It depends on whether they laugh.

Sometimes you take a risk in comedy. The risk is real. The choice is yours.

You must choose. But choose…wisely

Humor is like baseball. If you hit 1/3 of the time you're doing amazingly well

I keep reading this with different vocal archetypes like radio-announcer, in-a-world, Shatner, Schrute, etc. Can you tell me what your inner head voice sounds like?

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's a really fun question. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of a Henry Rollins or a Dan Harmon, with just an amuse bouche of Paul Reubens. HA HA!
