LAS VEGAS, NV—Gigolos star Nick Hawk got a chance to display his comedic side in a "voice-off" with famous UFC announcer Bruce Buffer on his popular podcast, “It’s Time,” with great, comedic results.
Visiting Los Angeles for a media tour to promote his new single, “I Can Take a Punch,” Hawk told Buffer how he enjoys practicing vocal techniques and doing voice imitations, but had not quite mastered the art of the voice announcer, and asked if he could get a lesson from the master. The gracious Buffer complied and gave Hawk some sage advice on word annunciation, as well as tricks for prepping and opening his voice to find his own "voice."
“I set my own goal. I’ve never rehearsed; it’s called 'working live',” said Buffer. “Take the qualities of other announcers and develop your own style.”
“It was such a special moment for me, getting announced by and getting schooled in fight announcing by the one and only Bruce Buffer, since I pride myself as being a vocal connoisseur,” stated Hawk. “It was some of the best advice you could give someone and it applies to many aspects of one's life.”
Hawk is a Robert Drysdale Black Belt and recently won the IBJJF Pan Championship. Hawk's music video, “I Can Take a Punch,” features shots of him at Robert Drysdale’s jiu-jitsu academy, showcasing an array of vicious takedowns and submissions on two of his teammates.
