Thanks, Cheif!
Master Cheif is undoubtedly one of the most iconic and recognizable video game characters in history. However, what makes this walking suit of armor so distinguishable from the rest is its deep and growling voice. This voice is done by none other than Steve Downes. Much like the guy who used to say “EA Sports, it’s in the game” Downes is responsible for some of the most quotable one-liners of all time. Thanks to Downes’s memorizing voice, the long time voice actor has lent his talents to the app Cameo. Cameo is an app that allows regular people to get a famous person of their choosing to say whatever they want. This service, of course, costs money. It is essentially a side gig for celebrities.
In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, Downes has pledged to donate all of the money generated on Cameo toward Project C.U.R.E. This organization is usually dedicated to helping bolster the struggling or sometimes non-existent health care systems of countries with little infrastructure. However, the company has now shifted its focus on making sure underprepared communities in the United States have access to things like gloves and face masks. You can hire Downes to make a personalized message for you or a loved one for $67.
The price tag might be a little steep, but he is the Master Cheif after all. He can’t be wasting his time making special videoes for any shmuck with 5 dollars to spare. If it helps at all, it is going to a good cause. The United States has now become the epicenter of the COVID-19 virus and things are beginning to look dire. If the $67 price tag is a little too much, then any kind of donation could help.
Stay safe
