just flew a 3-day with "special radio voice guy"...

[Juniority]

Normally he sounds like a basic midwestern American upper middle class college-educated white-guy D-bag...

but, when he keys the mic his voice suddenly goes all gravel and east Texas twang. Sometimes it's gravel + nasal at the same time (didn't think that was even possible). Sometimes it's just the east Texas twang but it comes out sounding like he's got a face full of Novocain.

Cool story, bro!

Yes, yes, I'm sure you sound just like Anthony Hopkins.

Does he use the slang "what in the cornbread hell"?

No, I sound like what I am (I'm a basic midwestern American upper middle class college-educated ex-military white-guy D-bag), however, I don't do a "special radio voice" that sounds like a East Texan who's smoked 3 packs a day for 20 years.

I've noticed the Brits can really 'turn it up' when they need to also.

Slow day!!!!

Blame Slim Pickens. His character in "Dr. Strangelove" set the standard for what all pilots should sound like.
