How do you write a testimonial for a guy who is uber-talented and always ultra-responsive to the needs of dozens of my clients month after month for the last decade? I guess I just did.  If you are on this website and you are reading this post, stop pondering.  Just pick up the phone, send Von the script, and then hire him!

Richard A. Smith,
Former Advertising Executive
United Artists, Columbia, Universal,
and Cannon (somebody had to do it).  
Currently:  Owner/Creative Director
RAS & Associates, Ltd.

Music:  Up, then under

Not bragging, just facts:  In 40 years I've worked with everyone from Percy Rodriguez to Don LaFontaine (who I knew before he was the Don), Mark Elliott to Hal Douglas, Gene McGarr to Adolph Caesar, Tim McIntire to Brad Crandall, Casey Kasem to Orson Wells, Mason Adams to William Shallert, Rod Serling to Ernie Anderson and, Von Coffman.  

VO:  Von Coffman?  Who the (S/FX: HORN BLAST) is Von Coffman?

Outside of the world of commercials, few of the above names mean anything.  Sure, some are famous for things other than voice-overs. But, hey, none of that other stuff means jack to us ad folk. Right?

Face it, some people just got pipes. Von's got pipes.

Some people got one read.  Von's got diversity.

And, sadly, many of the above greats are dead.  Von isn't.

Some will break the bank. Von will sell the bejesus out of that bank, and leave enough in your account to wine-and-dine the next client.

S/fx:  (cheering crowd)   Von!  Von!  Von!

I've known Von for 20 years, and in that time he has never failed to wow a client. I've never had to remove him from an on-going gig, and those times when a client wanted that dreaded "different direction", they seldom meant a different voice.  In fact, I've had to prove to more than a few clients that the new voice was the same as the old voice (sorry, Pete Townsend):  Von!  

VO:  Now  imagine (sorry, Don) ...that its your copy ...your direction ... and...S/fx: BOOM! ... your smiling client.  S/fx:  Ka-ching!  

I guess what I'm saying is that I like this guy.  You'll like this guy.  Give a listen to his reel.

VO:  Von Coffman.  Try him, you'll like him. Member FDIC, some apples not as green as others.

Real Disclosure:  Okay, nobody's perfect, and neither is Von.  Never ask him to read a price that includes 4 nines in a row.

"Sale price ($) nine-nine-ninety-nine" ain't gonna happen.
