Question:
How long did it take before you developed your "voice" as a comedian? Did you always have a similar style or has that developed over the years? How close is your stage persona now to your actual personality? and how obsessed do you have to be to become a successful stand-up?
Answers:
I really will admit... that I have never understood what a "voice" is for myself.. now I understand the general concept of what people are they to say with it.. like Sam Kinison had a voice and Eddie Izzard has a unique voice... its basically your style.
I will admit... I was basically born with a different style then most of my friends growing up... being complete addicted to extremely dry humor... I still cant really get enough of it. So in speaking about that it took me a while to learn how to deliver my "message" with a style where people would still catch everything I was saying.
Question 3:
"Obsessed" I think is putting it mildly... I dont know I could say it has to completely consume you... but that makes it sound strange and weird???!!? Also I wouldn't call myself a success yet.. so how the fuck do I know. But as long as I'm still enjoying myself .. then I'm going to keep laughing. I will say for me... I have easily watched every comedy DVD, and own and listened to every comedy CD at least 10-50 times. I can do almost every other comedians act in my sleep.
However do you have to do that to be good.. maybe not... but for me.. understanding the different aspects of delivery etc... its sure helped!
