I love coming across things like this!
This interview with movie trailer voice Ashton Smith was conducted in 2003 by NPR. If anything, Ashton has gotten even more popular since then as he’s pretty much everywhere these days when it comes to trailer work. You know how Don LaFontaine was famous for shuttling from session to session in a limo back in the day? Well Ashton takes it one step further and flies to and from his sessions every day. Too cool.

Joe,
Great story!

Fantastic story, as a young,actually really young(19), as a young person who is looking to get into this in the future, the audio clips were great. Ashton Smith is not really seen in the media a lot. I’ve seen other interviews of other famous “movie trailer” voices, but not Mr. Smith.
Listen to the way he talks, really smooth and deep
Only one word……..Amazing!
