Daws Butler was the Master of Voice. He spoke the words for most of
the classic Hanna-Barbera characters: Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound,
Quickdraw McGraw, Elroy Jetson, and a hundred others. He also
originated the vocal character of Cap'n Crunch and other famous Jay
Ward cartoon characters. His significant work with Stan Freberg in
the 1950s on The Stan Freberg Show and multi-million-selling
records such as St. George and the Dragonet are still held in
reverence today. He also ran a voice acting workshop for years.This
is his book of scenes, exercises and advice for voice actors,
written for those who are now tops in the profession. Among his
many successful students are Nancy Cartwright (voice of Bart
Simpson), and Corey Burton (from Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind to
Disney's Treasure Planet), who wrote the Foreword.For the first
time in print, finally a book for voice professionals by the top
man himself
A seal who can't balance? An elephant who always forgets? A green
cow who walks on her front feet? These are just some of the wacky
characters from the unique mind of Daws Butler, the man who voiced
most of the classic Hanna-Barbera characters--Yogi Bear,
Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and Snagglepuss, to name a
few. Uncle Dunkle and Donnie is a collection of imaginative,
never-before-released cartoon scripts by Butler, who also worked on
the classic 1960s Jay Ward "Fractured Fairy Tales" and "Aesop and
Sons" animated cartoons. The book was edited, co-written and
illustrated (in retro Hanna-Barbera style) by Butler protg Joe
Bevilacqua, who has also recorded an audio "cartoon" book of UNCLE
DUNKLE AND DONNIE, doing all the voices himself! What the animation
industry is saying about UNCLE DUNKLE AND DONNIE: "It all started
with Daws Butler--actor, writer, teacher--writing UNCLE DUNKLE AND
DONNIE children's stories with exquisite sophisticated humor but
always resonating with gentle and subtle lessons in morality. Then
came Joe Bevilacqua--also actor, writer and producer--vocally
bringing to life all of the charming characters in the Daws Butler
book. Reading and listening to UNCLE DUNKLE AND DONNIE is a
delightful experience that you and your family can and will enjoy!"
- June Foray, legendary voice actress (Rocky the Flying Squirrel,
Witch Hazel, Granny) "Any cartoon fan can recognize Daws Butler's
multitude of voices, but few know of his writing. Butler, a
purveyor of witty wordplay and twisty tales, will surprise and
amuse readers. These stories now come to life as told by the
hilarious Joe Bevilacqua, man of 97 voices!" - Linda Simensky
(Senior Director of Programming for PBS Kids)
