Many may recognize the voice of the actor in Mazda’s Driving Matters commercials, but be surprised to find out who it is.
Who Does the Voice Over in the Mazda Commercials
Not long ago, Mazda launched the Driving Matters advertising campaign, which features a number of TV commercials that highlight Mazda’s 2016 models. These commercials are some of the best we’ve seen from Mazda, doing well to portray the visceral side of Mazda driving. You’ve likely seen some of these commercials online or on TV, and if you have, there’s a good chance you’ve recognized the voice of the actor doing the commercial voice over. So, who does the voice over in the Mazda commercials?
The actor doing the voice over work for the Driving Matters Mazda commercials is none other than Aaron Paul, well known for his work in the TV series Breaking Bad, as well as movies like Need for Speed. Don’t believe us? Just take another listen to the videos below, and you’ll see, it is in fact Aaron Paul.
If you’re surprised, you’re not the only one. The quality of his voice over work is impressive in the way it is able to perfectly capture such a wide range of emotions. Aaron Paul is able to expertly adjust the inflection in his voice to accurately reflect each emotion a Mazda driver experiences. The Miata in particular is well known for its driving purity, incorporating the philosophy of “Jinba Ittai.” Learn more about the meaning of Jinba Ittai
We understand these emotions because we’ve been behind the wheel of a Mazda, but if you haven’t, let us help. Now that you know who does the voice over in the Mazda commercials, it’s time to schedule a test drive through our website or give us a call at 973-594-1700 to experience Mazda driving for yourself. The first drive in a Mazda is one that cannot be forgotten.
Even an official Mazda shill cant justify this annoying ad campaign. Every one of these spots ranks at the tippity-top of the bad ad pyramid. I sprint for the remote to mute or change the channel every time I hear that smarmy, cloying voice spewing out hack poetry like it’s something profound. Makes me want to trade in my Mazda for a K-car.
I agree with you Katelyn! I detest these ads also! and reach for the mute as well! Also ever really look at that ‘little girl’ in the back seat? She looks OLDER than her mom, sort of like a mini-grandma!
One of the most condescending sounding ads ever. horrid! Who is this intended to appeal to? Mid life crisis men? Cant believe it is attracting buyers
Annoying and Ridiculous!
Enjoyed Paul in BB, but these ads make me want to hammer a butter knife into my ear canal.
Voilàqui est fait pour Jo !En 3 sets, et avec avec la manière, devant un Hewitt prêt àsauter sur la moindre baisse de régime.Le didi a l&172#8;air OP.Prochain tour : peut-être ERV, qui sert pour mener 5/3 5e set…
I guess I’m the dissenting voice. I LOVE the Mazda commercials and feel that they do an excellent job of expressing why Mazdas are different than Camrys and K-Cars. I came here because I wanted to know who was doing such an impressive job. I’ve heard of Aaron Paul but have never seen Breaking Bad. He didn’t seem like the type to do this.
I thought I was the only one who detested these commercials until I googled them to find out who was the actor behind the annoying voice. I HATE those commercials so much!!!!
I agree with all negative reactions posted. WHO approved these ads? The most annoying, condescending voice ever. Sounds like he’s speaking to a 3yr-old. How could ad-execs not realize? I wouldn’t even consider a Mazda as a result.
Hate these ads and the condescending and arrogant voiceover. Mazda and Chevy ads are the worst.
I too googled this topic because I despise these commercials.. when I hear the voice on the t.v. I feel anger.. I’m so weirded out by my reaction that I’m relieved to find I’m not alone. I agree with smarmy, condescending, out of touch… like, I want to punch that guy in the face and I’m a really mellow, kind person.. I swear.
The voice, the condescension. Annoying as hell. I never watched BB but the voice sounds familiar from another condescending ad or tv show or PSA that I can’t put my finger on. Which makes it that much worse.
I hate these commercials so much it wouldn’t matter if Mazda made the finest, most economical car in the world, I would rather buy a piece of crap, lemon rather than patronize a company that spews this shit.
Add me to the list of those who dislike that schmaltzy voiceover on the Mazda ads.
I can’t value the opinion of someone who hasn’t seen breaking bad. Honestly
And add me to the list of casualties as the front tyre was flat in the garage this morning. Two thorns revoied.Crackmng ride though, really glad Toby re-introduced me to those bits near the Quarry on Leith Hill.
The fake Japanese accent in the most recent commercial is insulting. Disgusting.
Jeg tager 3 lodder 🙂 Det at blive ældre, er en gave, som vi alle higer efter at fÃ¥. Jeg har mistet for mange omkring mig, der ikke blev sÃ¥ gamle som de burde, sÃ¥ jeg agter at nyde min "gave", som jeg ved de ville have gjort det. Hver en rynke, hvert et grÃ¥t hÃ¥r, hver dag skal nydes. De er alle symboler pÃ¥ den ekstra viden og forstÃ¥else der kommer til mig.
i love aaron paul im shocked because i HATE the tone of these commercials, like were all idiots, anhd the stereotypical japanese accent….. how shamefull,….. anybody who wants quality would end up buying merc or tesla,,,,
While I am sure that the voice actor is very talented and versatile, I mute the creepy, smarmy, awful, oily narration used in these new Mazda ads. Whose idea was it to use that condescending tone for these ads?
I truly hate these Aaron Paul voiceover commercials. So obnoxious and irritating. And such full of you know what. When he says that Mazda thought of all the details”… actually…. no they didn’t. There ARE features missing on the CX9 that were overlooked…. like there aren’t enough front seat adjustments. How can you justify exotic wood and aluminum trim, if you can’t make comfortable enough seats???
