Hey, this is Steve blue and you are listening

to the geek cast radio network Do you start your

day? Deciding which video game you're gonna play

You fight with your family over which is better

Marvel or DC The geek of all your friends cuz

you know what Batman beats Superman This is the

right place to be up the volume cause you're

an altered geek. Altered geek, get altered, geek

geek geek. Altered geek, from Star Wars to Star

Trek, comics to tech. Altered geek, get altered,

geek geek geek. Altered geek, pull up a chair

cause you're an altered geek. okay so as I mentioned

in the top of the show the thing that's been

going around the internet that people have been

losing their blasted minds over is that Disney

CEO change basically you're getting rid of one

Bob for another and one of them is going more

to the creative side and honestly he's been trying

to leave since 2016 and just things were so good

that he's just his contracts till 2021 and the

other Bob runs the theme parks and all that side

of things but he's going to be taking on more

of a primary role of Disney and people are just

losing it all over like oh where did this come

from oh why is this happening I don't understand

Disney's burning to the ground so yeah it's it's

kind of funny all the different articles that

are going out And all of them are basically saying

the same thing in that he wanted to focus more

on the creative side of things and all the properties

that they've established rather than having to

divide his time between that and doing the day

to day of Disney CEO work. So he's still a board

chairman until like 2021 and still going to be

pretty primary in his role. uh... however he

stepped down immediately to do this other adventure

my thing is is i think they're they're more so

leaning to the grooming of this other bob i can't

remember either one of their last names right

now i'm just going off of memory uh... but Think

they're grooming him to kind of get the handle

on that situation and kind of learn on it While

the other Bob is still in there and you know

this massive Empire that's been built up because

of him so that's a good thing in that regard

and I Think that it's only going to benefit Disney

It's funny that TV's mr. Neil he made some kind

of a joke he says There's a conspiracy going

on with Disney where they're buying up all these

properties just so they can put Muppet Babies,

the original one, back on Disney+. It makes absolutely

no sense, but it's hilarious because they've

got all these other old shows on there, but they

don't have the original Muppet Babies, which

they own the Jim Henson company. They own Lucasfilm.

They own Marvel. They own... All these other

companies and yet something simple is more or

less what he's poking fun at. So yeah, it's kind

of amusing in that regard. But I only see Disney

getting stronger as time goes on. However, their

streaming service leaves a lot to be desired.

