Vinny doing non-gaming work?

Is it just me, or is the voice over in the top chef video on this page one Vinny Caravella?

That sure sounds like him, also they do work in the same building as TV Guide, so...

@svestus:

Oh wow, auto-playing vids suck, but yeah that's Vinny. I guess TV Guide would rather not pay an actual VA to do those since they probably make those types of videos often.

Vinny and Jeff both do VO now. Brad's dulcet tones are not for sale!

@svestus: Vinny and Alex have said they have pitched in to help with a few TV Guide things when they needed some assistance. That's why they met some celebrities the other day. I assumed most of what they were doing was technical help, but it looks like they have done some voice work, as well.

CBSi manages the digital portion of TV Guide; so, it makes sense that they might ask them to help out a little when they're in the studio.

That reading was a little dry, Vinny. Can we take it again?

Yup that's Vinny.

And to rank his performance - 3/5

I thought Vinny delivered the lines with clarity, but the overall package lacked the "pizzazz" of a triple-a voice over.

I'd like to see what Activision could do with him.

@doctordonkey: He's not called One Take Caravella for nothing.

Aha, is this our Top Chef Duels?!

@alucitary: I imagine someone walked into the studio while they were setting up for a Quick Look and asked him, "Hey, could you read this paragraph for me? Thanks."

I would love to hear this add as performed by Small Businessman.

He has mentioned Top Chef as a favorite show of his before (I SWEAR I'M NOT STALKING HIM). So not too shocking he would jump at the chance to do this.

Go Vinny!

This makes me want to see an entire reality show with voiceover narration provided by Vinny.

Small Businessman on the rise it seems :D

Man, the TV Guide channel, remember when that was relevant? I remember always switching to that channel to see what was on. I'm actually surprised that it's still around.

Oh yeah, and Vinny was alright. He needed to sound a bit more excited though, it was a very monotone delivery.

They're poaching Vinny from us!!! D:

Since Vinny is on televison does this mean we have to revoke his title of small business man? He's basically a celebrity.

Good job Vindog.

So who's hungry?

Vinny sharing the same page with Rory Gilmore, inconceivable! The apocalypse is nigh.

Need Vinny to bring his hot new take on digital media to Radio Times...

Yep that's definitely Vinny. I'm scared now. Does that mean that giant bomb is a scared little puppy in a woven basket and Vinny is the previous owner of said pup that leaves the pup on a strangers doorstep?

There was probably someone telling him how to do the voiceover. I doubt they'd ask him to do his "I've Had Media Training" voice.

For reference:

Well played CBS...I just watched a video on the *TV Guide website*

That was... weird.

I needed to be reminded of this today. Thanks!

I feel like a oh oh.

I feel like that need a little more "umph" but decent nonetheless.

Oh definitely Vinny. It's really strange to hear him outside of GB related material.

O man that ending.

Weird... Really fucking weird.

That's 100% definitely him. I lost it when he said "gastronomic".

Edit: Oh my god, there is more. This is amazing.

Edit 2: There's so much. It's like sifting for gold. (here's my favorite so far)

These are TV programmes I'd expect from a Verhoeven film or something, I mean Naked Dating can't be real, can it? Vinny narrating over the top only makes it even more surreal. Good find, Duders.

I wonder if they're tapping him to do the editing as well? Strange days.

This is great.

@funkys: My dad flipped to it one day and it was so fucking awkward. There's a similar show where it's 2 survivalists that have to go out into the wilderness naked. While also stupid, at least the premise of that show forces the 2 people to respect/trust each other fully so they can make it through to the end unscathed. This show is just shameless vanity where 2 pretty people judge each others "assets".

This stuff happens and yeah it is Vinny. I have family that worked for some major media companies and this always happens. Their actual job was managerial but they would be tapped to voice radio adverts, do some video voice over, some broadcasting, etc etc whenever they needed it too. When you work for a company like that your job is basically anything your talent set covers when they need it covered.

Hey has anyone found Alex doing a TV guide video yet?

Oh man this is pretty great.

Around the 0:58 mark where he's talking about Verlox (?) and his army, it kind of sounds like he's cracking up. And who could blame him?

Oh, and nice pull on the Radio Times cover from 1996, @fattony12000, I wonder what life after Peak Practice was like?

This is the best.

That's really neat. Good on Vinny. :D

The vivacious blonde and the buff rogue.

Life no longer has any meaning. It is a hollow, dead thing.

Jeff has a great VO voice. Dude can talk.

Cool for Vinny that he got to do voice work for TV Guide videos. I wouldn't worry him leaving GB though guys this might be a side job of his.

One of the hosts of a podcast I listen to also does ads on a Chicago radio station and it weirds me out every time I hear it.

Holy shit, that's pretty great

That's Vinny alright

Having Vinny do the VO has probably tripled the viewership on these videos. Nice call CBSi!
