Sorry to regurgitate news, but I thought this important. 

There is going to be a fundraiser for the Don LaFontaine Voice-over Lab, presented by the Screen ActorsGuild (SAG) Foundation. The fundraiser will be at the home of Joe Cipriano, on Wednesday, September 2, 2009.  Tickets are $150 per person, and the event is limited to 200 people.  Be sure to get your ticket NOW if you are going to attend. 

Joe Cipriano has been quoted saying,

“The Don LaFontaine Voice Over Lab will keep Don’s legacy of givingback to the community alive.  The Lab will be at the SAG Foundation Actors Center and feature 2 state of the art recording studios and a classroom where voice actors will be able to hone their craft. Seminars will be taught by the best in the business and the studios will be available for actors to work on demos, do auditions, jobs and take workshops all for no charge whatsoever.

The Don LaFontaine Lab at the Actors Center will become the place for the voice over community to learn, teach and inspire.

It’s going to be an incredible night.  Fantastic food, drink (a DLF signature cocktail at the bars) and live entertainment with SPECIAL SURPRISE GUESTS performing LIVE.  Valet parking provided.

This is a great opportunity to remember Don and meet and mingle with colleagues and friends from every aspect of the industry on both sides of the microphone who have gathered to show their support of this tribute to DLF.  You’ll meet new friends and I’m guessing you’ll seesome you haven’t seen in years. 

We’ll also have a few one-of-a-kind original drawings that Don penned on his scripts during sessions that will be for sale in the silent auction.  These are very rare and you’ll be amazed when you see them. Fantastic memorabilia, with all proceeds going to the Lab.  100% Tax deductible.”

I don't know about you, but it sure does sound like a fun time to me for a very good cause!! What a neat venue for voiceover artists to gather and learn the craft.  I was going to try to attend, but unfortunately, cannot make it.  If you go, please come back to my blog and tell us all about it!!!
