  11. I'm afraid I'd have stage fright.

    By the way - when I saw the name of you post I thought it was going to be in defense of the banana - it's been taking quite a bashing on Jeanne's blog

  12. oh, nene, the haters. it's gonna take a lot more than that for me to put pom poms down.

    A few times I've been around that track
    So it's not just gonna happen like that....

    Let me hear you say, this **** is bananas
    B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

  13. My eyes have had worse, much worse.

    This seems to be a Stateside thingy as it doesn't like my phone number. Ah well. My nasal twang will have to remain hidden.

  14. did you try the 661-BLOG number? that didn't work for me, so i used the 415 number at the first page of audioblogger.com. don't know if you want to deal with the expense, but it was only pennies for me....

  15. Super Impressive Santos! Now if only you could get your computer to have a 'scratch n sniff' screen then I would be happy! Imagine smelling all your pics! WOO!

    ReplyDelete
  16. You have a nice voice!! :) You'll put any irate customer at ease. Ever considered a career in telemarketing or at a call center? Heehee. And I like green bananas too!

  17. I'll give it a try but it may be a wee bit pricey if I have to call the states. Could you call for me? You just have to say any "ai" sounds as "oi" and put a rising intonation on statements e.g.

    Oim Anthony from spoiceblog

  18. hi bex! if you scratch and sniff my screen it smells like dog slobber and vinegar (i use vinegar and water to clean my 'puter screen :))....

    hi toni! my customer service is way more menacing: you want WHAT?! louder too :) very frowny :( i would be fired after one customer!

    anthony--don't tempt me. you'd be horrified. yewd baee hawrfied? everything i've ever learned about an australian accent i learned from kath & kim. actually, no, my friend judith taught me a phrase to keep repeating: "I'm from Perth, where are you from?" which is pretty durn amusing, but probably very very wrong.

    actually, why not try skype?

    ReplyDelete
  19. anthony--it is u.s./u.s. territory numbers only at the moment. sorry. (i don't know why there's not internationalization on this yet!! grrrrr!!!)

    leff did one without using audioblogger. (he uses drupal for his site, so he could call the number either.) i can ask him how he did it and email you if you'd like! :D!

    ReplyDelete
  20. er, i meant that he COULDN'T call the number...

    (it's too early to be typing.)

  21. >drupal

    drupal? brother of rupaul?

    sorry, too late to be making jokes :P

    ReplyDelete
  22. oddly enough, i think you're right! haha!

    i heard that the name came from mixing up both dr. dre and rupaul! funny, huh?

    of course, don't hold me to that. it's secondhand info. ;D!

    Kimmy!
    Oim from Perth where are yoooo from?
    Oim from Perth too. Do you know Macca?
    Macca?
    Played footy, went out with Kate.
    Aww shit yeah Macca, yeah, he was the year above me in school.

    I'll look into this skype thing but may just get a dicount cardy and call some lucky individuals after night at pub.

    Rakka
    Yes please if that's not too much bother.

  24. Hi S,

    That is just so cool. I really didn't expect your voice to sound like that. It sounds so...don't really know how to describe it. Actually, I was expecting you to sound more tita-ish. LOL!

    Maybe you can read all of your posts from now on. =) That would be fun!

  26. Excellent! Very soothing in those 50's style instructionals. Finadene never sounded so sophisticated.
