dude...go into radio.

You totally have the voice for it.

Heh, thanks. I've been told that by a few people, but I wouldn't know where to begin.

Getting into radio...

Is there a large hospital in your area? Try volunteering at their radio station.

Hospital radio is a good starting point with a guaranteed audience, and they always want people especially for the more unsociable hours.

Also do you have a university / college nearby - you can probably get a taster course in presenting a small (simple) show there, either free or at minimal cost.

You do have a very melodic voice, and a pleasant aural demeanour (so you talking feels like a conversation even though it's really not).

If you want to I suggest you get invested in radio,because even if it's only ever a hobby, it's another string to your bo (so to speak)

I've been thinking about taking some of the same voice classes my dad took when he started doing voice work. They're at night, so they'd fit my schedule well enough. It won't be in the near future, though, because I don't really have money for it just yet. I love the idea of doing voice work, but there's a lot more to being in radio than talking, and I'm not sure I'm really cut out for that kind of quick-thinking work.

I like the idea but I'm going to forgo the meme

I'm too paranoid that the phrases could be used to create a universal aural key - like a voiceprint for all intents and purposes.

It was nice hearing you though.

I can give written answers if you are interested in transatlantic phrase differences?

You could always friend-lock your post like Trillian did, and then delete whatever you post after a day or two. The chances of anyone wanting to make a voiceprint of your voice are pretty slim, unless you're a secret government agent with high-level clearance. :D
