I Swear I'm Not a Hippie

I very much like your reading voice, and would love to hear more of this story. I have found that making friends with strangers can be kind of scary - last week I spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to get a sadly demented hitchhiker to exit my car - but most great stories come from taking risks. Good job!

Great story. You have a very down-to-earth delivery that I think would make you a great host. I bet you are very easy to talk to.

I enjoyed listening to your demo as it had a lot of personal warmth to what sounds like a fun narrative.

I'd be interested to hear you again in a studio to bring your vocals front and center.

Good luck.

What I like about this story is how it combines personal experience with local history. San Francisco is so full of crazy stories, quirky places, and colorful people. You could build a show just around the city itself, and the stories it has to tell!
Great reading, by the way. We do a lot of voiceover recording at my job, and I have to say you nailed the timing and expression just right!

Sounds like you were in the middle of history.... I wonder what that would be like.

No one should, look back with regret on all that they never did: the beauties they did not see, the music they did not hear, the flavors they did not taste, the aromas they did not inhale, the sensations they did not feel.

I loved this story. You tell it so well, too. Have you ever been to Burning Man? You kinda of strike me as a burner.

Give me a listen if you like

Jejune, your voice sounds like that of an established pro; it's hard to believe you're yet undiscovered. Not only do you sound perfect for public radio, but your vocal quality and personality comes across as so rich and engaging that I could see you becoming a much renowned and sought-after voiceover talent and narrator across the board (if this contest doesn't pan out for you, you should seriously set your sights on finding a good agent). You're a natural, and I'd tune in to hear the likes of that voice no matter what the story.
