Revan and Malak (they never told me which is which, and Revan had forgotten his DARK LORD name tag) let me know that they’ve posted the radio interview I did at CONduit on their web site. Anyone who is interested can listen to it, along with the rest of their live-at-CONduit broadcast, here. They even bill me in the episode description, kind of guest of honor thing. Very nice of them. And don’t let that lower your expectations too mightily, hear me?

In conjunction with this interview—and those that follow—I’d like to play a little game called Who Am I? I’ve heard it said that when you hear yourself on the radio it’s shocking, because you hear your voice the way that everyone else hears you. That made me curious, so I’d like to know who I sound like if I don’t sound like me. If anyone listens to the interview and hears my voice, please tell me who I sound like. Don’t say I sound like me, those who know; I simply won’t stand for it. You may say I sound like Sean Connery, only ex- the Scottish accent and sexier; or James Earl Jones, only thinner and sexier; or Charlize Theron, only bearded and sexier; or even Donald Duck—though in this instance the sexier bit is mandatory. Don’t make too much of this; just when you listen to my interviews, who is the first person that immediately comes to mind when you hear my voice? I’d really like to know. (Here’s fingers crossed for a great suave bass, someone like Gregory Peck—and not Phyllis Diller!)

Hee hee hee, Phyllis Diller. That cracks me up!

I know what you mean about not recognizing your voice on tape. I just heard myself on TV and was shocked that I really do have a soft voice. No wonder everyone keeps asking me to repeat myself.

But if you must know the truth, you sound like my neighbor Paul. It’s okay, he’s cool.

So… I’m some guy named Paul? Okay, what does Paul sound like?

And I mean no disrespect to Phyllis Diller because, to my knowledge, she’s still alive, and I’m pretty sure that if things ever got messy between us she’d take me. Plus she laughs really loudly, and I like women who laugh loud. So don’t worry if you speak softly, Carolyn; just make sure you can chuckle at high decibels.

Fun interview! Hmm…you sound like a good-looking college employee who helped me track down a missing English assignment one time back in my community college days. (Sigh) Too bad you can’t time travel in real life.

Clint May 28, 2009

Maybe YOU can’t time travel in real life….

And I’m sorry, that can’t have been me. While the “good-looking” part is excessively appropriate, the “helped me” bit is stone cold proof. Couldn’t have been me. I just don’t do that kind of thing.

Actually, I do time travel – it’s called dreaming.

My mistake, long time ago and I tend to confuse voices and people. But you’re welcome to keep the good-looking part, even if I was wrong about the other. “Excessively appropriate”? Love it!

Okay, I have been practicing my Maw ha has. But I keep freaking people out, so I’m going to have to tone it down a little.

Carolyn V. May 30, 2009

Oh, It should be mwa ha ha’s, but whatcha gonna do after you press that submit button?

L.T. Elliot May 31, 2009

You have a very nice voice, Clint. Nothing like Phyllis!

Clint June 1, 2009

No, you will not tone it down a little! That would defeat the whole purpose. If you send a few skittish souls scurrying, consider it an added bonus—but don’t you dare retreat back to a standard girlish giggle.

Clint June 1, 2009

Why thank you, L.T.

Poor Phyllis.
