This Is Me Talking


Over the weekend we recorded the first of hopefully many conference calls for MetsDaily.com's "In The Studio" feature. Myself, along with Andrew from Chuck N Duck and Mike from The Metropolitans, were tossed some softball questions about the upcoming Mets season, and basically all said the same things.

It was fun, though, and I look forward to doing it again. You can hear the call directly by clicking this link, or just visit metsdaily.com to click the link there. I haven't listened to it myself because I'm horrified by the sound of my own voice, but definitely go check it out. I'm open to critique, so please feel free to submit advice on how I should make less of a fool out of myself next time. Cheers!

I noticed by the link that it's in real audio format. If it were in MP3 then I could download it to my MP3 player and listen to it on the bus. Alot of people do that kind of thing. It's called 'podcasting'. Just a suggestion.

I hate hearing the sound of my voice too. I listened to it and crigned. The cold didn't help either. Can you tell I do not have the voice for radio?

David -

It's a good point. We don't encode it ourselves, we're just talking heads. I'll talk to Joh from metsdaily.com to see if he could make it available in MP3 format.

Eric, Mike, don't you worry about a thing. You both sounded very sexy. I couldn't help but rub myself for the entire interview.

And Mike, as for you not having a voice for radio, remember that Chris Russo is making six figures working in radio, and he practically has a speech impediment.

I think we all came off well. I was happy with the finished product, although there's some kind of weird feedbacky noise whenever you talk. So don't worry about hearing your voice, you can spend the whole interview going, "Why is it doing that?"
