Yorkshire Television in the UK has prepared a short documentary about one of the UK’s most prolific voiceover talents, Mike Hurley.
And I offer my thanks to my friend Joe Rodriguez for posting a link to this video on the VO-BB, thus helping me find it.
Update: I’ve just learned that this documentary was done in 1994, just to set the context.)
Further update: As noted in the comments below, and as noted in this article, Mike has passed away.
Thanks for sharing. Mike is one of the best known voices in the UK. However, it wasn’t until I saw this documentary that I realised how many character voices on national TV spots he was responsible for. A talented guy indeed !
(Love the U47 on a chain arrangement !)
Alan,
You’re most welcome. Thank you for stopping by and filling in just a bit more background for us. And yes, I too love the U47 on a chain!
Be well,
Bob
Unfortunately I have heard the sad news that Mike passed away in hospital this morning after suffering a stroke at the age of just 59. A sad loss to the industry. http://www.radiotoday.co.uk/news.php?extend.3099.2
Alan,
Thank you for sharing this news, though it is sad indeed.
Be well,
Bob
A tragic loss of a great voice talent.
Much too soon.
Condolences to his family and friends.
