It was a dream, he made it happen. Dan McKeague entered AFLAC’s contest to find a new voice, after Gilbert Gottfried (the original duck voice) was fired for making ridonkulous jokes about the tsunami in Japan on his Twitter account. Gottfried’s loss is McKeague’s gain. Below is his audition, and under that, the video they took when they notified him that he was the winner. (They got all sneaky and said they had a few things to figure out first…)
Here’s how they told him…
And why not – here’s one other pretty good audition that was submitted… I think he’s pretty good, but I really love the way the baby laughs in the background through the whole thing.
