Call my union rep! My working conditions have dropped below "reasonable". Look at my "Wee Huttie" .

Hmmm, I think your room is "too dead". Do you know CPR?

LOL!!

Well, a few years ago I was the announcer on a live award show broadcast from The Pantages Theater in Hollywood. They set up my recoding "booth" in the utility closet. I was surrounded by boxes, mops, and the SOOO enjoyable aroma of ammonia.

But that wasn't the worse part! I went for a walk about an hour and a half before show time. When I came back to the theater they didn't have my name on the list, so they wouldn't let me get back in. I chuckled and told the security dude, "Well, ya better talk to someone, because if you don't let me in this show ain't gonna go live with the "intent" the producers planned.

It took a while, but they did get me in.....about 2 minutes before we went live.

I found the whole thing quite amusing!

Ah, what are you complainin' about, Philip? At least you have something to sit on...er...lean against. Just think of it as your own private foley pit. Wink

Rob's working on it as I type. What you see is as it looked circa 1880.

Yeah, those 19th-century VO artists had it rough!

High ceiling so we're going for a voice over cathedral.

Philip, I certainly hope that when the cathedral is completed, you do your v.o. work for the remainder of your days lying on your back on a scaffolding up near the ceiling.