I do like how they break things down to categories

by company that's inside. However, their library

is not all that extensive, and Netflix even,

their library, it shows that from 2010 to now,

like the 10 -year gap. They have significantly

less programming. They just hide a lot of it

a lot better that's still there and behind their

little motion graphic teaser trailer thing that

pops up at the top when you're on any page. Honestly,

I find it highly annoying. I wish there was a

way to turn it off and I'm sure there is. I just

don't know what it is. And it's I usually bookmark

somewhere where I plan on watching. Show for

a while so that I don't have to deal with that

For the web interface or I have the app For instance

on my phone and I just download a ton of episodes

that I want to watch so I can avoid anything

on the app itself The trick is is if you have

Hulu and you have Netflix and you watch Star

Trek a lot and you want to watch more than what

doesn't what Netflix allows you to download Hulu

lets you download I think it's 16 episodes of

something or 16 somethings and Netflix lets you

download 12 So if you download for instance 12

Star Trek episodes on Netflix you can download

another 16 on Hulu I don't know I find it highly

amusing because I I do this so that I can watch

them Came in handy for instance for when I'm

on a flight because then I don't have to deal

with I'm hearing other people. I don't have to

deal with whatever the garbage is that they have

on the in -flight movie if they even have that

option at all. So yeah, it's a nice convenient

feature. So moving into the home studio category,

and we'll broach this a little bit more once

Mike the Birdman Dodd and Alex Ricci get on the

episode because I feel like they have a decent

amount of stuff to... to add to the conversation,

but I'm going to just lightly touch on, for instance,

my experience with it. I find it highly entertaining

that these elitist podcasters and radio people

believe that you should have a mixer for your

microphone and it should be XLR, not USB. So

I find it a little annoying that they all are

this elitist nature of you have to have this

or you're not a pro. Basically, you can be a

podcaster at any level. And that's kind of what

I feel like the radio industry has kind of tainted

the the whole. Indie podcaster space especially

with their the Academy of podcasters where you

They have radio people now get this they have

radio people that run this and they announced

it at podcast movement and I'm going to circle

back around to the studio stuff in a minute,

but They created this basically association of

podcasters where They allow People of the indie

sort or just regular podcasters or radio people

they can become like basically chairman or board

members for two years or something for this association

And it also is you know supposedly going to have

training things and it's gonna have you know

so you can vote for shows and have them boosted

in in the the rankings and you know have an award

show and all these these novel concept and nice

options however the thing that concerns me is

that it's headed up by a radio guy and a lot

of the people that are in it are podcasters but

they're from the radio side of things and To

me like I get that there's enough room for everyone

in the podcasting space and there should be it

should be a pretty open Format however because

of advertising dollars and radio all companies

are getting involved in this which means that

the indie podcasters space is growing Smaller

and smaller as time goes on or more difficult

to stand out because you have all these professionally

paid podcasters that are radio people Or translate

the radio show to podcast. I used to work for

one And there's Not saying that it shouldn't

be consumable but the problem I see with it is

that They're almost crapping on the indie podcasters.

And with this association, my concern is, is

that again, it's one of those charge a fee, join

a club, you know, and a lot of these big people

that are in podcasting that were indie podcasters

have switched over to the pay side of things

so that they can make a buck off of people that

don't know any better. And I'm not saying that

training doesn't come involved at some point

in podcasting. But the problem with it is is

everyone's trying to make a buck off of someone

It's almost like any of these different services

where somebody is like our own your own business

Oh become a voiceover agent and then you have

like your voiceover Talent and then you have

all these different places that are just trying

to get your money And that's what I feel is happening

with the podcasting space. There's so many Podcast

conventions that are around now that weren't

around years ago And the funny thing is, is I

would more than love to go. The problem is, is

they cost way too much money. They not only want

$350 just to start out, just to show up at the

event, which is, in my mind, ridiculous. I can

go to a Comic Con for under $100. Now just let

that sink in for a weekend. I can go for under

$100 at most comic cons Yes, maybe STCC. They

don't do things that way But I still think that

$300 for one of these events is a bit steep Which

almost prices out indie podcasters because indie

podcasters don't have any money. I'm still an

indie podcaster I don't have any money any of

the advertising money we make on this goes right

back in the funnel It pays for the hosting, which

granted is free, but it pays for the website

hosting. It pays for any of my time that I have

to put into development, any software needs,

any plugins, the theme, just things in general

of that nature. And so the whole thing with these

conventions are that it's become, you know, Yes,

indie podcasters are more than welcome to be

there and and they're, you know, not pushed aside

or anything, but the radio people are getting

more and more involved. And of course, these

older time podcasters that are indie, but are

kind of making that switch. It's. It's gotten

too commercial. And there's so many of these

events now that I feel like the indie podcasters

and being properly represented just to go to

one of these conventions. It's going to cost

you fifteen hundred dollars for a weekend. Or

even if it's a four day event, it's going to

cost you like two thousand dollars. I priced

out how much it was going to go. And of course,

they only go to the big cities because I priced

out how much it was going to be to go to podcast

movement. And there was no way I could afford

it. No way. Between transportation food lodging

the ticket itself and like I said just to start

out is $350 a lot of them go up to $600 Because

then you get the premium track where you get

to go to all of the events you get to have the

downloadables You get to do this and that It's

it's ridiculous there they're basically swiping

money. And so again, that kind of comes down

to the elitist -ism that's built into podcasting

now is that you have to be almost on par with

these radio people, which you should strive to

have better audio and better quality programming.

And yes, recording on your cell phone in a car

while you're going to work is not probably the

best idea, but if the content is relevant and

the content is... Providing some sort of an educational

purpose or entertainment factor then honestly

people will look past a little bit of the sound

quality as long as it's not like horrible or

And most of you know what that is it's me playing

a video game while I'm podcasting I Don't do

that anymore. Although it is annoying with some

of the stuff with the mouse clicks because I'm

trying to pull something up and not have it on

the program and converse at the same time so

yeah um i gotta figure out a way around that

but yeah like i said though and this kind of

ties back into the mixers and the the microphones

is you don't need one of those mixers you don't

need a multiple sound card setup honestly yes

i know skype is like kind of frowned upon skype

does what it's supposed to do but people can

also do zoom meetings which again does the same

thing you can have people join it and if you're

not looking to do the video side of things you

can do discord discord is surprisingly a wonderful

tool that easily replaces skype you can not only

have people listen to your stuff live while you're

doing Discord having the channel and having the

chat thing set up, but you can also have it record

And it puts everyone on their own tracks. So

however many people you have built into this

feed You you get the You get the ability to have

them all on separate tracks anyway So when you

go to edit them down if something doesn't sync

up you can chop and maneuver so it's it's honestly

I I really prefer using Discord over Skype. Skype,

all of the call recorders for Skype put everybody

on the same channel, or if they don't, they put

you on a separate channel from everyone else.

