Baby Got Range?

They sent me a rough cut of my commercial demo as I was riding home from the airport. The promptness of these people!

I do not like to gamble. You lose, you’re upset. You win, you’re upset because you wonder if you could have won more. I think I won, by getting a great director and producer. But I wonder if I could have won more by making them listen to my entire range, as crazy as I could get it, before bringing it down. Then they wouldn’t settle if I weren’t doing my best.

But it’s always something. Humans remember the bad as a way to survive, but I think that skill is vestigial. For every regret that I have, I will practice thinking of an anti-regret. Like I really like how my cosmetic voice sounds.

What is an anti-regret? A terger? A glad? A whew? A relief, maybe?

 

NO REGURTS!

MANY TERGERS!

But It Was a Dry Heat.

Back from Burbank, nice and sunburned. I recorded my commercial and animation/video game demos with Kathryn at Voicecaster, who is amazing, and also right down the street from Chili John’s, who is also amazing.

 

Things I learned that day:

-cosmetic spots are SUPER fun.

-chili is NOT supposed to have beans.

 

Discussion Question:

Which new fact will I bring up often in mansplaining style when people try to feed me beans?
