Instead of continuing on with my marketing today I needed to do be creative for a few minutes. A character voice popped into my head yesterday and refused to leave so I recorded her.

If anyone has a minute to listen I appreciate your opinion on what you think of the character and the dialogue I wrote.

Thanks in advance for your much valued opinions.

sometimes you got to take a detour in order to get to the destination... I'd say that this applies.

Sometimes I think the detours are the destination!!!

Winner.

Catalog it. Going higher or lower, adding a lisp or makin it juicer, you've got at least 4-5 spin off characters from that one voice.

Nice job

Peter, thanks for your comments. I could do a woman show based on the musical Company. I already recorded another spin off character whose name is Penelope. She is the hostess of a show called "Helpful hints with Penelope". I'll use any excuse to delay marketing.

I liked it, Chrissy. You embodied the character (and you really must want to experience grease paint...lol must have been a forgotten edit) without going way overboard with it. You rode the line of funny/outlandish and real nicely. Good job.

Ben,

Thanks. Part of my goal was to achieve that fine line between funny/outlandish but still making her a real/believable character. It's nice to know that she came across that way.

She's fun! Good to know I'm not the only one who gets sidetracked. It would be neat to hear the spinoffs, too.