And honestly, the audio quality isn't all that

great, and they don't really have as many good

options for you. Whereas when you use the Kreg

bot that's in Discord, You can download as a

WAV, as FLAC, as AAC, as, you know, there's like

two other formats, I believe. But you get to

have all these different formats, and some of

them even let you download an Adobe, er, Audacity

project file, which will help you in the sense

of already pre -building your project. So there's

a lot to be said for the free side of things.

And I'm not saying that there isn't a world where

you could connect people like if you're gonna

use phones or something you know, Zoom might

work for you if you're looking for a cheaper

method. If you're wanting to actually plug people

in and have these multiple sound cards to handle

the different audio inputs, or you want a mixer

for some of those purposes, yeah, I mean, by

all means, do it if that's what you're comfortable

with. If you're a radio person and you enjoy

it, if you're a podcaster and you just want to

experiment with it and kind of play around with

it, it's great. You don't have to have it, though,

to be a podcaster. And I feel like it's become

this elitism that if you don't have these things.

If you have a Blue Yeti, you're like totally

crapped on in the industry. I have a Blue Yeti.

I've had one since 2012. And honestly, I've heard

worse audio from people that have professional

setups. I've interviewed voice actors. I've interviewed

actors or just geeky people. I've talked to...

I mean, Twig I'm sure has some better setup than

I do. And often I sound better on the quality

than they do. I sound more clear, more crisp,

and the majority of the podcasters that we've

worked with, they either use the same setup or

they have a crappier mic. And the Blue Yeti,

yes, it does pick up room noise and some of the

ambient stuff there, but it's pretty crystal

clear other than that. And you can change the

gain on it, which I figured out somebody screwed

with mine and that's why it's been picking up

all those little ambient room sounds. but you

can adjust it on there. You can sit there and

you can turn it from an omnidirectional to a

bidirectional to a cardioid to, there's like

one other setting. But suffice it to say, you'll

be fine if you have that. And yes, you do need

headphones. You do need having some of that set

up. And if you don't, your... audio quality or

things of that nature could suffer. You shouldn't

be playing it over a speaker because you'll get

sound that pops back in your interface. So again,

I feel like there's this elitist -ism that's

kind of building in the industry. And so if you're

an indie podcaster, it's either... Because even

there's that one website where they let you I

can't remember the name of it because I've never

I would never use it And I think honestly does

suck as an indie podcaster it's the one where

they let anybody just kind of record and they

host it for free and People usually record like

two or two to five episodes, and then they fizzle

out Anyways some other company owns them so I

I don't necessarily agree with that method either

because it's yes it's making it super easy for

people to get involved but I feel like there

should be a little balance between the two like

there shouldn't be like you have to have all

this state -of -the -art equipment and you shouldn't

be like the oh I can do it because it's it's

all free and you can jump in on this side of

things I've been doing it since you know I had

to code my own RSS feeds for all the GeekCast

radio programs and they were each were their

own feed and it sucked until we went with using

the Blueberry PowerPress plugin on the website

which built the RSS feeds for us and then eventually

to BlogTalk Radio and then Spreaker. But yeah,

I mean, honestly, I feel that that's part of

the problem. contributing to to podcasting so

cycle back now that I'm I've gone from one end

of the spectrum to the other to the the studio

setup I still have my Blue Yeti it still works

and until it dies I don't plan on replacing it

with any other microphone and yes I may do some

research and I may switch to another USB mic

that's different and not blue but I might keep

with another newer blue Uh, there's still podcasters

and voice actors that use it. And I need to do

more research on that because I want to do more

voice acting. Um, which that's a totally another

subject that I'll cover after the break. Um,

but yeah, I mean, when it comes to the, the podcast

side of things, I bought a extendable arm that

mounts to the desk. that I could attach my my

blue Yeti and there's only certain ones that

have the little specialized 5 -8 screw that goes

into the bottom of the Yeti that fits perfectly

because some of them are plastic some of them

are metal this one's metal so that's why I went

with that and plus it's got a way to store your

