Twitterings and Witterings.
When we’re not voicing, parenting, keeping the house tidy (well, when I say ‘we’, I do of course mean ‘I’ when it comes to keeping the house tidy) we’re trying to get our heads around Twitter – since our own site was redesigned, we’ve been signed up, and it’s taking a while to get used to. We’ve been keen Facebookers for a few years now, but set up the Sayer Hamilton page when this site was developed. (Feel free to join us and keep in touch with what we’re up to, by the way, but we promise not to update too often – nobody likes a clogged-up News Feed, now, do they?)
I’m still not quite sure if I really ‘get’ Twitter yet, and feel like the only voice talent in the industry who isn’t updating their feed on a daily basis. I always feel as if I HAVE to say something about the day’s work I’ve just done (or am about to do). Then, I wonder if anyone is remotely interested, or if I sound as if I’m boasting when there’s been a nice tasty job on the table. And if there HASN’T been a massive job that day (nobody is that busy all the time… er, are they?) well, what do I say then? Then, I think – well, they DO care; that’s why they’re following us. Why else would they? And then, I think, I have a house to tidy, children to collect from school, a dead mouse to remove from the office floor which the cat has so charitably brought in for us, and a new conservatory/pair of shoes at crazy discounted prices/club anthem album which I haven’t got but I must pretend I need and talk about enthusiastically into a microphone… so when all those jobs are done, I just tweet about them… and hope somebody, somewhere enjoys what they read – almost as much as I hope that people enjoy what they hear.
