Possible Career Choice - Disembodied Voice Scripter.

You know those movies where the building or ship has a disembodied voice giving out PSA's and warnings to people inside. You know, like:

"Warning! Base will self destruct in T-minus 10 seconds. Please proceed to the nearest evacuation point."

Yeah, like that.

Well I think I'd be good at writing the scripts for these voices. Just take a look at some past examples herehere and here.

I know, right?! I could totally do that. And if you're still not convinced just take a look at my most recent attempt from today's Sprocket Ink post. See what I mean for yourself. I could totally kick that job's ass!


So, if you're building a secret base, secret lab or battle/space ship, give me a call. If there's one thing you don't need is your less intelligent minions standing around during an attack and wondering what that annoying alarm sound is all about. Dumb as they are, you can't afford to waste money on minion retraining in this economic climate. Trust me.

  4. I could use a "WARNING! YOU ARE ALMOST OUT OF VODKA. PLEASE PROCEDE TO THE NEAREST LIQUOR STORE" voice thiger in my house.

  5. Loved the San Antonio prison post on Sprocket Ink. Do you think you could muster a "the spankerchief has exceeded maximum capacity" voice over? Not as dire as the ship exploding but still as necessary.

  6. Very interesting and rather creative idea for a job. I'd like the same warning thingy as Heather!

  7. Could have used a "Your life is about to EXPLODE" warning yesterday.

    But since that's passed... I've noticed the "Emergency Feed" directions on our automatic paper-towel dispenser has become nearly unreadable. Any interest there? I can talk to some folks...

  8. Am I really that transparent? I was hoping to spring it on the world in a couple of years and they'd be all taken by surprise. Back to the drawing board...