cord so That's nice. It's not the one that it

goes inside the plastic that you still have to

use like velcro straps to hold it But it's got

like a track that it can sit in more or less

But it's really nice and I tried it out for the

first time the other day doing voiceover and

I adjusted the gain and I fixed my microphone

get it all set up put the pop screen filter on

and It actually sounded great. It worked. I was

able to not only sit at my desk and have it instead

of below my chin when I record I had it face

level I had it within inches of my face and if

I want to stand up and record and do voiceover

it'll extend that way too so in that regard it's

it's a really nice option it only cost me $29

to get that arm on Amazon The microphone, originally

I paid $99. It was on sale on Amazon, but it

was like $120 at the time, and it's like $130

now, which is weird. But then they also have,

I have my Logitech ClearChat Pro USB headset,

which $30 headset. They say you should have a

better one like a studio quality one that blocks

out sound outside of the headphones So you can

actually hear all the ambient room sounds and

hear all of that when you're doing voiceover

But I haven't gotten there yet the headphones

are broken But they do stay together so until

they're completely kaput or until I get a little

bit of decent money built up Where I can get

a nice set of headphones That's what I'm sticking

with And then I was going to soundproof by building

basically a soundproof barrier using cardboard

and egg cartons, but I did research on that.

Egg cartons are not only a fire trap, but they

don't actually block any sound at all, even though

they're porous. It has to be that specialized

foam, or it just doesn't do the deal. You can...

If you're looking for that cleaner sound in the

dead room sound They they also say like you don't

have to have a studio built in your house You

can just move your stuff to a closet with lots

of clothes or blankets where the sound is dead

and Basically that can be a recording booth and

I've thought about that But I'd have to move

everything and so what I'll probably be doing

is is getting one of those Isolated or at least

two of those Unless it's big enough those foam

enclosures that you can kind of put around yourself

that when you're recording to kind of block sound

out And I'm gonna get some quieter fans for my

PC, but that's beside the point But yeah, so

I have that set up. I have a Logitech 920c HD

1080p webcam Which does the job? It's not perfect

if I were gonna do the streaming videos thing

full -time Because I've gotten that and I've

I've used it but intermittently it's not like

it's something I use a lot But uh If I was gonna

stream more I would probably get something more

high dollar and nicer But it works for what it

works for I need to get an LED light though for

my face so that I can put it Behind the monitor

so that it lights up my face when I'm being recorded

because unfortunately the light in the room still

has kind of a yellowish hue to it and I'm sure

a lot of it's the light bulbs and I'll probably

change those out at some point once I die but

it's also just because it's again it's in a basement

it's not a controlled room but it's a lot better

than where I was and both houses so it's it's

getting better so anyways yeah my my studio setup

is pretty much all that. I use Adobe Audition

for recording and editing and it works great

and I honestly recommend all of the things that

I said because I actually use them and I don't

have to spend a ton of money on it. Once you've

bought a lot of this stuff, it doesn't really

keep costing you. Yes, I did upgrade my computer

but that was for all kinds of other reasons.

uh... not only gaming but editing in in things

of that nature so uh... so yeah let me know what

you guys if you're a podcaster or like doing

voices or some of that stuff what you have for

your setup or what even if you're not if you're

just a gamer and you have like a pc setup or

your streamer or something just let me know what

your setup is uh... income on the episode post

on geek cast radio dot com You can also let me

know on the Twitters at AlteredGeek or at SCP

-21. And for right now, we'll be back after this

commercial break with a conversation about the

voice acting class. And we're back. Welcome,

kids, to AlteredGeek. It's AlteredGeek on the

GeekCast Radio Network. Anyways, now that we've

had the Joker and John Lovitz just randomly make

an appearance, we're going to talk voiceover.

So I went to this class. It was like a city over

from where I work and like two cities over from

where I live. So ultimately, not a bad idea.

And it was put on by Such A Voice, which I don't

know if anybody's heard of them, but they do,

they do coaching, they do master classes, they

do introductory classes for voiceover, they do

pretty sure demo production and some other things.

