Hey, now you know what a nightmare it must've been for all the computer game actors you've ever grit your teeth to...

Heh - why? Because I used all the sultriest takes that you sent me?

Well, more because the fact that sometimes I can be utterly shy!

You? Shy? *blinks* You were very out going when I met you. Didn't even seem remotely shy... (Or do you mean because of the content of your character's dialogue?)

Patrick watched the episode yesterday knowing that Al had a role in it and oddly, he didn’t have a comment afterwards. So I asked, “Did you recognize any other voices than Al’s?”. He looked at me bewildered and said, “No, was I supposed to?”

*facepalm!!!!!!*

Can you believe Patrick didn’t recognize my voice?? What a turd!

He may be a turd, but he's your turd!

Well if it makes you feel any better, all the lines are read independently... as of the second season. We discovered in the first season, without an actual proper mixer - people's pitches are very different - which made maximizing folks voices difficult - because if someone had a deep voice, and someone had a speaking part that had a soft voice - raising the soft voice to be louder (to be equal to the louder pitch) - distorted the voice quality. So having each person record their own lines independently allows me to maximize a person's voice without causing massive distortion. (The only real thing that causes distortion is when I run a filter to clean out "hiss" sounds that lower end mics have).

Haha, no, because I was so comfortable around you in New Orleans, as if we’ve known each other forever. Believe me, I was super shy when I was little. My parents thought I was going to be a mute because I didn’t talk, hardly if ever! I’m not too shy now because I was thrown into the real world, forced to deal with the working world and society but there is still remnants of shyness still in me. Being shy doesn't get me anywhere. That, and the fact that I’m more of an observer than someone who is very vocal. I prefer to be behind the scenes and watch the crowd instead of being in the center of it.

It’s funny because I can use this to my advantage. I see people try to pull things all the time at work when they don’t think I’m listening or watching them. Like my hypocrite boss, I called him out on a few things and put him on the spot and it was so satisfying seeing him squirm in his seat why trying to pull excuses out of his ass.

I asked him how he couldn’t possibly recognize my voice. He said, “Well you never talk to me in your seductive voice!” Whoops. LOL!

Ahh gotcha. Yeah, that was another thing I could’ve done differently, to speak louder.
