INSTRUCTOR BIO
Scott Rummell
Native Los Angeleno, Scott Rummell, caught the vision of using his voice in the media while listening to his father, former LA City Fire Chief, Gary Rummell, who just happened to have a beautiful baritone voice. "For a couple of years, when I was very impressionable, my dad was the spokesman for the fire department, so it wasn't uncommon to see him on TV or hear his voice on the radio," Scott recalls.
Back then, Scott loved to play with tape recorders, making radio shows, cartoon voices and prank phone calls. After high school he toured all over the world with the Continental Singers. Then at age 20 he got a job as an account executive at an Orange County radio station and began voicing spots for his clients. He soon began a voiceover workshop and private study with his mentor, Daws Butler, the voice of many well-known cartoon characters (Yogi Bear, Snagglepuss, Elroy Jetson, Captain Crunch and many others).
In the mid 1980s, Rummell signed with his first agent and for ten years he enjoyed a successful commercial career before landing his first movie trailer.
Now he is heard daily on ABC, CBS, CNN, The CW, Showtime and Fox, and has been heard on thousands of movie trailers and blockbuster film campaigns over the years.
Rummell is represented by Solid Talent, DPN and Helzner Management. He is also a member of the Don LaFontaine Voiceover Lab Advisory Board.