That being said, there's clearly an agenda with

these type of sites, and granted, The information

they did give at the seminar was valid because

a lot of it I've heard before and some of it

I hadn't or it was a nice refresher. So it was

very helpful to have this class. But I enjoyed

the overall experience of it and what it was

able to provide. And the price wasn't too bad

it was like 50 bucks for this introductory class

you get about two two and a half hours worth

of content crammed in your noggin plus some Kind

of quasi experience to play around with it So

that basically they give you scripts they they

break you down into groups, and then you would

perform ad copy for different types of voiceover

for commercial purposes and then the instructor

would put it to a bed of music and there you

go and in the process they would also evaluate

your vocal performance and what you're able to

do the only thing I see a problem with is it's

only gearing people towards the commercial side

and what I mean by that is the scripts that they

have are clearly they're clearly commercials

for something, whether it be a health spa, whether

it be a coffee shop, or whether it be just something

else of that nature. So what would it happen,

or a theater, that was the other one, like a

physical theater, not like go watch a movie theater.

So that being said, I felt it was a little...

disadvantageous to anybody that's looking to

get into it for animation characters any of those

type of purposes because it really doesn't tell

you much as far as that's concerned you don't

get to really try any of it but it is a two and

a half hour class so I don't expect them to sit

there and have the time to run through all of

these different types What it was nice though

is that they do give you the evaluation now mine

got somewhere lost in the internet ether somewhere

and I Reached out because I knew the actors name

Who happens to be also a voice coach and a voice

director and some other things. I did reach out

and Send her an email and ask, you know, I didn't

get this. I don't know if it got missed in translation

from me writing down my email or that. So I.

So I did bring that up and emailed her and she

was like, oh, I did send you an email, but apparently

it must not have gone anywhere because it didn't

ever hit my my inbox. But I got her reply, so

I don't I don't know exactly what it was or why

or how it happened. But I should be getting it

soon, that's all that really matters out of it.

But I'm more so doing it because of the curiosity

of what it entails. Now I know that the end game

for such a voice is to get you to pay them, you

know, whatever the monthly fee is, whatever the

subscription, you know, for demo services, for

additional classes, for a demo, for all of these

different things. but looking at their roster

not to Say that they don't have very talented

people because they do and I've seen some youtubers

on there that are part of their coaching staff

like Tays on day who did the chocolate rain song

way back when Guy used to follow me on Twitter

for a while. I don't know if he still does. I

don't think so, but But anyways, he's on there

and there's there's other people on there that

may or may not have heard of which doesn't discredit

them at all because obviously they're doing it

for a living but they're also doing the coaching

side of it because again it's a gig so you know

it's always important to have that next job so

I totally get it from their perspectives but

I'm a little leery of it and so were a lot of

the students when we went into the hallway to

practice doing these lines and My concern is

is very similar to the podcast industry to be

honest is that you have to be careful of like

these Services like I don't know anybody that's

used such a voice or have heard of anyone that's

used them that is Fairly big or even mid -range

Not saying that everyone takes the same path

and gets to the same Capabilities But I'm a little

leery of services when There you know, you kind

of pay them and then it may or may not pan out

Like I did voice one two three I've done Voices

calm I've done a few of those basically your

pay -to -play sites and honestly I've never been

lucky with the pay -to -play Granted I've never

had an actual demo either. So that's probably

a lot of it. The other part is that I Just don't

like the concept of paying someone to have a

chance to audition I would rather be able to

audition and then pay somebody on the agent's

side if I get it, if you kind of get my drift

there. So anyways, everyone was practicing doing

these lines. We went out in the hall, we practiced,

we did it, kind of compared backgrounds a little

bit and why the motivation to do it. And everyone

was pretty nervous going in because the teacher

didn't record us and put us to a music bed on

the track, and it came out really nice, and everybody

did really well at it, but there was a lot of

nervousnesses, nervousness, nervous, nervous,

man. So they, they were all anticipating the

sales pitch, basically, and so the instructor

more or less said, everyone will get an email.

If I think you have what it takes. I'll give

you a call, which to me is code because they

ask you like a plethora of questions. They ask

you if you've had radio experience. They've asked

you if you've had, you know, I think the way

that it's being done is it narrows it down so

that they call the people most likely to spend

their money. And I could be totally wrong at

that. But I don't think you can give somebody

a yeah, I think this is for you and I don't think

it's for you off of one line of dialogue and

the same thing goes when we audition people for

The radio play that I'm a part of Yes, they may

do great at their audition. They may suck at

their audition The true chance is getting them

in the booth to actually record And that can

determine a lot of things. We've had people that

were great on auditions, that were terrible on

the booth. Had range on the audition, had no

range on the booth. Then we've had people that

are the opposite. No range in the audition, great

in the booth. It just depends. And then there's

the rare occurrence where you get the people

that are just good no matter what. And don't

even have to read the script. So that aside.

