It's the smarmy, overly excited, commercial voices for me. And I'm saying that as a VO artist who's produced HUNDREDS of smarmy, overly excited commercials over the years. I'm so sick of it. I've taken drastic steps to try and block all ads from my life. Somehow it's never enough.
Downvoting because you're one of them and you chose to earn a living doing something that you & everyone else despises.
I did what I could to earn enough money to pay my rent, support my pets, and put food on my table.
Also, my current views on ads have been largely formed in a gradual process over the last 5-7 years, while I've been working in VO long before then.
If it's any consolation to you, AI has devoured most of my market in the last 3 years and left me with maybe 5-10% of the work I used to get.
More accurately I WAS one of them, but people change ๐
Upvote for smarmy
An underused word to be sure
