I feel like theres something to be said for the fact that even though he was doing ads for frozen peas and whatever, he still maintained that it should be read like someone was reading Shakespeare.
he has a really brilliant type of grasp on presentation factor, the way he wanted to nitpick the sell of the ad by how palatable the script's wordplay is. it really is just overblown and silly and probably mostly orson drunk-petty but i feel like theres something of a point there to how fundamental pleasure is in communication, which hed probably always had a really strong/career informed stance on
The following transcript is from Jonathan Lynn, who talked with Welles about the background behind the directors getting him for the recording: One night he told us about his voice over for Findus frozen peas. “An ad agency called and asked me to do a voice over. I said I would. Then they said would I please come in and audition. 'Audition?' I said. 'Surely to God there’s someone in your little agency who knows what my voice sounds like?' Well, they said they knew my voice but it was for the client. So I went in. I wanted the money, I was trying to finish Chimes at Midnight. I auditioned and they offered me the part! Well, they asked me to go to some little basement studio in Wardour Street to record it. I demanded payment in advance. After I'd gotten the cheque I told them 'I can’t come to Wardour Street next week, I have to be in Paris.' I told them to bring their little tape-recorder and meet me at the Georges Cinq Hotel next Wednesday at eleven am. So they flew over to Paris, came to the hotel at eleven - and were told that I had checked out the day before." He chortled happily. "I left them a message telling them to call me at the Gritti Palace in Venice. They did, and I told them to meet me there on Friday. When they got there I was gone - they found a message telling them to come to Vienna." Now he was laughing uproariously. "I made them chase me all around Europe with their shitty little tape recorder for ten days. They were sorry they made me audition."
@@pthithicbut you have to remember it wasn’t the executives chasing him around. It was probably some poor interns or engineers who had to chase him everywhere.
"You underestimate me, Mrs. Buckley. For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little farm in Lincolnshire. But now, you shall witness its DISMEMBERMENT!"
Could you imagine getting old Orson Welles and Marlon Brando together on a commercial? It would take an hour for every 5 minutes of actual material produced. Does anyone else hear the giant glass of probably alcohol he pours.
I think “crisp crumb coating” is more grammatically correct. Like you would say “big green balloons” but never say “green big balloons”. There is an order to adjectives.
@@sabatino1977 I think I see. So, "green" and "crumb" are a fundamental category of balloon / coating, whereas "big" and "crisp" are relative, vague, less essential descriptors that are comparatively just a notch more vestigial than a more defining objective category. Something is only big or crisp in comparison to something less so. But something either factually is or is not green or comprised of crumbs, hence getting closer grammatical placement to the noun.

Surely, Orson must be thinking . . . My goodness, how did I get to this point where I'm drunkenly pedaling ads--Christ--I MADE CITIZEN KANE IN MY 20s!!
Paul Hunt played this audio for me about 1985. He told me he was the audio engineer. Orson always used his own audio engineer and Paul was that guy. This recording came from Paul's personal collection. He also showed me footage from a lost, last film by Orson. Paul told me many stories over a bottle of whiskey. So when "The Other Side of the Wind" came out I had to see it. There was Paul's name with sound credit. So I guess Paul told me the truth. Thanks Paul Hunt.
It's a good thing he recorded this and kept the recordings because no one would believe this if he would venture to tell them that this is what Orson Welles did.
Uh..thats weird because Orson asks him "who the hell are you?" And the man replies, "Im the engineer." So it seems as if Orson does not know the engineer.
What can you say? The man was a master storyteller and as his work was representative of his talent he wanted every word to be perfect. It's part of what made him such a great artist.
I just love it when that set of actors with the "voice of God" curse and insult. Welles, Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones, let them curse up a storm and say the meanest shit they can think of, and I'll sit here and watch and laugh my ass off all day.
@Sammy Reed - ha, whatever you want to believe. It was already a "dirty phrase" when he made the commercial. You show me where anyone used "go down on you" to mean "defeat soundly," and I'll let you flog me with a wet noodle.
Sometimes we're influenced by people not just to do certain things, but also to _not_ do certain other things as well. Case in point, this tape of Orson Welles influenced me to _not_ be difficult to work with directors when I voice act (like arguing and not complying with certain directions). He's still one of my favorites though.
@@king_big_pp They were intimidated but still pests. They should have STFU and let him read the copy the way he wanted to. It was like a couple of high school drama coaches telling Marlon Brando how to act.
Few, if any, have known the unbelievable pleasure of Orson's oral services. Most don't even qualify for the sounds of "slurp...slurp....I love this penis...yes!....Always!" They can only hope to hear these erotically zealous statements in their drunken dreams...we true orson-knights know that his repulsiveness will be far outwieghed by his cuddliness....we hope....
And remember, there is no fish stick like Mrs. Pelle's Mr. Welles, this isn't a commercial I know that! It was a declaration of love! Yes! Oh yes! They're even better raw!
I'm not sure... there is another, better quality version of the audio that doesn't have the slurriness that this one does. I'm wondering if this was just a bad (or manipulated) copy.
A friend of mine gave me a burned CD years ago that was a bunch of outtakes from celebrity VO work. The CD degraded to the point where it can't be played anymore, but the two I always remember are this one and one where Nick Nolte was doing a VO for a Chevy Silverado commercial and berating the producer for how bad he was.
You gotta feel for the guys on the other side of the recording booth. They probably went into the frozen peas and foods industry to avoid this kind of stress.

