The trailer voice-over "This summer, blah blah blah" (Don LaFontaine)

You know, this voice that sounds like it's the same guy doing all the trailers. I don't quite know how to describe it, it's a voice-over that's really well stuffed in the lows... that one:

Well, I wonder what is required to recreate this... I've tried compressing the lows, I've tried EQing, but there is without a doubt much more to it. I saw a guy demoing a similar effect with Adobe Audition but he was using DSP stuff I don't have access to.

Do you know of a way to approximate this effect using Pro Tools 8 LE stock plugins?

Cheers,

Justin

PS: I suspect the actor to be playing the greatest role in the success of the operation, the mic to be doing part of the job... how about miking the throat with an SM58? (I'm trying to do away with what I have...)
