Salutation:

The Loop:

Morgan Freeman Voicing Golf History Vignettes

In voice acting news, Morgan Freeman will do voice-overs for six historical vignettes and tournament public-service announcements that will air during The Golf Channel and NBC broadcasts. The vignettes will feature historical Players moments involving David Duval, Davis Love III, Vijay Singh and former Tour commissioner Deane Beman.

Menus That Talk

In other news, have you ever heard of a talking menu? Menus That Talk, a Miami company that manufactures a line of talking menus for restaurants, cruise ships, museums and other public places, is making headlines as their multilingual restaurant solutions take flight across the US.

These menus are geared to customers that don’t speak English, an aging population with
less-than-perfect vision, and an active blind community that sees no reason to stay at home.

The sequel, Two Worlds : The Temptation is said to have better imagery and also employs professional voice actors, much to the delight of the gaming faithful.