I guess this is what happens when you make one of history's greatest movies at age 25, even in the best case scenario you really can only move downwards from there.
Hilarious! As a voice actor I have had to read some very poorly written copy,Trying to make it sound sensible is the challenge...LOVE Orson's honesty, something nobody else could convey.
Anyone else wondering what went on behind the scenes while he was recording for Transformers: The Movie? "I've summoned you here for a purpose", do you really mean that? He's just been floating aimlessly through space, I didn't summon him...
I remember being on the other side of one of these things for an internal PTEC ad; the talent I was taking for it wasn't as testy, but I wanted to see if I could get a better take than his first one... Nope lol
TurtleFL Agree totally. The client has hired a well known person for the recognition of their voice. Don't fuck with the way they deliver their lines, else expect an embarrassing smack-down.

I'm reminded of the commercial for Rosebud Frozen Peas shown in The Critic. He was voiced by Maurice Lamarche.
The original ending to The Magnificient Ambersons is lost forever, but hey, at least we have this.
Howard Stern played this for years and years beginning in the late '80's, as well as the Shatner and Kasem outtakes. They never get old.
Mwaaaaaah the peas. Celebrated everywhere for it's frozenness.
I'm from Lincolnshire. We don't get much snow.
What is a gonk, do you mind telling me?
"... a bang from outside"
Like A Narf but from the Outside
He's our lord and savior, with mighty talons and jaws of power. We follow the raptor loa no matter the enemy we face. Unless it's a hunter. Or a paladin. Or another druid. Or basically any other class, BUT STILL, we shall praise our lord Gonk, the raptor god.

Thank you for posting this so long ago. Honestly thought I would never here it.
This is frickin hilarious lmao. 'Get me a jury to show me you can say that and I'll go down on you.'
"I take direction from just one person, and under protest..." Is one of the great quotes of all-time
"Too much directing around here."
Yes, always.
I guess this is what happens when you make one of history's greatest movies at age 25, even in the best case scenario you really can only move downwards from there.
He made a few good others. Maybe his decline had to do with pissing off Hearst.
Hilarious! As a voice actor I have had to read some very poorly written copy,Trying to make it sound sensible is the challenge...LOVE Orson's honesty, something nobody else could convey.
Poor orson wells, doing some bullsh!t commercial for a few bucks. I feel you man.
"...I'll go down on you." hahaha
"What is it you want, in the depths of your ignorance, what is it you want?"
Anyone else wondering what went on behind the scenes while he was recording for Transformers: The Movie?
"I've summoned you here for a purpose", do you really mean that? He's just been floating aimlessly through space, I didn't summon him...
Probably a lot of wine drinking, eating and jems like this
Ohh I'd love to know. I can only imagine!
Mwahaaaa, the universe has always been celebrated for its endlessness.
"GONK" it is my new word that I plan on using in everyday conversation. "Hey guys did you hear that gonk"?
I remember being on the other side of one of these things for an internal PTEC ad; the talent I was taking for it wasn't as testy, but I wanted to see if I could get a better take than his first one... Nope lol
So I'd say the rule of thumb is, if the talent has been in the biz a lot longer than you, and he says it's good, then that's your last take.
TurtleFL Agree totally. The client has hired a well known person for the recognition of their voice. Don't fuck with the way they deliver their lines, else expect an embarrassing smack-down.
2:30 yes always. RIP Orson
He sounds like Kylo Ren towards the end of the video. hahaha
