14731. wonkers2 - 4/27/2005 4:58:49 PM The greatest female voice I ever heard was the one who announced the flights in the Rio airport. Just hearing one of her announcements was enough to Cap'n Dirty into Cap'n Stiffy. 14732. PelleNilsson - 4/27/2005 4:59:37 PM Thank you for digging out those posts, Mago! 14733. Macnas - 4/27/2005 5:02:21 PM "Cap'n Stiffy"?
Laugh??, I nearly shat in the blue cupboard. 14734. wabbit - 4/27/2005 5:03:27 PM hahaha, shades of Derek and Clive! 14735. Macnas - 4/27/2005 5:17:43 PM Where is Justin de Villeneuve when you need him? eh? eh? what a c*nt. 14736. Magoseph - 4/27/2005 5:22:22 PM Oh, you are very welcome, Pelle--the trouble with looking in the Archives is that I am sidetracked by my own posts. 14737. arkymalarky - 4/27/2005 6:49:37 PM Message # 14713
Thanks Mags. I'm hearing that from a lot of quarters. I'm looking forward to a very restful summer. We're not going anywhere, either, and I'm very glad of that. Gas prices are too high, anyway.
I must join the chorus on MsNo's phone voice. Seems like there ought to be good money in that, somehow. 14738. judithathome - 4/27/2005 7:22:47 PM Heh...I'm sure there IS.
I'd go broke doing anything on the phone. I've been told I sound like an 11 year old boy. 14739. Ms. No - 4/27/2005 7:34:37 PM Arx,

There is, but generally only if you own the company not if you actually work the phones. Of course there's tons of money in voice-over work commerically which is all very up-and-up as well.
Juditha,
I'd go broke doing anything on the phone. I've been told I sound like an 11 year old boy.
Uh....I'm not even going to go there, but for the record you do NOT sound like an 11yo boy. 14740. judithathome - 4/27/2005 8:01:57 PM Do I sound like Christin Chenowith, though? 14741. thoughtful - 4/27/2005 8:49:14 PM All i know is i told a friend to stop by escapes yesterday to see my FL pictures and he wanted to know if MsNo was male! 14742. arkymalarky - 4/27/2005 9:00:46 PM Of course there's tons of money in voice-over work commerically which is all very up-and-up as well.,/i>
That's what I was thinking. You could even be a talking cat or something, like for a Fancy Feast commercial. ;-)
Didn't Lauren Bacall do that at one time? I love her voice.
Judith, you don't sound like an 11 yo boy at all. Where do people get such ideas?
14743. arkymalarky - 4/27/2005 9:01:29 PM
Whoa. Sorry about that. 14744. Ms. No - 4/27/2005 9:43:50 PM Thoughtful,
Strangely enough I get that a lot online. It's kind of weird. I'm not at all a manly sort of girl at all. Hell, you've met me, did I seem the least bit butch to you? I've no idea what it is. 14745. Ms. No - 4/27/2005 9:46:38 PM Arky,
Yes, Lauren Bacall did do the Fancy Feast commercials but she was a human in them rather than the voice of the cat. She did have an amazing voice --- her age is starting to creep into it a bit now, but nowhere near the level of Sally Kellerman's. 14746. thoughtful - 4/27/2005 10:56:28 PM MsNo, no you're not the least bit manly...rather quite good looking and a lot of fun.
I think it's your handle...sounds like one a drag queen might use, no? Or certainly someone into S&M! 14747. Ms. No - 4/27/2005 11:34:58 PM I decided that if I were a drag queen my name would be Maxine de Limit.
You can credit the ever-witty Resonance for the change in my moniker. He said it always made him think of someone admonishing a child "Christi No!" and he was the first to start calling me Ms. No. I liked it. I absconded with it!
and lord knows I've been called worse! ;-> 14748. jayackroyd - 4/28/2005 11:33:02 AM Of course there's tons of money in voice-over work commerically which is all very up-and-up as well.
It's hard work to get now. I have a friend who is a fairly prominent morning drive DJ in the tri-state region. He used to be, among other things, the national voice of Chrysler. But now that higher wattage celebrities have found out how lucrative these gigs are, he's getting much less work.
Familiar voices like James Garner or Dick Cavett apparently appeal to consumers in subtle ways, even when they are not identified. 14749. The Summer Woman - 4/28/2005 2:58:45 PM A 'phone engineer told me that, after it being installed in an oil plant in Saudi, they had to change the voice recording to that of an arab male, as some guys really, really liked the female voice and kept using it as, well, a sex line of sorts.
This cracked me up. I always thought the way to Osama would be a through a woman. But did anyone listen to me? 14750.
