Donald Leroy "Don" LaFontaine (August 26, 1940-September 1, 2008) had the resonant voice that introduced over 5,000 film trailers that often began with the phrase "In a world...."
He also did hundreds of thousands of television advertisements.
As LaFontaine tells it, his voice cracked at the age of 13 in the middle of a sentence and his voice morphed into the bass tones that made his famous.
Here is a short You Tube video hosted by Don himself. Enjoy.
