Can you recognize the voices on TV voiceover commercials?

Jim Halpert does Esurance

I'm pretty good at it.

I don't know if any of y'all watch the old shows on Antenna TV, but there is one of those reverse mortgage commercials on there that has a damn good Morgan Freeman impersonator. It could easily fool some of the old folks. I wonder if Freeman could sue?

Yeah that's a pretty easy one. Mike Rowe and Denis Leary are another cpl that are pretty easy.

Yep, recognized that one easily, but just thought "the guy from The Office".

Me either. That's one reason I keep the Misses around. That and when I see someone and can't remember what else they've played in.

But thanks to Google and smartphones as I mentioned, she's becoming less needed.

When my phone can make a sandwich she will be gone.

I can do it for commercials and animated movies very easily, even if I've heard the voice only once or twice or only recognize the voice associated with some other character in another animated movie/series. Female voices are a little more difficult unless they have an obviously distinct pitch or resonance. In contrast, I can't recognize or remember faces at all.

Jon Hamm (Don Draper) does all of the Mercedes Benz ads.

I know who he is, but I haven't watched the series so I'm not familiar with his voice.

Gonna have to pay attention to the Benz commercials.
