Hold that thought · 6:14am May 10th, 2012
Due to the fact that I have real life work today (le gasp!) the grand promises I made in my last blog post may take a little while to deliver. In the meantime, here's a gag dub of me reading a chapter from the drabble collection I would've been fobbing you off with, and showing exactly why I am not a voice actor. Feel that raging storm of emotion, folks. When I said I was British...
Wow, it's interesting hearing your voice. (not in a bad way though)
And good luck with real life!

However, now whenever I comment on anything, you'll hear it being said in ridiculously calm British-o-vision.
108146
You know what? That just makes things even better! Now I can imagine a British Rainbow laugh.
108155
...My mind. It cannot comprehend this. I cannot even imagine what that would sound like.
108166
It takes a bit of work, but I'm using the first episode as a reference.
108172 Oh man, I can't stop laughing at this. I can't even load the video and i'm now imagining British Dash and British Pinkie. Especially Pinkie. You have done well this day, UO.
Okay, that intro cements your status as awesome, Vulpine.
108172
Practically the only voice clip I can imagine rendering well into my voice? "Yay!"
108182
But of course. I couldn't let the internet get enjoy itself without a firm rebuttal, good sir.
108189 Indeed. Announcing your Britishness was a nice touch, too.
108195
It's from an in-joke I had with a few friends. "I'm X, and you're listening to X". It just has such great potential. "I'm Swiss Cheese, and you're listening to Barack Obama drop-kick a head of cabbage. Have a lovely evening."

We're in agreement then: Vulpine's awesome, and British Dash is great.
108199 Makes perfect sense to me.
108204
More sense than his economic policy, or so I'm told.
108203
No love for British Fluttershy? You're going to love her, you know.
108212 British Fluttershy would be squeaky AND British. That's like, twice as awesome.
108212
Yes! British Fluttershy would be awesome. Somebody needs to British-ify all the ponies.

...I SMELL CRACK FIC
Hah, for some reason I was expecting a Brum accent after your post, but you are indeed the pinnacle of Received Pronunciation.
108248
...What. Those are some pretty sharp guessing powers you've got there! I live in Leicestershire, which is actually really close to Birmingham in some places- so, you get people here who may as well have full on Brummie accents. The question is how I somehow managed to dodge not only that, but also most of the actual Leicester accent as well- and all whilst ending up inexplicably posh.
108252
<gasp> My powers increase!
I can only assume that you were like me and watched a lot of Blue Peter and other BBC-produced children's programming. I'm told I sounded English for the first few speaking years of my life.
I kinda really love how you MSTed your own reading. Self-deprecating humor is best humor.
108297
Nah, I never watched Blue Peter. I was always one of the kids who'd sit there for four hours watching cartoons, so I guess the REAL inexplicable thing is why I don't exactly like Bugs Bunny.

It's the only humour I have. Luckily, there's plenty of stuff worth depreciating.
