Getting to the bottom of things...
Segue . . . Holy Crap . . . Cat Hair . . . Segway . . . Potty-trained . . . she can say anything and sound captivating. And she sings.
Please, read my phone book. My 1099. Your voice has magic. Or is it voodoo? When you do that voodoo . . . sing it, Stephi.
Great stuff. Funny. I could officially resign from the contest after listening to you. Although I probably won't.
Best of luck . . .
Can I adopt you and use you as my peronal assistant and P.R. professional?
I'm still thinking about ideas for strollers.

It took me a second to get into it, but I really, really liked it. It was unexpected.
It might have been over the top, but I really was covered in cat hair. Thank you!

With a wit as sharp as a tack, you've got a damn good singing voice too! Among the current fare of condescending politalk and tabloid-gossip reporting that masquerades as news, it would be genuinely refreshing to hear your edgy, classy humor and clever observations. I'm ready to tune in! - Joy

I cringe when I hear it, but thanks so much! Bronchitis killed my voice this spring...that and the yelling at the cats. I should remember to breathe from the diaphram and project from my solar plexus when screaming. I always forget.

That sense of humor is deadly and a delivery to keep anyone tuned in. I like it. A lot.
You've got such a great voice and great energy, it's hard not to listen! I'm not sure what you were talking about the whole time, but that didn't make me press the back button, no way! The mark of a budding pro...good luck!

That's one of my favorite parts of your broadcast. I hope everyone gives it a listen. I was practicing my words all the way downtown tonight while I listened to the Beastie Boys. They have some good ones too, I just can't repeat them here.

I like your wit and intelligence. You go girl! Actually you sound like you could seriously sing as well. Ah the curse of the multi-talented...so many choices, only x amount of time. Good luck!

Frankly, I had the worst bout of bronchitis this spring, and since I'm pregnant, they wouldn't give me a Z-pack. My voice won't be the same for another few weeks. I cringe every time I hear it right now, which I suspect is a similar reaction to most of those who have heard my audio.
I hope my old voice teacher didn't get ahold of the clip. Disasterous! Thank God she's three hours away.
Loved your entry too! So much time, so few entries...wait, strike that, reverse it.

Wrestless Youth Public Radio would definitely attract another audience. How do we get started?

Stephi, are you old enough to recall an album that came out in the 70s - Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg, "Twin Sons of Different Mothers"? Okay, well, we might be twin daughters of different mothers, except that you came out first and kicked me in the head, so I'm a lot slower than you, developmentally speaking.
Here's why I say this: I recorded three different entries - and one of them was like an embarrassingly bad version of yours, which really is spectacular BTW. I'm also a mile-a-minute undiagnosed ADHDiva (they say chemotherapy will do that to you - personally, I wish more exciting mind-altering drugs had been involved) and I was just too, too... too.
So I took my public radio chill pill and ended up submitting my first recording, which was very subdued because it was recorded at 3am with a house full of sleeping family members who say to me all day long, "MOM, you're talking REALLY LOUD and everyone can hear you," and I am SO ANNOYING anyway (or so my own almost-16-year old daughter tells me) so I really tried hard not to be.
But when my friends heard my entry, they pretty much said, 'Gee, that's okay, but you're so quiet in that clip and that's not really you at all...'
So I've decided that I'm going to send them the link to YOUR entry and see if I can pass it off as my own, at least within my own real-world circle of peeps. (After all, if golfwidow could pull it off, maybe there's hope for me.)
BTW, OMG stands for Outstanding Maternal Goddess, which is what you are. Stop by my house - you're welcome to stay as long as you want. I'll leave the keys under the reproduction of Michelangelo's David on the front lawn. (I have no problem with marbled meat....)

I'll have to check out that song. That is quite a compliment coming from you. If I'm ever in the area, don't be surprised to find me eating Cheetohs on your couch.
By the way, one of my best friends is also "Jewpanese." She's absolutely gorgeous, talented and incredibly intuitive. Another of my friends married a Jewish man. We call her "Jew-ISH." I mean, she eats kosher food occassionally, and endured a "glass stomping" when she got married. I missed the wedding, unfortunatly, but I always picture her somehow having 23 stitches in her foot after that.
Tell your friends that it's your entry under your pen name and personae. You got the photo from free clipart sight and always wanted to live on the North Shore. Maybe they'll vote for me. When ever someone says OMG to me again...I'll think of you and smile!

p.S. If I didn't live in a condo, I'd have one of those "Mannequin Pis" statues in my front yard. I saw it in Belgium and have wanted one ever since. Do you think they'd notice if the original went...missing?

Your piece is funnier every time I listen to it! Now that is comic genius.
Maybe we should start our own radio show. Something like *The View* only with people who have brains and wit!!!

Doesn't "The View" just crack you up? We don't have cable because I'm too lazy to wait for the cable guy to come over. That whole, "He'll be here sometime in the next 52 hours, so be home 24/7 until he gets there" thing just aggrivates me to no end. SO, I get FOX and a really fuzzy "The View" channel. Sometimes if I'm trying to watch "Dancing with the Stars," I make my family sit in strategic places around the room, holding alluminum foil and foil windshield protectors so that it comes in more clearly. My efforts are not appreciated...and I just can't get my cats to sit still holding forks and spoons.
Thanks for listening!

Not only is your voice great and you're funny... but for anyone familiar with Highland Park, you hit that dead on! Terrific entry!
Well, I hope everyone has given yours a listen because I could have listened to it for an hour in front of a fire place with brandy in a snifter.

... two key requirements of "hostiness!"
Good luck in the next round!
You certainly get a lot done in two minutes. Loved your energy, very entertaining; good luck.
You had me laughing for the full 1 minute and 57 seconds. Let me know when you will be on the air on NPR ... I will definately be tuning in to hear your show!
Don't change ... you are a breath of fresh air!
Thanks for your kind comments to me, and I want you to know that I love your audition. You completely kept my attention!
