Martin Savasta, Professional Audio-Video Producer, Select Sound Systems: "ONE TAKE. Down at the studio, we call him Dennis 'One Take' O'Boyle. I've never seen anyone like him before. He read a very difficult script for five solid minutes for the marketing of a high-tech product and did it all flawlessly, in one take. Words I couldn't even pronounce in a million years just rolled off his lips like hot melted butter on an ear of roasted corn on the cob. He was amazing, reading that script with passion, with sincerity, with glory, 'The new VCS Switch features patented neodymium magnet technology specially formed with vacuum encapsulated cycloaliphatic epoxy resin.' One take! Smooth, professional, surreal -- unreal. Then I found out he drives a '55 Chevy with a big block engine in it! Awesome!"
Jim Ventura, Sportscaster, Kenosha Local Cable Access TV: "O'Boyle has a great set of pipes!"

Carl Schrank, Professor, Marquette University and former president of the Milwaukee Advertising Club: "Dennis very definitely has a very strong 'radio' voice. It's unfortunate that I cannot give him a grade any higher than an A+."
Coach Hugh Roberts (Wisconsin Coaches Hall of Fame): "This guy is THE BEST. There is no one like him anywhere."

Dave Von Rueden, Athletic Director and Coach, Brookfield Academy: "Awesome! Definitely the best ever seen -- or heard!"
Jim Smith, Assistant Coach, Brookfield Academy (Jacksonville and Wisconsin Badgers Basketball starter 1974-77): "Beyond words."
Kris Mills, Madison Area Technical College: "We heard Dennis announce the AAU tournament and decided to bring him in for our games, too!"
Steve Johnson, Athletic Director, Riverside University High School/Milwaukee Public Schools: "He does such a great job announcing! He covered all of our Boys and Girls home games and even the Freshman and JV coaches wanted him to announce their games, too."
Miss Melonie Winter, Teacher, Heritage Christian High School: "I was there when he was the Master of Ceremonies for the Annual Silent Auction and Banquet. I simply must say, he has an amazing voice, and I thank him for providing his services."
Man from Clinton, Wisconsin in attendance at a Wisconsin State Regional Playoff game: "When I heard your voice come on the P.A., I looked around and said to my wife, 'It's the voice of God!'"
Cheerleading advisor from Schaumburg Christian School, Schaumburg, IL: "He drove down here early in the morning then announced for us all day, eight games, for free. He introduced the teams so dramatically, everyone played better and 'The VOICE' made the games more exciting, it was so much fun just to sit there and listen to the announcing. During halftime as he saw the cheerleaders preparing to come out for our routine, he made up a quick but professional intro for us. We couldn't thank him enough and he wouldn't accept any pay. But I was able to give him a candy bar."
Jim Toth, Director, State of Illinois Christian High Schools Basketball Tournament: "We like him so much, he has a job for life. I also use him to announce our annual Classic tournament as well."
Judy Miramontes, Co-Director, Wisconsin AAU, Boys Basketball Tournaments: "His announcing just adds SO much to our games, it takes them to a higher level."

Johnny Winston Jr., Referee, WIAA and Wisconsin Technical College Conference: "BEFORE the game, I had never met Dennis so I somewhat sarcastically said, 'An announcer? Are you any good?'
"AFTER the game, I had to eat some crow but said, 'Man, YOU are the GREATEST! I'm sorry for being skeptical earlier. Can I use you to M.C. a block party I'm having later this Summer!?!"
Dr. Clyde R. Anderson, Ph.D., former Illinois football star, "...professional announcer, Dennis J. O'Boyle, worked for me as a technical writer at Abbott Laboratories. Dennis was able to utilize his very distinguished announcing talents during two notable softball games held at Abbott Park. I was not able to attend the games. However, I can say that every manager, including our director, had comments to say about Dennis O'Boyle's skill at making the games very interesting. This was also echoed from all of my staff attending the games as well. The interesting thing is the wealth of knowledge that Dennis had at hand to fill in the idle time within the games. This is a gift. Dennis has this gift. It is not learnable. If you ever have an opportunity to get Dennis to announce for you, you will understand that this is Dennis' calling."

Ron Kramer, Fan of Grace Christian Academy: "I've heard a lot of announcers in my life, and you are better than all of them. You should be in the pro's. I only come to these games to hear you announce."
