Joe Hursch/Tom Kane Transition

[Cmdr_Crimson]

My last trip I have noticed that not only has the Monorail audio was switced with voice actor Tom Kane (Prof Utonium, Monkey Fist, Yoda & Admiral Ackbar) but, on a few resort busses they have him now taking over for the narration to the parks...However a few buses still use the Joe Hursch Narration...So what are your thoughts?

I am going to miss hearing "Hello Everyone" Very loud and proud as you embark to your destination it always felt exciting when you first hear it.

Yeah, I'll really miss Joe. But he's being phased out as they re-record all the new loops over time.

I had Joe do some VO work for me a couple years ago, for phone system prompts. I told him to use his best "Disney" voice, and he did. I even had him slip one in that we use on our home outgoing voice mail recording. "You have reached Tom and Wife Lastname. They're not available to take your call right now. Please leave a message and they'll return your call as soon as possible. Thank you!" Imagine that being read just like a bus narration

I recently heard Joe's voice being used inside Party City and he mentions the different IP's and Star Wars & Disney was mentioned...I felt being on the bus when he said it..
