Yeah...I couldn't get through more than 30 seconds of one of his tunes. And I LOVE folk music. This is a shitty attempt at vh1 artist of the week sappy pop.

90% of women are turned off by greasy, messy hair on a guy, and the rest of him isnt doing much for me either. I have done a couple of voice things professionally (I am the voice in some phone systems), and its really harder than you might think. By the end of a session, you dont want to talk any more, you just want some coffee and to stop smiling.

@Curves: "By the end of a session, you dont want to talk any more, you just want some coffee and to stop smiling."

Wait. Stop smiling? Don't tell me...the pinhead execs require you to smile while doing voice recordings? Because, as we all know, you can hear a smile?

I'd add a "LOL", but there's no reason to do so...I'm confident you can all hear my grin.

BTW, Curves, I just posted a comment over in the "The Glow Mirror" story. I mention it because I was channeling YOU as I wrote my comment...

@bosskev: I saw that comment and wondered if you were as OCD as I am or if you were trying to steal my glass cleaner. And yes, hearing a smile is stupid, but they want what they want. All of that insipid smiling messes up my diction, but, whatever the guy writing the check says, works for me.

Brian, if you want us to laugh, it would seem you've been told what kind of photo to post.

Not Tom Cruise, as some have suspected.
Well, that was an easy assumption to make given the voice's substandard performing abilities...

...Tom Glynn, an emo folk singer dude with beautiful hair.
So, who's the greasy-noodle-haired guy in the photo?
