The Man Behind the Voice: Sam Elliott and His Life in Hollywood

The Evolution of His Voice

It only makes sense that Sam’s deep and resounding baritone voice got him many voiceover and narration gigs. His current co-star Ashton Kutcher from the show, The Ranch, says that as far he is concerned, Sam ought to narrate everything. However, it took time for his voice to be as deep as it is now. In his earlier roles, it was evident that Elliott’s voice wasn’t as significant as it is today.

When he was asked about his voice, Sam said, “It came with age. It just kept going down the older I got.” Elliott has done voice-over narration for a bunch of commercials, including Dodge, IBM, Kinney Drugs, Union Pacific, and the American Beef Council. Since 2007, Elliott did voice-overs for Coors beer, bringing his voice and Western appeal to the brand.
