And as to Barrington "Barry G" Gordon , I ran into him a couple times when I used to work in Kingston and he got a big head and can't be much more than 5 feet tall if that. I think he may be married to this chick Jossett(sp?) so you may need to keep it moving. I don't think this voice strategy of yours is an efficient way to find love.
SmoothOperator are you sure you are talking about this guy? He doesn't look like a big head, gravitationally challenged man. This man is really sexy. Smooth voice, lots of energy. Check out the hip action.
He looks like he is having a blast. Who is the man at the end? His face is familiar but I am drawing a blank. Is it Prince Jammy?
No I won't be checking out his "hip" action...the ladies can though. But in the clip he referencing 1985. When I used to see him regular it was in the 90s - he was heavy and round, like a fat pot bellied lil business man and yes Barry G is very much on the shorter side of life.

And he sounded so silky smooth and looked so fit and sexy in that clip.
Anyway, onoo ave mi list and examples of what's in my ballpark. Keep the referrals coming.
Still awaiting dahjah's tapes for the callback audition.
Nothing, boring Canadian or bland about that. Very nice dahjah. Is that really you.
Dahjah, you have a callback based on that audition tape. Please forward a next one or two with some talking and if you have one where you slip into Jamaican, throw that into the mix so I can see how it lines up against the voiceover artist from the Come to Jamaica commercial.
That voice deh have copyrights suh mi nah jus guh roun an flash it all bout fi free
Got one more announcer with the smooth, sexy voice - Milton Blake. Unfortunately, he passed away a few years ago and I don't have any tape on him.
Radio host, activist inspired community
For Milton Blake, music and activism were irrevocably intertwined.

For Milton Blake, music and activism were irrevocably intertwined.
It was on the airwaves, both in his native Jamaica and in Toronto, that the 63-year-old fought for the rights and the cultural identity of the black community, coupling the works of artists like Aretha Franklin and Bob Marley with his own brand of social commentary.
As the host of "Musical Triangle," a music and talk show on CKLN, Blake informed and inspired listeners for 17 years before illness forced him to step down. Blake died Thursday after a four-year battle with colon cancer.
He spent his last three months at Peel Memorial Hospital in Brampton, surrounded by friends, relatives and many listeners intent on supporting the man they admired.
"Everyone knows the voice of Milton Blake," said Dudley Laws, Blake's long-time friend and co-founder of the Black Action Defence Committee, an activist group of which Blake was a founding member. The group was created in 1988 in response to several shootings of black men by Toronto-area police and led several protests to push for more progressive laws.
"His radio program was inspirational to a lot of people in the community," because it dealt with the issues and problems of the black diaspora, Laws said. "His commentary was very militant but you could see that he thought through every word that he uttered."
As co-founder of the Black Music Association's Toronto chapter, Blake helped promote the works of Canadian black artists and successfully lobbied for the inclusion of a black music category in the Juno music awards.
"He kept himself very busy," said Pauline Crooks, Blake's partner of 10 years. "I don't know how he did it."
She described Blake as a caring, dependable man with a passion for his work and a strong perfectionist streak. He loved to read about history and current events, she said.
The couple would often take long walks together near their home in Brampton. Blake also doted on his four children, as well as Crooks' two daughters, Crooks said.
Blake remained optimistic until the end, telling Crooks they would travel to his hometown of Fort George, in St. Ann, Jamaica. "Milton always believed in miracles," she said.
A viewing will be held at the Simple Alternative Centre in Mississauga on Thursday, from 1 to 3 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. The funeral will take place at the West-End Church of God of Prophecy in Etobicoke, Saturday at 1 p.m. Blake will be interred in St. Ann, Jamaica.
Wow just called an older cousin and notice that he has a sexy radio voice. I was closer to his sister who has just passed away. Funeral is tomorrow. I asked if he had ever considered radio. He said when he first moved to Toronto they were holding auditions and he went down but, in those days they wouldn't even hire someone with a British accent.
I have another older cousin who also has that kind of voice. RichD, Walhalla and Dr. Dudd.....is it the older men who had that wonderful smooth voice with the beautiful inflection? Has it died out with the new generations?
You did warn me that pre-screening men on the basis of a smooth, silky and sexy voice was not a good strategy.Turns out not one of these men has received a favourable reference from their fellow Jamaican men. Who no gallis, short, round and ugly. Who noh ugly is a drunkard.
Dahjah has many marks against him despite his sexy voice, HIGH intelligence, Black consciousness, and fine eyes He has a highly unfavorable reference from a former lover (which I love to keep reminding him about) , he doesn't celebrate Christmas or Valentine's Day, he doesn't believe in bringing flowers, He refuses to accompany me to Bible study, and he is not at all flexible re: de baggy dropping ting. His list of faults just keeps growing. Now he has confessed that he refuses to dress up for galas and formals.
Franksterr....do you have the report from your brother yet? Can the guy with the sexy voice for the Jamaica commercials get a good reference. Mi noh want no gallis man, drunkard or short ugly and round, big head man.
RichD come forward with more recommendations. Surely some of your lodge members must fit the bill. You are holding out on me.
