On the air
Chalk up another thing that I done did, as I recorded a cameo part for Prometheus Radio Theatre last night. I went from prancing clown on stage to evil, menacing, hick-accented rapist in front of a mic in 24 hours; I think that's that "range" thing. (And right afterwards I ran the Green Party's Steering Committee conference call! And didn't get 'em mixed up once! I'm awfully proud of myself!)
cnvarbiter described me as sounding like "Bill Clinton on quaaludes", which I guess was a good thing; he and his friend and co-director Eli were doing that sort of cringey, ooky shiver thing when listening to the playback of my attempt to channel Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in the West. The menacee (now there's a new word for you) was my friend Beatrice, whom I hadn't seen since high school. I said hi and walked right past her as she came in...then there was this grinding sound, and smoke issued from my ears as I tried to place where I'd seen that face before. I had to retreat and restart the conversation; jeez, that was embarrassing!
Starting to get that podcasting itch again. I'll never be up to the level of prometheusrt, but that talk show idea is still hanging around in the back of my mind, and I still have some of the samples. It'd still be 90% me-on-the-hoof, but I'm really not good enough to carry the show alone.
