| Then again, Orson ... ( 1 month ago by Watcher3223) |
| Then again, Orson was unprofessional. He's wasting time by being confrontational over minutiae. If he weren't a celebrity of such calibre, his butt would've been fired. However, Orson would leave a bad impression that may make those who worked with him think twice about hiring him again. Don't argue with the director and the script. Just try to make the best of it if you have nothing constructive to improve it. Don LaFontaine, R.I.P., would've taken this guy to school on professionalism. |

| My friend gave me a cut of this on an audio tape when I was in HS, from a radio station. I later heard it on Negativland's 'Happy Heroes' off the track 'Jolly Green Giant' while in college. Funny stuff. If you like the cut here, support Negativland and listen to there remix. |

| Welles wasn't a ' ... ( 3 weeks ago by invictus990) |
| Welles wasn't a 'celebrity', he was one of the formative forces behind radio and film, as we know it. He set the bar against which much is still measured, and to call him unprofessional, despite his behavior, is almost self-contradictory. A few other things- 1. One of the people he's arguing with is not the director, but a PA. 2. No one ever schooled Welles, I suspect Don LaFontaine, like anyone else who knows what's what, would have been proud to work with him under any circumstances. |
| "He was one of the ... ( 3 weeks ago by Watcher3223) |
| "He was one of the formative forces behind radio and film." I'd say that earns him a celebrity status. As for unprofessional, that's exactly what I'm calling it, despite his achievements. You're supposed to do the best you can with the material you've got. If there are problems, you should find ways to constructively improve it. Going off the handle and walking out of a recording session without good reason is unprofessional, plain and simple, as it wastes your client's time and money. |
| And I noticed ... ( 3 weeks ago by Watcher3223) |
| And I noticed negatives under my original comment. Well, people should understand that voice over is a competitive business with lots of extraordinary talent and little work to go around. Unless you earned a particular celebrity status that makes your talents particularly valuable (and even then, a bad attitude can earn you a bad stigma that may make people think twice about hiring you again), you can expect never to work in the field again if you ever act like Mr. Welles did in this session. |

| Another vote for Negativland's "Jolly Green Giant", which takes this clip and makes it sound almost eerie by superimposing it over ominous sounding music. I sympathise with Orson, but I guess he took the job so he should have done it to the best of his abilities. "This is a lot of shit, you know that?" lol:-) |
