Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.
I’ll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.
From my immediate environment? I sit on the toilet, the toilet does not sit on me.
For now
Also I wip with the TP The TP doesn’t wipe with me
Get close enough to me in a very quiet area, specifically close to my heart, and you will hear ticking noises. Freaked out my older brother once because of that scenario. Mechanical heart valve.
I have a “unique” accent of some kind. Basically, I don’t sound like I’m from “around here”, even though I have lived in the same area for my entire life and so have my parents. Probably because I read a lot more than I actually talk to people.
I always think I stand out but I probably don’t.
Have you tried barefoot shoes?
Nice try, NSA.
i don’t
i just let out a giant fart
I’m a 6’ 4" albino with a foot long beard.
Do you have a quest for me?
What makes you stand out?
Standing up
I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt that’s a good thing, as all it’s done is get me in trouble.
Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. “Start a podcast!” they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.
You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.
You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.
Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.
I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.
One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don’t know how much they pay.
Yes, me too! The justice part. I am very principled. And it is something that I, sometimes (?) hate about myself. I think it mostly drives people away.
I figure many people on Lemmy are the same in that regard, very principled people.
Are you vegan?
No, but I (kinda) get it.
Tall. Beard. Green eyes.
Nothing. I avoid going outside as much as possible and I’m wearing earbuds all the time. So people leave me alone.
I have a forked tongue
I bet it’s fun for two people with forked tongues to kiss. There’s a lot more you can do.
I’m a pretty good engineer. Not the best I’ve ever met by a long shot, but I’m good. But I’m very outgoing for an engineer.
Ironically, that’d describe both my parents too.
I’m currently taller and very much paler than those who grew up in this area.
