On Voices, Famous
This is why I love being out there. I was at Starbucks with a friend yesterday talking about a few small video projects we're working on. I mentioned that we still need to find someone good to do our voiceover, and a man next to us perked his head up.
"I used to do some voiceover work," he chimed in. Then he said a few lines for us in a cartoon-like warble that I knew was the genuine article. There's no faking a voice like that. We were sitting next to the original Bullwinkle. If you don't know who that is, ask your parents.
The best part is that he's still a successful writer after all these years. He was working on a couple of rewrites while we sat next to him. He even interjected words of wisdom and jokes a few more times. At one point he said "Don't worry, I won't steal any of your ideas."
I replied by telling him that I didn't think any of my ideas were worth telling right now, let alone stealing.
"Everyone has a story worth telling," he said.
I have a feeling he's right.
