Minute hands & microphones

I bought a new microphone today.
I didn't buy it because it's
the Larry King desktop style, but that didn't hurt, either.
(Cue the suspenders & six wives.)

Will start recording the audio book on Wednesday.

*** Pop Quiz! ***
Circle True or False:
I was once the voice of the Kodak voice response unit.

"Welcome to InfoExpress... a Kodak system
that delivers information on Kodak products and services.
If this is your first visit, and you'd like an index, press 1.
If you know the document you desire, press 2."


If you circled True, 5 points!

I promise to save/include the outtakes!
"Julian pursed his... dang! HER..."
"Julian pressed up against the Washington monu... shoot!"
"Julian pressed up against the washing machine. The spin cycle always summoned..."

...and so it goes.

So now you have to offer a special version of your book.

"My Quirks and My Compass Extreme Quirky Edition with Bonus Outakes DVD"

You should at least put it up on Youtube...

I'm sitting here cracking up! Good luck with the recording!
Swatting bees? ya .... that's what it looks like...lol.

Ha ha...great photo...I think a bee got you! Have fun recording...I am so curious to hear what your voice sounds like. Will it suit your face or will I be shocked like I was the first time I heard Mike Tyson speak...I was expecting a Muhammed Ali manly voice and I got a Tito Jackson....the shock of it all..I still can't reconcile the voice to the manly boxer with all the muscles and tattoos...I'm thinking that's why he had to learn to fight..cause he would have been teased miserably!

No kidding, the Kodak voice...Personally, I agree, the outtakes would be hilarious!

Let's hope you get as much mileage out of that microphone as he did.. and less wives.
