So, You Wanna Be In SHOWBIZ??? (Radio FR Comedy Show Needs Character Voices)

Self | April 7, 2003 | PJ-Comix

[PJ-Comix]

Who doesn’t want to be in Show Business? Let’s face it. We ALL have a bit of Lucy Ricardo in us. Remember the many scenes of Lucy scheming to break into show business on the sly only to be eventually discovered by her husband, Ricky, who inevitably yelled “LUUUUCEEEEEE!” in frustration at her antics?

Well, you now actually have the opportunity to break into show business yourselves. Radio FR will begin broadcasting Comedy Shows in a few weeks. The shows will be produced by Bob J and the incredibly ingenious comedy scripts will be written by a certain Freeper whose name I am much too (BLUSH!) humble to name.

We need people who can do voices of various people in the news. I will list some of the voices needed below but the most important voice, since he will be a recurring character, is that of Al Franken. Whoever does an impersonation of Franken’s voice will need to be available to work on almost every radio show.

For the first show (due to be on the Web in a few weeks) we need the voice of a pompous Brit (authentic British accent preferred), John Kerry (preppy Boston voice), and Mrs. Teresa Heinz (Italian accent needed).

Okay, those are the voices we need right away but below is a partial list of voices that will be needed in the future. If you can do any of these voices or can tell us of another famous voice you can do, either FreepMail me or Bob J:

Bill Clinton

Hillary Clinton

Bob Dole

Joe Lieberman

Al Sharpton

John Edwards

Tom Daschle

Chemical Ali (actually anybody who can do an Arabic accent for various roles such as Saddam Hussein, Baghdad Bob, etc.)

Fidel Castro

James Carville (or should I say Cahville?)

Mrs. Saddam Hussein (I don’t know why but it would be funny for this voice to have a Brooklyn accent. This voice can also be used as Mrs. Osama Bin Laden and others as well).

Maxine Waters (voice full of bile which makes it funny as hell)

Barney Frank (or should I say Bawney Fwank?)

Arrogant French Voice (can be used in numerous situations involving the French)

Donald Rumsfeld

Howard Stern (Practice saying “I wanna paint your breasts green, Hillary.”)

G. Gordon Liddy (Practice saying, “I eat barbecued rat meat and I LOVE IT!!!”)

Jimmy Carter

Arianna Huffington (Just listen to tapes of Zsa Zsa Gabor---It’s the same thing)

These are just a few of the voices needed. If you can do other famous voices, please let us (myself or Bob J) know.

p.s. And, hey, we can always use Lucy and Ricky Ricardo voices! Why not?

[PJ-Comix]

Don't be shy. Indulge your Showbiz Cravings and Freepmail Bob J or myself with info as to what character voices you can do. There will be auditions.

[cmsgop]

Jhoffa can do Sammy and Frodo !

Bump for a good idea

[PJ-Comix]

Can he do Jimmy Hoffa?

[Jhoffa_]

LOL!

Do you really want the FCC to raid Radio FR?

[Born in a Rage]

Sounds great :-) Well, if you ever need a young sounding voice in the future, let me know. I can't tell you how many times I pick up the phone and get asked if my 'mommy' or 'daddy' are home! Have fun!

[Jhoffa_]

I'm doing him right now.. cantcha tell?

[StriperSniper]

Howard Stern (Practice saying “I wanna paint your breasts green, Hillary.”)

He wouldn't give her the pleasure.

[TheyConvictedOglethorpe]

I should get in on this. Everybody says I have a great face for radio.

[RightOnline]

OK OK, if you insist............:)

[PJ-Comix]

True story. When I was around eight years old I was introduced to George Meany. I didn't remember him then because he was president of the AFL-CIO but because he was eating spaghetti at the same time he was smoking a big cigar. Oh, and he had a distinctive growling voice.

[Captainpaintball]

It is rumored that Captain Paintball is not just a master of Paintball ...

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Bump ...maybe.

[Focault's Pendulum]

Arrogant French Voice (can be used in numerous situations involving the French)

I do a Clouseau with a sound like he has a post nasal drip after having had a dull bayonet shoved up his butt.....will that do?

I can also do an authentic Brit who sounds like he has had a post nasal drip shoved up his butt. Sort of like the French Guy accent sans the whining.

[solzhenitsyn]

No, I can't do the voices, but what a fantastic idea! Can't wait to hear the first production, PJ! It would really be cool if you could make tapes that guys like Rush and Howie Carr could play on their shows.

[PJ-Comix]

It would be best if the impersonator have a real British accent to start with and then add in a pompous voice. Don't we have Freepers here with real Brit accents?

[PJ-Comix]

It would really be cool if you could make tapes that guys like Rush and Howie Carr could play on their shows.

Quit reading my mind!!!

[PackerBoy]

I would like to think I can do several of your characters. But how do I provide you with evidence of that?

[PJ-Comix]

I do a Clouseau with a sound like he has a post nasal drip after having had a dull bayonet shoved up his butt.....will that do?

How about Jacques Cousteau? I used to do a great Jaques Cousteau voice speaking romantically about the marine animals he encountered (French accent):

"Ze beautiful squid! Ze way they swim so alluringly in ze water as if to beckon me to make love to them all!"

[PJ-Comix]

I would like to think I can do several of your characters. But how do I provide you with evidence of that?

FreepMail me or Bob J with info on which voices you can do. Bob J has a gizmo where he can hear your character voices.

p.s. Remember everybody, we need Al Franken, the pompous Brit voice, John Kerry, and Teresa Heinz right away. Al Franken voice is most important since he will be used the most and in just about every show.

[Focault's Pendulum]

"Ze beautiful squid! Ze way they swim so alluringly in ze water as if to beckon me to make love to them all!"

Ok...here goes...

"Ze beautiful squid! Ze way they swim so alluringly in ze water as if to beckon me to make love to them all!.....O Tay Panky...I surrender."

Thank you...and I hope I passed the audition.
