I wanted to get a very raspy, post-apocalyptic dystopia voice for the narration of this episode. Fortunately I\u2019ve had some prior experience in how to do that, but it required some help from friends. First, I gathered a lot of them in a confined space and we all talked loudly for many hours, in order to put a lot of prolonged stress on my vocal cords. While doing that I drank a fair bit of alcohol, to really dehydrate me and get that authentic \u201cWater is a scarce resource\u201d sound. And I even choked down a couple cigarettes, to really rough up the airways. Finally I went to bed and slept several hours, to let all the abuse settle in and develop into that hoarse, dying sound.<\/p>\n
This was in no way a party. Not even a little bit. At all.<\/p>\n
Yeah ok, I threw a party. But I timed it to coincide with the recording of this episode, cuz I knew the effect it has on my voice the next day. #ForTheArt.<\/p>\n

In other news, Phil and Kaja Foglio of Girl Genius<\/a>\u00a0are the NICEST PEOPLE EVER. Not only did they agree to record a few lines for some random con-goer’s podcast that they’d never heard of, BUT after he fucked up and had to come back a couple hours later begging them to do it again, they graciously did so!!! OMG SO HAPPY! And they were so cool about it all! Come Jan\/Feb when all the updates are finalized and uploaded, their voices will be included!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I wanted to get a very raspy, post-apocalyptic dystopia voice for the narration of this episode.
