Brain 81 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Why have we lost so many voiceover artists in the last ten years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie56 3059 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 According to All Access, it was from pancreatic cancer. So sad. https://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/185069/iconic-superstar-voiceover-artist-chris-corley-pas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Weigel posted this small tribute, as he was also one of the VOs of Movies!. I'll always remember him as the VO of WPWR after Fox took over in the early 2000s. May he & his wife rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSZNews 1046 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Ugh. A shock to us in the moment, but it does explain in hindsight why a couple of stations flipped away from him recently. There's no way you can take on a workload like he did and still fight that kind of fight. Fuck cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasTVNews 1366 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 RIP Chris Corley and Godspeed. Say hello to Doug Paul, Chris Clausen, Brian James, Nick Michaels and Gary Owens for all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjt24 309 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I remember hearing his great voice on WTOV9 in the early to mid 2000s. May he rest in peace... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Buck 35 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Damn; this is a huge blow to the voiceover industry. KPTV has used him ever since they became a FOX affiliate in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Monday I was a bit surprised to hear a new voice for their newscast voiceovers and I was going to come on here to post about it as I wondered why. But it took me a few days to get around to it and then I saw this post. Now I know. I really liked Chris Corley and associate his voice so much with KPTV and FOX. While he will be missed, I know there are plenty of other good options out there, and unfortunately I don't like the new voice KPTV chose. Sounds stale and too old for the type of style/audience KPTV goes for. Anybody recognize it?

Replacing longtime voiceovers while getting replaced at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGSJenkins 431 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 7 minutes ago, J1975am said: Chris Corley had been the V/O for newscasts on KLFY in Lafayette since at least 2016, before Nexstar took over. Not sure who they will use going forward; I'm pretty sure they will continue to use Corley's voice for the time being. Pat Garrett did serve as the V/O for KLFY's newscasts in the late 2000s up until 2012, when the V/Os were (I think) done in-house. Not sure if Garrett's style would mesh well with the station currently. Which begs the question: Do any Nexstar stations use local, or in-house, V/Os for their newscast??? Garrett is being used on sister station KOLR since 2009 and they have the same graphics as KLFY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
