On Friday I took a job as commentator for a robot cooking competition. I also covered the other events in the X-treme Machine Challenge, and gave helpful spelling guidance and proofreading.
I was surprised to find that I’m quite competent at voice acting. Up until now I have only had a small rôle saying “What a mess!” in a slurpy slug voice for Soup. My slurpy slug voice was highly praised, but I never thought I was good enough for a big part. But the commentator rôle turned out to be the main voice in X-treme Machine Challenge, and once we got into it it turned out that about half the time Vahid and Maile liked the very first take of each line I did.
