Okay, if you were to tell your life story, who would you have narrate it and why?
Have fun with this it is hilarious to see what people come up with.
I would have Marilyn Monroe narrate mine just because everybody would think of that sexy, girlie voice when they thought of my life story!Haha!
Noone
David Aaron Baker. He narrates the Odd Thomas books and I thik he'd do a good job with the humor in my story.
How about Mike Rowe, the guy who narrates Dirty Jobs and Deadliest Catch.
Bugs Bunny.
I was having a bad day...like, a rant-worthy day...until I read that, Wayne. Thanks for making me smile.
hmmm I think Dane Cook would narrate my life. haha.
oh leo mike roe can narrate anything he wants. my life fine,. my manual for my dish washer, take it away boy. what a hot voice he has!!!
I'm with imp on this one. plain and simple. no one.
Smile.
Janeane Garofalo, who played Heather Mooney in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion
or
Sandra Bullock.
If you don't want anyone to narate your life why'd you bother replying?
Because we can?
exactly.
Fare enough, lol.
I would rather tell my own life story. It wouldn't have the same affect if it was told by someone else. They may know what to emphasize and which events were most significant, but that isn't enough. I used to contemplate writing a book about my life when I was in high school, but as far as I know I still have many years ahead of me before considering this and what if something big happens to me after I write it. Plus I haven't really had the time lately to do much outside of schoolwork and trying to stay in shape.
Ryan makes a great point, in his last post. I wholeheartedly agree that no one can tell a story better than the one whose story it is.
Ah, but old Bugs could tell mine funnier than me, and entertainment is the key. A boring life story doesn't get heard. If I'm going to have mine told, I want it heard!
Lol.
Hmmm I guess it would be better if I told my own story. It makes sense...
I was thinking Porky Pig because my entire life has been "Looney Tunes". (wink)
It depends on how you want your story to be presented. If you want it to be more comical it would make sense to have one of the mentioned people say it. It also depends on what interests the person who reads it, if they would find it boring. You might find your life to be boring, but another person might find it inspirational. Or I guess in this case it would come down to who was telling it. It could still make a statement, though.
Porky pig would stutter the whole time though.
maybe some would find that humorous. you never know. I wouldn't, but different strokes for different folks, perhaps.
I would have Michael Shannon read my life story as seriously angry and hilarious as the sorority letter rant he read.
For those who aren't familiar with his voice, here's the link:

nice and i would have to say bugs bunny as he is a favourite character of mine, smiles.
i would pick morgan freeman, or the actor who played darth vadar.they are both good prose readers. with all the crap i have been through they make good dramatical readers.
Geen Shepeard might be good but I still think using my own voice would make sense.
fair enough, smiles
I would do it myself. I've always wanted to write a book about my life, or heck, maybe a series, my life's been so crazy!! I still haven't given up on that idea, so who knows. But I'd tell it myself.
probably michael croffer (nls reader of atlas shrugged) or christopher hurt (professional reader of atlas shrugged) if tee can both charm me and hold my interest for a very long boring read on political commentary then, they can read mine. and both of them would give me an excellent tone. if they can read it like the tones and attitudes they useed to read dagny or john galt, it'll be `perfect, and the little situations in my life amongst the boring they could also handle really well.
you know, another person who'd give my life story a nice point of view is glenn beck. I can imagine the passions he could give my passions. and his energy is awesome for such a narrative.
I suppose Morgan Freeman could give a third person Narative of my life. There aren't any females I would like to narrate my life in first person, so,
I want to be dead and gone when that happens.
Otherwise I am around to hear and contradict what is said. While in fact the person closest to the source is not always the best option, so yeah, an unbiased rendition.
jean shepherd is dead. sorry folks. when I was younger he could do my life, but mike rowe is still the man for me. if I narrated my life, my voice would drive the poor listener crazy. it's so husky, loud, and I've been told whatever I say sounds like I'm talking to teeny weeny pre school kids.
Lol Turricane. Can't be as bad as being told I always sound like I don't care. Lol people couldn't bother listening to mine if I told it.
I can picture the Audible reviews right now! LOL
I think I would have fun reading my life story, largely because I used to practice reading books into tapes and, to be honest, I wasn't half bad!
If I were to get a commercial narrator to read it, I would probably want Elizabeth Evans, Kathleen Gati, Stina Nielsen, or Kathe Mazur. These are all talented female narrators who are, at this point, young enough to be able to describe my life well but old enough(with the possible exception of Sands) to not sound like I'm stuck in Jr. high.
perhaps because my life story would be written in first person, I wouldn't want a male narrator...
Kate
People would tire of my own narration of my life. I do not tend to be able to read from books and sound natural. Imagine those rather monotone or the individuals who emphasize words awkwardly, that's me as well.
