My good freind Rose just shared this with me on facebook...

 

Dan Gilvezan the voice of G1 Bumble has put out a new book called "Bumblebee & Me: Life as a G1 Transformer"

 

The book is the story of his G1 days

 

Here is more

 

In the spring of 1984 Dan Gilvezan walked into an audition for a half-hour animated TV series and walked out an hour later with a role in a show that would change the landscape of television in the late ’80s: A show called The Transformers. As the voice of Bumblebee, the little yellow Volkswagen, Gilvezan was there from the very start, witness to the birth of an entertainment industry phenomenon that continues to surprise and delight audiences to this very day. Bumblebee & Me takes you behind the scenes of the original Transformers television series for a first-hand look at the making of a classic. Experience the controlled chaos of the recording sessions, learn the secrets behind creating a character voice, get to know the members of the cast up close and personal. Chock full of stories, reminiscences, anecdotes and never-before-published photographs, Bumblebee & Me is sure to satisfy even the most knowledgeable and discerning Transformers fan. Includes cast list and complete G1 episode guide.

 

My friend Rose did the cover work for the book she also can be seen in the club magazine doing the Screamer Retro-views articles

Randall NG and DR Smoov made a new video to advertise the book and have Dan voicing Bumble Bee again after all these years

He didn't really sound like his old voice to me like how Peter can still do Prime's voice. I saw the end it said Dan as Bumblebee but just didn't sound like him.

Well Frank Welker no longer sounds like G1 Megatron anymore

Yeah Peter has lost that "John Wayne" factor that he had in Primes voice

 

As for Dan I thought he was spot on

A lot of people's voices change!! Look at James Hetfileld, no way does he sound like he did back in the day!!!

 

But that was awesome hearing good ol Bumblebee again!!!!

 

The cover is ok, but what's with the lame generic robots in the background??? Perhaps the Autobot and Fecepticon symbols would have been more appropriate than 50's robots!!!
