2. I don't think you should give up on making a voice reel because from that voice post you made that time, you have an excellent radio/recording voice. At least podcast more!

no subject
Date: 2012-10-15 03:06 am (UTC)I will promptly add it to my new list :D
A Fuck-it bucket is an idea from Amy Sedaris's book I Like You
(from the book)
Go get a 1 gallon paintpail
Fill it with candy
write Fuck it Bucket on it
when shit gets you down
just say Fuck it, and
eat some motherfuckin’ candy
:)
