Doug Jeffers The Voice Man

Born in Denver, Colorado on April 15, 1942, Douglas grew up in Glenwood Springs, CO and on his grandparents’ cherry farm, Eames Orchards, in Rifle, CO.  He graduated from Glenwood Springs High School, University of Colorado Boulder and the esteemed American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He spent many years in Katonah, NY and Boulder County, CO before retiring to Nevada.

A life-long radio enthusiast, Douglas enjoyed bringing classical and easy listening music to the airwaves as a disc jockey, most notably at WTFM New York. His rich, classic ‘announcer voice’ was then heard for decades on television and radio during his reknowned career as a voice actor. He earned his greatest professional acclaim as “the Miller Man”,  representing Miller High Life. Other memorable campaigns include promos on NBC and CBS, commercials for Diet Coke (his beverage of choice!), Country Crock and many more, as well as TV specials on VH-1 and the Major League Baseball channel. In his later years he was known as the voice of notable conservative political campaigns.

“A quirky man with a beautifully creative spirit and brilliant mind. His convictions were strong, his knowledge vast and his heart tender. He was known for his impeccable grammar, memory of idioms and quotes, and his penchant for making up songs, including family favorite, “Tiny Little Fairy in My Pocket”. He was an outstanding whistler and a gifted storyteller. He was skilled at chess, basketball (all-state in high school), singing, and he was fluent in German. Other hobbies included reading, genealogy and nature walking (he walked his “daily dimes”- two ten-minute walks daily). Douglas was a lover and protector of animals, most memorably of eight poodles and a Jack Russell terrier.
