A Voice For Radio

Published on June 30, 2009 By MasonM In Blogging

I'm hanging out in a motel in Amarillo. There's a bar next door, The Buckles Western Bar, and I was in there enjoying a few adult beverages. Tomorrow morning I'll be picking up some transformers in Lubbock going to Dallas. Not a long run but it pays well.

While in the bar I was shooting the shit with my fellow patrons, most of them truckers.One guy told me I had the perfect voice for radio and another agreed. My voice is my voice, such as it is. This isn't the first time I've been told this. I guess my voice does carry well so it probably would be ok for radio. Maybe I've missed my calling, who knows?

I do know I have the perfect face for radio.

I think it would be kind of cool to do a radio show. I wouldn't pass up the chance to do so. Somehow I doubt anyone would be interested in anything I had to say though.

I wonder what you'd sound like Strange how even if you never really think about it you tend to have a certain image of someone you've never met in your head

You can probably do a weekly mason's trucking adventures podcast, play a few tunes, pick some great stories from your years on the road

Hmmm and the discussion of interest isn't really an issue is it, seeing as you're 5th leading user on the site?

That's easy. Just check Youtube for my videos from the road under the name TheSaddleTramp.

You sound just like I thought you would, sort of a Tom Bodett kind of voice. "we'll keep the light on for you."

Of course I had seen your home videos too. I would listen to you on the radio!

checked it out Mason. Ya, you do have a good radio voice. It's not too late! Maybe you could do some good talk radio. If so, I could come on and stir the pot a bit and help your ratings...

or maybe you could join a barbershop quartet.

That reminds me. I sent one to serenade my husband. You can check that out here; part 1 of two parts.
