The New AFLAC Duck Voice Is!!!!

After one is the most sought after position was opened. Let the Quacking begin!

The auditions were conducted almost entirely online and advertised widely on Aflac’s social media channels — a smart move, given that much of the negative reaction to Gottfried’s misfires was centered on those channels. Ninety percent of the 12,500 entrants submitted recordings of their voices via an online entry form. The remaining 10% showed up at live auditions in six major U.S. cities.

And the winner is! Daniel McKeague, a sales manager from Minneapolis for AFLAC. The first commercial with McKeague’s voice will air during NBC’s The Voice at 9 p.m.
