My Secret Shame

I share it with you…
Recorded about ten years ago, and I just stumbled across it on the internets.

The World Wide Web, you can only hide your shame for so long.

You’re a butts scope? When did you decide on that as a career?

I’ll have to see it when I get home, but is it your colon?

Is that SFW or what?

Totally safe for work, and no it’s not my colon.

It’s an animation for a medical flash project, in which I voice the character of Sidney, the colonoscope, but you can call me Sid! (short for Sigmoidoscopy, get it?)

My first voice over job I had when I was working at the Air Force Academy.

Terrible, just terrible.

I don’t think I’ve seen something that streams with Windows Media Player in a long time. you should be embarrassed. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m actually impressed by your voice. I’m sure there are real voice artists out there that have had worse starting gigs.

Or are you a real voice artist? I could hear you doing voiceovers.

Hahaha, that is one of the best credits I’ve ever hear. “Well you know ladies, I did some professional acting once. I played a colonoscope.”

Have you ever done any other voice acting work?

I’m reminded of an English teacher I had in high school. He had two professional acting credits. One was as “Candy Dan,” a Willy Wonka rip off for a short film promoting Wolfgang Chocolates. The other was as the hangman in a made for TV movie about the Holocaust.

I think Sidney and Clippy are brothers.

I’m not sure ‘colonoscope’ is something you can list on your resume.
Penelope- “So, do you play a musical instrument?”
Johnny- “Not exactly…”

I have a few clips of this on my reel, so I guess I’m still using it to get gigs. This was the first “Multimedia” project I worked on when I was working at the Air Force Academy. They had done a CD-ROM about tonsillectomy for kids the year before, and wanted to use the same template for the colonoscopy project. I tried to talk them out of using a cartoon character, but their minds were made up. Sigh.

Took me quite a few takes to get through “Anal sphincter” without giggling like a 12 year old.
