“Twisted Sister legend Dee Snider\u2019s booming voiceover career<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n If the narrator of popular rock docuseries<\/a> \u201cBreaking the Band\u201d sounds familiar, that\u2019s because it\u2019s former Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider \u2014 who\u2019s parlayed his hard-rockin\u2019 raspy pipes into a successful voiceover career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m blessed with a voice that people like hearing,\u201d says Snider, 65, on the phone from Belize, where he and his wife own a home. \u201cIt\u2019s my cadence, or whatever. Many times I\u2019m in a store and someone will come around the aisle and say, \u2018I knew it was you!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cMy [voiceover] agent, Lisa Marber, says \u2018You\u2019ve got that cigarette smoker\/whiskey-drinker voice.\u2019 I never smoke or drink,\u201d he says, laughing. \u201cScreaming all those years and torturing my vocal cords [with Twisted Sister] has given me that rasp, that husky voice, that people want for certain voiceovers.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s on full display in \u201cBreaking the Band,\u201d which airs on Reelz and chronicles the breakups of A-list bands (including The Clash, Led Zeppelin, Motley Crue, KISS and Fleetwood Mac) amidst the rock \u2018n\u2019 roll tropes: worldwide fame, rampant drug use, sex, paranoia and recrimination \u2014 until, at the end, band members are barely speaking to each other.<\/p>\n

Snider\u2019s voiceover days date back to his first spot for the New York Lottery\u2019s Quick Draw game<\/a> in 1995. \u201cIt was a time when my career was not going well. I was broke,\u201d says Snider, whose app<\/a>earances on Howard Stern\u2019s radio show (then on K-Rock) ignited the voiceover spark. \u201cTwisted Sister had been over for a number of years and then grunge hit. As a performer I was looking for some other work and started to audition [for voiceovers]. That New York Lottery spot brought in tens of thousands of dollars for a regional ad and I was like, \u2018Holy s\u2013t! This is an amazing gig! And it\u2019s been a consistent ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n

That led to a new career \u2014 he was the voice of MSNBC for a time in 2003 \u2014 which Snider balances with his other pursuits (hosting radio shows, acting, directing, writing screenplays and, just now, writing his first fiction novel). His son, onetime MTV2 Rock host Jesse Snider, followed in his father\u2019s voiceover footsteps and was heard on commercials for Cheetos, GameStop and Kia, to name just a few.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not gonna pull that model bulls\u2013t with you, like \u2018Holding the pose is real hard,’\u201d Snider says about his voiceover work. \u201cNo. It\u2019s easy. It\u2019s the greatest gig in the world. No complaints here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snider, 65, has narrated \u201cBreaking the Band\u201d since its 2018 premiere; starting June 8, he can be heard in all his whiskey-voiced glory when Reelz will air four back-to-back episodes every Monday starting at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

He says his days with \u201980s hair band Twister Sister \u2014 famous for teen anthems \u201cWe\u2019re Not Gonna Take It\u201d and \u201cI Wanna Rock\u201d \u2014 helped him land his narrating gig.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the authenticity of having an actual rocker reading the copy, someone who really gets it, even though I\u2019m learning something on every episode,\u201d he says. \u201cThe company that produces the show is out of England and they wanted an American voice, someone who could also insert American colloquialisms. I guess I was the right guy for the job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snider says \u201cthere are differences\u201d in hearing about each band\u2019s breakup despite the familiar overindulgences, etc. \u201cThe wretched excess of Fleetwood Mac, sending a plane to get pizza from another town while recording an album \u2026 this is how stupid, and I include myself in there, that we get,\u201d he says. \u201cBut there are enough differences [in the bands\u2019 stories] that keep it interesting and keep the audience intrigued.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, Snider says, a future \u201cBreaking the Band\u201d episode will \u2026 wait for it \u2026 chronicle the demise of Twisted Sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m gonna be reading copy about me breaking up my own band,\u201d he says. \u201cThis is like \u2026 going back in time and seeing yourself in the past. I said to them, \u2018Can I make comments while reading the copy?\u2019 and they said, \u2018You can try.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I think you\u2019re going to hear me going, \u2018Wait a minute \u2026\u2019 and them cutting away from me.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
