In his My Life Just Got Very WEIRD blog entry, BIZARRO cartoonist Dan Piraro talks about his friend Jon Kroll, who wanted something from him: his (Dan's) voice.
Mr. Kroll is a TV producer who was looking for an announcer for a new TV show. He's a friend of Dan's and always liked his voice. Dan was one of at least 100 people sending in audition tapes:
"After submitting my home-made tape (on my laptop with an inexpensive microphone I use for recording my songs) they called me in for an interview and another round of auditions. This process went on for weeks and I submitted who-knows-how-many tapes. I made the cut to the final three and they brought each of us to a professional sound studio for one last audition. Somehow, and this is only the beginning of the weird part, I got the job!"
