|
In addition to being a highly sought after voice talent (tongue firmly planted in cheek) I pen a satirical advice column that runs in newspapers around the country. It has been kind of stagnating lately as I have been focusing more on the voice stuff but I got a few offers over the past week so I might be expanding some more.
Anyway....I thought some of you might get a chuckle out of it.

Erik
I thought your columns were hysterical. Enough of this PC crap, eh? I am trying to think of some witty letter to write, but the good topics have been taken! (i.e., Thong Dad and Lesbian Wedding!)
What's a poor unfunny girl to do? Well, I can live vicariously though your site!
Enjoyed it...Bookmarked it

Thats cool you guys like it. It definitely breaks up the monotony of recording all day when I have no choice but to turn off the gear and pick up a pen. I still deal with a lot of the same BS as voice work being a freelancer but the column is so stupid and fun to do that its worth it.
BTW:
Ice Floe
noun
a flat mass of ice (smaller than an ice field) floating at sea
I heard somewhere that the ancient Eskimos used to stick their old folks on these and push them out to sea. Tough way to go, but I thought it was funny. |

Hey I guess with global warming they will be out of their misery even sooner.
You've got some really funny stuff Eric. It's a good thing I'm not still doing stand up comedy or I would have to steal some of your material.  |

I want to voice the Up All Night chick letter and the Wants It All one too.
We should put this all on a CD and sell it!!!!!
Plus it would give me a chance to work on the subtle differences between my NJ accent and my NY accent. |
