Surfer Dude comes up in 3 chapters across 3 episodes of The No Agenda Show, from March 2012 to March 2013.
A discussion on the structure and timing of Public Service Announcements (PSAs) leads to a reading of a National Institute of Health script regarding underage drinking. The host utilizes a "surfer dude" voice to perform the script, suggesting that such character voices could be used for future No Agenda promotional spots or professional voiceover work.
Hyundai Voiceover Audition, Toyota Surfer Voice Commercials
A recent audition for a Hyundai commercial using a "surfer dude" vocal style resulted in no callback, despite positive feedback from family. Similar vocal styles have appeared in recent Toyota "Number One for Everyone" sales event advertisements, suggesting a trend in automotive marketing toward casual, non-authoritative voiceovers.
Adam Curry performs several takes for a Hyundai commercial audition, attempting to meet the "trustworthy everyman" and "urgent" specifications. John Dvorak provides direction, encouraging Curry to use his "surfer dude" and "Pee-wee Herman" voices to make the dry copy more engaging.
