Hmm. Blaine sounds familiar. Was it on radio or TV? Was it State Farm Auto Insurance, Bud Light, TJ Maxx, or the Auto Club? Or was it any of hundreds of commercials he’s written and voiced for markets from LA to NYC. (More on the latter at www.shortfatadvertising.com.) With a lifetime around show biz, Blaine Parker is, at heart, a true radio ad geek. Much to his parents’ chagrin, he counts Dick Orkin, Dan O’Day and The Firesign Theater among his formative influences. For more than a decade, he’s spent most days toiling away in a small room with a Neumann, an Aphex, and a big honkin’ work station. He occasionally comes out to check the meat in the smoker and feed his wife’s 19-year old cat. A national award-winner in both Voiceover and Copywriting, the tin cluttering Blaine’s shelf includes Radio Mercury, Mobius, Silver Mic, Tesla, ADDY and SCBA. A chronic writer, Blaine is also the author of two books on radio advertising, and a collaborator on several screenplays circling various levels of development hell. Blaine lives in Los Angeles with his writer/director wife, Honey. They’ve also begun construction on a mountain-top media retreat outside Park City, UT. Blaine was raised by wolves in Greenwich, Connecticut. This may account for the urbane yet snarky sound. It’s in the breeding. Or maybe the water. Perhaps both. |
