a 12-year stint as an advertising
copywriter. As the story goes, Tony wrote and directed numerous advertisements for
radio and TV, possessing an intimate knowledge of not only his advertising copy, but
how it should be interpreted for maximum impact. After directing many an
agency-hired voice actor in session, Tony quickly realized that not only could he do
better voice acting, but that being in front of the microphone looked like a lot
more fun than writing copy.

Over the years, Tony LaHood has assembled a personal pantheon of voiceover artists
and voice actors with names like Daws Butler, Don LaFontaine, Ed Herrmann, and Keith
David. According to Tony, these individuals inspire him by having used the talent
with which they were blessed to move and inspire others. In a recent interview, Tony
revealed that "Possessing the ability to use only my voice - my instrument, if you
will - to move people to laugh, to cry, to arouse them, and to comfort them is at
once exhilarating, magical - and frankly, quite humbling."

Since Tony LaHood's voiceover specialty is trustworthy and reassuring delivery of a
message, it's no surprise that corporate and documentary narration comes naturally
to him. Clients and voice coaches often liken his voice to those of David Ogden
Stiers and John O'Hurley. What's more, a killer impression of Rodney Dangerfield
lingers in his repertory of character voices.

Tony intimated, "I love words - writing them, interpreting them, animating them.
When I'm in front of the mic, I consider myself an artist using a palette of words
to create a work of art."

Recently, Tony was a member of the cast in "Rain Falls from Earth", an upcoming
documentary film narrated by Sam Waterston, that deals with Cambodia under the Khmer
Rouge. He has also voiced numerous podcasts and industrial and corporate videos, and
performs live comedy and improv on a regular basis.