I think that they kind of play on this gullibility

factor of like, you really want this. We're going

to pump you up. You pay us X amount of dollars

and you can join the club. And so I don't know

if that's the way that it's going. I hope not.

I'm not trying to slander or say anything bad

against the company. I just, I worry about that

kind of thing because again, Don't know I've

never heard of anybody that's had used it to

actually get decently big So Again could just

be my own misconception but I Didn't get a call

I didn't get an email either so I'm I'm wondering

if it's because I said I'm a radio producer of

a podcast Audio drama for kids and I get to do

voices Which could have automatically singled

me out as you have experience, you know some

of this stuff We're not even gonna bother messing

with you Or it could be that they honestly just

didn't see me doing commercial work, which again,

that's what they promote so I Have no intention

like I I like I would do the commercial work

If there was a need Like if there was you know

the money was good if it was you know something

that I could see myself doing But I'm all about

the character voices the impressions the ADR

So if I had the opportunity To do it then that's

what I would do and so My hope is is that nobody

else is getting put through the wringer By using

the site or the class or or anything to that

degree But that being said Dee Bradley Baker

actually has a website where he has tons of information

That's for free called. I want to be a voice

actor comm and you can also watch like videos

by like John Bailey who's done uh who's in voiceover

now and started off doing the same thing that

I'm doing which you know doing like amateur dubbing

doing you know YouTube videos or just side projects

and then it eventually snowballed into what he's

doing and so Not saying that they don't work

at it because I know they do I have to work now

to try and come up with different voices for

every time we record a production run with a

season because I End up playing and I enjoy it.

Don't let me kid you I enjoy playing three to

four characters a season this last production

run I only got to play one character which was

my primary in the show and his name is Peabody

and Unfortunately, he only had 21 lines in season

14. And I had no secondary, tertiary, or fourth

-level characters. So I was a little sad, to

be honest. But season 12, I had four characters.

I had two in the main storyline, two in the biblical

side. And then in season 13, I had one in the

primary, which again, Peabody. Then I had two

in the biblical side and I played an animal that

talks a talking parakeet. So It's fun no matter

what I used impressions to a little bit too,

but And now with the mini production that we're

about to go into in a couple of weeks actually

two weeks I get to play again Peabody, which

is my main character And then I also get to play

There's a historical, basically flashback set

of episodes. So I get to play... I get to play

two of the historical flashback characters. I

get to play just another rando. I get to play

a bird, the talking bird again, which is reprising

and Peabody. So I get to actually play five voices

in this production run. So I'm super excited.

And then I'm hoping that in season 15 that we're

going to record in April that I get to play in

three and four more as well. But again, like

you got to and I get it like I had a few people

actually contact me through Twitter that were

interested in. learning more and kind of just

connecting with me because I connected with such

a voice on Twitter and kind of mentioned that

I went to the class and it was fun and And then

we kind of just bantered back and forth about

You know voices we enjoy doing and some of the

projects and you know what the teacher had said

and So it was just a lot of loaded information

and a lot of fun Overall, I I do I did like how

the teacher taught everything that they did the

instructor it was very informative there was

a lot of information there to unpack some of

it again like I said I knew some of it I didn't

but I'm definitely looking more towards that

direction in voiceover because I love doing character

voices and impressions like right now I'm trying

to learn how to do the British accent and dialect

which It's almost Megatron has like a little

bit of a play on that Shakespearean British voice

and so does one of my characters in Discovery

Mountain, but they I'm going for more of a British

British and with some like cockney or some London

accent with Because it's supposed to be like

the British or the British are coming, the British

are coming. So yeah, that's the kind of field

I'm playing in on that. So watching a lot of

movies for practice so that I can do some impressions

and I can record it to my phone and kind of remember

what I did so I can go back in the booth and

repeat it. But practicing with the script is

always a plus, which I have those, so that'll

be awesome. Anyways, I think I've rambled on

a long enough if there's any questions you guys

have or you want to kind of broach or ask Me

about any of the subjects talked about today

Or any topic suggestions for when we meet back

up with Birdman and Alex? drop us a feedback

feedback at altered geek comm or Connect with

me on Twitter at altered geek and at SCP 21 so

until next time geeks get altered get geeky with

the altered geeks
