Why, you caught me monologuing

 --- begin----


   Hmph, a monologue.

    Worse than that, a "two minute monologue." That assumes a spoken presentation. That would make sense if the source was a ' How to make a Podcast,' but I was under the impression that it was instead a ' Get your creative juices flowing' series. And I plan to continue using it as such.

    As to a 'Spoken Word' presentation? That has never been my strength. My voice wasn't 'cute' in youth, and now it's"Ancient Tones" do not evoke the melody or charisma to keep an audience engaged.

   Add to this breathing issues of treatable Apnea, that makes my breathing awkwardly noticable in recordings... Making those recordings feel a killer or stalker from old procedural TV shows' voice overs. 

     Not wanting to convey that creepy feeling reminiscent of any crime drama; (from Streets of San Francisco to the current CSI shows, and half the slashers films in between;) I won't subject you to that. Maybe if I can figure out how to filter or disguise it, but not now.

     Besides, compared to our hosts, 'none can match the flavor and simple beauty of the original.' And they are the original podcast content creators from my limited experience, as Welcome to Night Vale was my first podcast experience.

Okay so Assignment#2 was a '2 minute monologue with 3 randomly generated inclusions.

1 Bluegrass Title -- " Ancient Tones"

2 US City -- " San Francisco"

3 A Phrase from a ' Best Food's description' -- " none match the flavor and simple beauty of the original."

And I am already not sure of my own tentative rules... Modification to be that I can skip forward if the assignment is either irrelevant or quarantine/situationally unreasonable.

Done for now..
