The man behind the man behind those Iran deal ads (voice in AIPAC commercials also did Obama ads)

The same voice that told you to vote for Barack Obama also told you to oppose his signature foreign policy achievement, the Iran nuclear deal.

That would be Leif Anders, a voice actor based in Austin, Texas. Anders was hired to do voice overs for some of Obama’s election ads and, more recently, was the voice in this summer’s ubiquitous anti-Iran deal spots paid for by the AIPAC-backed Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran. On Thursday, the Senate rejected a a third attempt to dismantle the nuclear deal — which should leave the deal to take effect as Sept. 17 is the deadline for the congressional review period, by law.

Anders has done voice overs for dozens of political campaigns and commercials over the years, including an ad urging Congress to balance the budget and a spot warning of the health dangers of fracking. He’s also done commercials for the 2014 Toyota Corolla, One A Day multivitamins, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store and other brands.

Anders declined to be interviewed — as anonymity appears to be an important part of the voice acting profession.

Austin may be IN Texas but it's not OF Texas. True Texans despise everything it stands for: unhinged hippies, dope, anti-God New Age cultists, diversity, Willie Nelson, leftist education, taxes, DemonKKKrats...

“Austin may be IN Texas but it’s not OF Texas. True Texans despise everything it stands for: unhinged hippies, dope, anti-God New Age cultists, diversity, Willie Nelson, leftist education, taxes, DemonKKKrats... “

You need to change the lyrics of the theme song in “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” replacing the town where the Chicken Ranch was located to Austin! (or maybe Waco) Everyone crows about Boner (and he’s truly bad) but Strauss is three times worse.
