Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.
I’ll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.
Right now? I’m a 6’2" pasty white guy in Asia (or Casper per my favourite overheard discussion).
Nice try, NSA.
I have red curly hair and I tend to wear big hats and sunglasses in the summer, and I find that makes people (read: men) stare at me. Idk.
I’m also fanatically polite and nice in person, and people respond a lot. Bad manners is my pet peeve.
I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt that’s a good thing, as all it’s done is get me in trouble.
Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. “Start a podcast!” they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.
Are you vegan?
This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don’t know how much they pay.
Yes, me too! The justice part. I am very principled. And it is something that I, sometimes (?) hate about myself. I think it mostly drives people away.
I figure many people on Lemmy are the same in that regard, very principled people.
You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.
You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.
Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.
I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.
One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
Shit, that’s an impressive deadlift
i just let out a giant fart
Get close enough to me in a very quiet area, specifically close to my heart, and you will hear ticking noises. Freaked out my older brother once because of that scenario. Mechanical heart valve.
Ohhhhhh that would freak me out.
What makes you stand out?
Standing up
From my immediate environment? I sit on the toilet, the toilet does not sit on me.
Also I wip with the TP The TP doesn’t wipe with me

Bidets make me hard… I should get a Bidet
the bidet temporarily connects my butthole
with a near infinite series of tubes
containing pure water and in that moment
I am the clean water and the clean water is me
That’s some wild poetry there.
For now

I was once not spotted whilst wearing a bright fluorescent orange cycling rain jacket and standing 6’5" tall in an office of suits.
