The Babylon Lane Tales 2012
This week I am being dragged, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century by the MAD Blog Award people. To my horror, I've been asked to produce a short video of me telling you lovely folk what The Babylon Lane Tales is all about and why you should vote for me in the awards.
Sounds simple? Well it isn't.
When faced with public speaking/recording/strangers I become an inarticulate, mumbling baffoon. This usually results in me curling myself into a ball of snooty aloofness, which would make you all recoil and try to rescind any votes you may have already thrown in my general direction.(And I know I do this, all my friends laugh at how they thought I was bit stuck up when they first met me. I'm not stuck up, I promise. I'm just shy to the point of dumbness.)
I didn't want to let the MAD people or myself down with my silliness. So I've had a go at it. And yes, I have bent the request to bypass my bashful affliction, but please ignore this and instead notice that I have actually cleaned the house. Properly. With products and everything.
Since posting the original version on youtube last night, I've had some professional help. (No, not that sort of help, although it is evidently needed.)
The rather lovely David Monteath volunteered to produce taglines for the video. How kind is that?
David is a professional voiceover-y/actor-y type, so I'm sure you'll all agree he brings a certain class to the proceedings and sort of puts the rest of the video to shame. Go here for David's website.
Enjoy.
Oh, and vote please. After all I did clean for you. Quid pro quo.
