Does anybody know who the voice belongs to?

They had been using Jim Hault.  Don't know if that's the voice I'm hearing nowadays.

Yeah it's Jim Hault. When they were BCTV it was Jim Conrad.

Thanks guys.

Hmmmm

There was a Jim Hault that did mornings on CJCA back in the early sixties. Surely not the same guy?

Same guy.  Was at CFUN in the 70s too.

Quoted from Nietzsche

Same guy.

From the same era, is Vik Armen still around?

Never mind.

I forgot his aka was Brian Fustukian.

Global's national imaging voice is a full-time VO talent by the name of Todd Schick out of TO. Great guy. For those of you trivia buffs, he is Stu Jeffries brother.

Now, does anyone know the FEMALE imaging voice for Global?

Whoever it is annoys the crap outta me!!!!

Female voice is Renita Neys.

Quoted from prairiejock

Female voice is Renita Neys.

any idea how to get in touch with Renita. I worked with her many moons ago...great lady.

Quoted from SSnS

Whoever it is annoys the crap outta me!!!!

Not NEARLY as annoying as the female announcer voice at TVTropolis..."hit tv lives here".  if she were doing voice-over work for some backwater like Dawson Creek or Rupert that's forgiveable.  but we're talking a national network...

@ Sherwood Puck:

Yeah I know Renita, I talk to her often.  

You can get a hold of her through here:
http://voice123.com/renitaneys

She can forward her home email addy to ya through there.   Cheers.

Hey Prairie Jock, thanks for the info...Renita and I traded a few emails yesterday.
It was nice to get back in touch.

Renita may be a beautiful, wonderful person but her read is off the charts annoying.  Instead of "tee vee" she says it more like "tee vay."  The end of all her sentences sounds very very affected.  Can't stand her.

Just listened to her demo.  She does the same thing with BC, instead of "bee see" it becomes "bee say".  

I happen to like her style.  Every image voice has their crutch and the fact she is constantly being hired for freelance work speaks volumes about what the majority of these stations want to hear.  

I'm sure she gets paid more than you and I combined

Paris Hilton makes more than you and I combined too.  Salary is not related to talent.  I don't like her read and the size of her house, bank account or car is not going to change that opinion.

I think what Prariejock was trying to do was lighten up a critique of a successful voice over talent and remind people, that because "voice" doesn't dig her style, many people do... so who has the problem?

Thanks Flamethrower - exactly what I was trying to say.  She is indeed a success story.

"Voice" - maybe you should call or email Global and complain.  Would be nice to see some more positivity on here.

As for Paris Hilton - I don't believe Renita has been thrown in the slammer.  Apples and Oranges.
