I just had the coolest dream
A bunch of other people and I were infiltrating a large theme restaurant (or something like that) with vast outdoor dining areas. They had a bunch of people in costumes who would serve guests as mascot characters. All the costumes were out at the cleaners until 8pm, and none of us infiltrators could find one. It was 7:55, so I approached the head waitress and said that I'd appreciate it if she got me a costume, because I found it hard to act without one; I just felt too much like, well, me.
She agreed, and was about to find me one, when someone came into the outdoor dining area calling my name. He or she found me and told me that it was time for my presentation. The convention was at the theater complex directly to the west of the restaurant, which explains why I'd been at the restaurant, and why I was (suddenly) wearing my nice white dress shirt.
I ran in the north stage entrance just as my name was announced, and held the microphone to my chin. I was immediatly greeted with a squeal from the sound system; I grimaced. Apparently it was a Q&A session, because someone asked me a question; I responded. Then someone asked about the voice cadence I'd used in that clip. They played the clip; it was an action cartoon like Hellboy or something, and my character spoke one word in a sort of quavering incredulity because a character like Abe Sapien had me pinned down with a sword at my throat: "Motherfucker."
Everyone laughed. I said that I didn't know what I'd been thinking, and (as I turned to watch the character onscreen, he turned and looked at the audience) said in a quavering and high-pitched improv voice that I didn't know I was a real one! (Voice actor, that is.) Everyone laughed and applauded. I tried to remember how I'd gotten the gig in the first place. As I realized I could probably be a guest voice on MLPFiM I
woke up. |
