Pittsburghers
who listen to the "soft-rock and yesterday's favorites" FM station Wish
99.7 should immediately recognize the name of Dan Dunlap, an on-air voice
personality for more than two decades. Dan's deep, rich and soothing voice not
only is broadcast on weekdays from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., but also is heard in
countless voice-overs on television, radio, web, commercials and corporate
presentations. He also makes numerous public appearances on behalf of the
station.
Visit his official WSHH
profile and his independent Dunlap Productions webpage
to hear examples of the range of his voice characters, which he describes as
"from evil to evangelical... the 'guy next door' to Don LaFontaine-esque
(the movie trailer guy) to Ernie Anderson."
A resident of the
Pittsburgh suburb of Beaver County, PA, Dan is the great-grandson of Ellsworth
O. and Minerva (Minard) Mayle of Garrett County, MD. He and his wife
Sue have a deep interest in their respective family roots. Their son Dan "Danny" Dunlap Jr. is a musical composer
in Los Angeles whose creations were featured in no less than three Super
Bowl television commercials this year featuring Bridgestone tires, Career
Builder and Hyundai.
The founder of this
website first met Dan in 1994 at a charitable event benefitting Guild for the
Blind, at Seven Springs Mountain Ski Resort in Somerset County, PA, but did not
then know of the family connection.
