The Letter of Sullivan Ballou is one of the most touching pieces of Americana and voice over work. Through the voice over artist you can feel the courage and selfless patriotism of the author. Sullivan’s deep love for his wife, Sarah, is so profound that the sentiment carries from 1861 to the present day. The actor is Paul Roebling, who was a direct descendent of John Roebling—designer of the Brooklyn Bridge.

If this audio does not evoke a strong visceral reaction, strongly consider the choice of a career in voice overs. Take a listen.
