I always assumed that voice was one of those fake UI they do in the movies, in the movie "You've got mail".

Only made $200 for his voice recordings.

That sucks, but he's also now immortal.

Is he, though? When was the last time you heard that sound?

You’ll hear it every time you watch one of his movies. He has four movie credits, and some TV, most as “You’ve Got Mail voice”. And he has his own IMDB page. That’s probably more immortal than I’m going to be.

About 30 minutes ago, it has been my Gmail notification sound for a few years :)
