**Nukeman** , I assume you mean my user name? It comes from Marion Zimmer Bradley’s “The Mists of Avalon.” If that’s where you thought it came from, then I must add that I do not identify at all with the character or what she did – I just liked her name. 🙂 ---

It’s actually a sedate NPR-like discussion of industry trends. Nothing that would be inappropriate for a work environment. Frankly, I find it a bit dry. ---

Ahem. My voice. It does all sorts of stuff depending on mood. I can do the 900 line deep, soft and sultry bit. I can do ultra professional. (I like playing with phone people, if I let a call through to my mom she usually gets asked about her private secretary. After they realize I am not my mom.) I can do a great valley girl. (Its the blond in me) I do childish, I do animal (purrrow) I do just about anything that won’t damage my voice. In general its pretty soft and furry, light ish. I sing soprano with a deep lightness, like a good folk singer’s voice. Or a folk singer with operatic training. Knew you were all dying to know. I envisions people’s textures more than ‘voice’ per se. Unless I have heard their voice. (paddy woo, DRY) silent rob is fuzzy, with a solidarity under it. Uncle Beer is round and sturdy, like a marble covered in suede. BlackKnight is forming like clay, twisting sculpture matt\_mcl is smooth with elegance but not stone strength Any more will take effort. ---

Ever hear a circular saw with a loose blade cutting hardwood? And find a hidden nail? Something like that, just not quite as smooth… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sk8rixtx \* > \*\*Ahem… someone?.. please?.. do me? \*\* Hmm. Had to go look up some of your posts, but it’s definitely a young but not “Hey, Dudish” kind of voice. Maybe John Cusack. ---
