Voiceover Talent
A voiceover actor, as the term implies, provides their voice to a production but is usually not seen in it. However, in addition to an on screen presence, many performers also contribute their voices. Examples of this latter would be doing a narrative for a documentary, commercials for radio and television, dubbing, looping dialog (or ADR as it is also known as) and voices for animated characters. Some actors are very talented and can mimic accents such as Jim Doohan, aka Scotty. Presented here are the voices of aliens, animals and those heard over ships speakers, communicators and the like. Click on the images below to hear examples of their work. Some images do not contain audio as it was not pertinent.

Johnson's claim to fame will always be most remembered as the control voice heard in the television series Mission: Impossible. His contributions to Star Trek included the thoughts of a Talosion and the voice for the transporter chief in The Cage and The Menagerie. With respect to the latter, Clegg Hoyt who played the transporter chief had his lines dubbed in by Johnson. This was most likely because of a technicality and Hoyt was unavailable for looping his dialog.* Johnson was also a ground control voice in Assignment:Earth, the voice from Star fleet Command in The Immunity Syndrome, and provider #1 in
