LAS VEGAS — Star of Showtime’s “Gigolos” Nick Hawk participated in a face-off, voice-off with world-famous UFC announcer, Bruce Buffer on his podcast, “It’s Time.”
“It was such a special moment for me, getting announced by and getting schooled in fight announcing by, the one and only, Bruce Buffer, since I pride myself as being a vocal connoisseur,” Hawk said. “It was some of the best advice you could give someone and it applies to many aspects of one's life.”
Hawk is visiting L.A. as part of a media tour to promote his new single, “I Can Take a Punch.” Hawk was a guest on “It’s Time,” and told Buffer how he enjoys practicing vocal techniques and doing voice imitations, but had not quite mastered the art of the voice announcer. He asked if Buffer could give him a few tips.
Buffer, then, gave Hawk some sage advice on word annunciation, tricks for prepping, "opening your voice and finding your unique talent."
“I set my own goal, I’ve never rehearsed, it’s call working live,” Buffer enthused. “Take the qualities of other announcers and develop your own style.”
