My Second Life

After a brief stint on a radio-drama show, I am back.

Back to do it again.
Which is crazy.



I really messed-up the first time. I was required to "voice" a couple of characters last April and they all all sounded the same. I cringe every time I think about it! I'm the person who makes fun of bad actors on local TV and there I was in the sound booth doing an oh so terrible job. Hahahaha!

As you may know I work for a foundation so many of our productions require a lot of "creativity" and "improvisation". So you get the picture on how I got dragged in--it's not for the talent.

But I have to admit it's a lot of fun. Yeah it disrupts my work flow (and sometimes I have a LOT to do) but its fun.

This month (each play is about 20 episodes) I have a bigger part. And fortunately for the AM listeners I don't play multiple characters.

Actually, I play a character that I think is a lot like me (serious). But he's rich and gets to fall in love in the end (I'm not sure, all the episodes haven't been written yet.)

The play is about the transition of senior college students into the real world. (The REAL world.) It has a little bit of a "Mean Girls" slash "Gossip Girl" thing going. Since I am part of the rich popular set it's cool to be playing someone far removed from who I really am. Rich? Popular? Me?

But I'm the "good" guy in the group. I play the sensitive/hopeless romantic who, guess what, chills out in the library. Also he's still single and and is waiting for the "one". Ha! How difficult would that be? I could definitely relate to that.


So pls. if you don't have anything better to do

Doncha worry, 'the one' will come... eventually. Yeah, right!

She ain't gonna show up at your doorstep one fine morning, go out there and find her, boy! -- wait. you're still really young. Ah well.

Very cool about the radio series.

(Now perhaps you should ask if anyone's called the station yet and asked for a pic of the guy playing your character... *wink)

I honestly would do that, just for the fun of it and so your colleagues eat their hearts out (hihi), but, erm, I think it'd get lost in translation.

That's OK. It will probably strike you whenever you're ready and least prepared for it.

I mean it.
