Another vote for Negativland's "Jolly Green Giant", which takes this clip and makes it sound almost eerie by superimposing it over ominous sounding music. I sympathise with Orson, but I guess he took the job so he should have done it to the best of his abilities. "This is a lot of shit, you know that?" lol:-)

Oh I know that The Brain was based on Orson Welles. The conversation was used in a skit in "Pinky and the Brain", which they edited or replaced the profane words.

The character of The Brain was based on Orson Welles.

He said "Yes" like the Brain.

And I noticed negatives under my original comment.Well, people should understand that voice over is a competitive business with lots of extraordinary talent and little work to go around.Unless you earned a particular celebrity status that makes your talents particularly valuable (and even then, a bad attitude can earn you a bad stigma that may make people think twice about hiring you again), you can expect never to work in the field again if you ever act like Mr. Welles did in this session.

"He was one of the formative forces behind radio and film." I'd say that earns him a celebrity status.As for unprofessional, that's exactly what I'm calling it, despite his achievements. You're supposed to do the best you can with the material you've got. If there are problems, you should find ways to constructively improve it.Going off the handle and walking out of a recording session without good reason is unprofessional, plain and simple, as it wastes your client's time and money.
