Jurassic Park Meets Don LaFontaine at Bristol Zoo!
Well, this time Bristol Zoo were unveiling their new Dinosaur Exhibit at Bristol Zoo Gardens and asked my colleague, Nick Ralph at Bristol Film Studios to source a Don LaFontaine film trailer style voice over: “…in a world where dinosaurs roamed…” etc. You get the picture.
Luckily, I’ve been doing this type of impression a long time so was happy to have a go, as a tribute to Don of course. The recording called for a very close mic’d technique and swallowing lots of sandpaper beforehand (not really!), but I think we did a really good job.
Dr Bryan Carroll director of Bristol Zoo, said: “It’s fantastic that the dinosaurs are finally here, it is amazing to see them close-up in all their glory – they are quite a spectacle. We are sure that DinoZoo will be a fantastically popular new attraction that will take our guests on a journey that started over 200 million years ago.”
See what you think…

And, just for fun, here are the dinosaurs arriving at Bristol Zoo…
