Agreed

The Eastwood movie was Play Misty for Me Not Play Mystery for Me. SMH

He was MORE than "Boris Badenov". Paul's career as an actor, announcer, narrator and voice artist extended over a period of 40 years. You name it- *HE DID IT.*

You forgot he was on screen in "THE WAR OF THE WORLDS" - 1953. He was the radio announcer.

R.I.P. Paul Frees

Paul Frees was amazing.

My favorite Paul Frees voice was in SUPER CHICKEN as Super Chicken's goofy lion sidekick Fred, doing an Ed Wynn voice. "Fred, you know the job was dangerous when you took it."

Hysterical how the story of a legendary voice actor is so poorly read/mispronounced by the voice talent in this video.

He was the voice for goofy grape in funny face commercials

The man was a genius voice actor...and this piece has one the WORST voice overs ever!

A couple of tips. Try to check you pronunciation of people and company names (for instance, in Rankin Bass, bass is prounounced like the fish) and try to vary your pitch and phrasing to sound more natural, it's a bit stiff. Record yourself speaking during a normal conversation and compare it with your reading. It shouldn't sound the same but pretty close.

Oh, that would be PropagandaPedia.

Very good! It's Play MIsty For Me. It's a song. Clint was the DJ.

The bio may have been relatively accurate with research of Paul Frees, however, the narrator is a miserable enunciator - especially considering, he is speaking about one of the greatest voice-actors who ever lived. Great material, but, for crying out loud, it is one thing when you mispronounce people's names; but, get the titles correct: it is "Play MISTY For Me" not "Play Mystery For Me." Missing from the list of credits: Pop'n'Fresh Pillsbury Dough Boy, Boris Badenov of Rocky & Bullwinkle fame, The War of the Worlds (movie), The Time Machine (with Rod Taylor) Beneath the Planet of the Apes, to name a few.

I suspect the narrator is having a problem because he is reading his lines directly from the Paul Frees Wikipedia page. Not kidding, I was reading along with him on Wikipedia as this video played. I'd call this plagiarism if this was a report done for school. In his description he says using information freely found on the internet. There's a difference between using sources for research and quoting those works directly and passing it off as your own work without citing the works. If he stated I'm directly reading from Wikipedia, I wouldn't have a problem. The irony is he states in his description he doesn't want people to re-upload the video or use his voice because he "...created..." this video, while directly plagiarizing from Wikipedia.

@@ohdogwow2 I don't get it; but, then, nowadays, people's values are so different.

My sisters and I grew up on Ludwig VonDrake. We still know all the words to his songs.

He was also the voice of Karr in Kitt verses Karr

The voice of J Beresford Tipton in The Millionaire.

These are very enjoyable to listen to, and Mr. Frees is legendary as a voice actor and that’s what got my interest, but the narrator really should research the pronunciations and a little depth to references to avoid the errors made with this bio.

He also had a short appearance in, "War Of The Worlds". He did two of the Beatles voices in the cartoon series. He was also on a few Spike Jones records. The Clint Eastwood movie is, "Play MISTY For Me"

Paul Frees used the same voice for Snuffy Smith in the "Snuffy Smith and Barney Google" cartoons from 1963. These cartoons are on KZread but unfortunately most of them are posted in blocks of 4. (And the first cartoon in the block has most of the opening cut off, so you don't get to hear all of Paul Frees singing Snuffy Smith's theme song.) kzread.info/dash/bejne/np2CyZOOZ8uno6Q.html

His album, Paul Frees and the Poster People is sheer genius! If you can find one, BUY IT!

Great Vocals, May He R.I.P.

Didn’t realize how accomplished this actor/ voice actor was! MGBY Paul and Thanks for all the Great Entertainment ❤

nice Wikipedia-reading

Frees was brilliant; the perfect example of why NOT to utilize poor readers like the narrator of this clip.

The voice of Collosus.

Rankin Bass - like the fish - bass

No suicide was not the culprit. It was cardiovascular disease, dumb dumb. Why are you producing false information? Are you evil or dumb?

You should do a video on Bill Peet and his leaving Disney to become a children's book writer.

He was the Green Lama

His vocal range was quite impressive which you can see side by side with his exceptional performance of Burgermeister Mesiter Burger and assistance Grimsley in Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. 2:30 Did you just say "Dah-shound?" I believe its pernounced "Doc-sund"XD

Frees would be appalled at the poor reading and the mispronunciations in this video. How ironic. #cringeworthy

Nice video, but you have reverb (echo) in the v/o. A nice music track would have added a nice touch as well.

And did some voice work for “In Cold Blood” and. “Patton”

“Play Mystery for Me”? 😳

Knight Automated Roving Robot

What did his first wife die from?

The narrator literally can't read. Frees deserves better.

It's pretty pathetic that you narrate this videos by reading, DIRECTLY, from the Wikipedia page for Mr. Frees. That's called plagiarism, if you aren't familiar with the term. Try actually writing some original content.

the "A" in bass is short. it's rank & bass (as in the fish), not "base"...

It’s pronounce Ray Mill-and, not Ray Millind.

Sounds like someone is reading . Me the Wikipedia page. Badly. In a big room for the echo effect

Impressionations??

It's Ray Mil-LAND, not Ray MILL-und. It's TIB-ur-on, not ti-BURR-un. Research the pronunciation before you post these videos.

lol, it's not pronounced "warner BROs" It's Warner Brothers. Do you pronounce "street" just as /st/? Also, it's Rankin & Bass (not Rankin and Base), and "vaudeville" only has two syllables: /vaud vil/ (just as the spelling suggests. WTF are "impressionations"? But at least you pronounced "escape" correctly. Do you speak English? Like, at all?
