Shameful Self-Promotion
 

The title SHOULD be SHAMELESS :p

My Lily Tomlin story is up on the web!

I thought this deserved its own thread...because, well, it's Lily Tomlin, and me...in a story I produced.

Keep in mind we're a small operation...this is by no means a big NPR production - but I'm happy with it....

Since I'm "on the list" to meet her on Saturday - I'll post a pic on here...if I get one :p

The story can be found on the main page of our website:

- it's the second feature on our site :D

congrats girlfriend :woohoo: :blob1: :blob2:

I LOVE your voice! So professional sounding(I don't mean that in a bad way. You sound like you've been doing interviews all your life!).
Congrats!:woohoo:

sweet! very nice, dee! :thumbsup:

awesome. good for you!

Nice title! lol. Love the interview... And your American accent. :p

Very good! Great job!:thumbsup:

Nice interview :) "The Search For Signs..." is one of my favorites.

Thanks :o I always think I sound like a dope...but I appreciate the compliment...

And I appreciate all your kind words - I was very excited to even get this interview. And actually I've not done a produced piece like this in about a year - and I've never had to turn one around so fast, so overall I'm happy with the outcome.

People actually like American "accents"?

I already sent you a message, Dee, but I still haven't had a chance to listen. Soon.... like, when all the suits I work with go to their little hug fest at 8AM.

Good job! :thumbsup: Extra points for being able to say "lip puckered snorting operator." That's quite a tongue twister - for me, anyway.

very cool deanna! :nod:

That was great! You have a lovely radio voice. Be sure to fill us in on tomorrow night!

Oh you know it! I can't wait...I'm about to call right now to make sure I'm "on the list"

no. only kentucky ones :laugh:


ha. haha.

btw-great job d!!!

I knew what your voice sounded like already, but loved the interview:)

Boy - you're lucky you threw that in - if it had only been your prior post I would have gotten on your ass for threadjacking this brilliant thread :p

Just kidding....and thanks :o

I would never have posted and not commented on your interview :distress: :)



someone else's...maybe :laugh: :D

Well, someone else of COURSE! But ya can't do that to ME :p

I bought a whole new outfit (even shoes) today - I'm so excited...I really hope I get to meet her - so I can have a picture with her and my cute new outfit (and shoes)

I love new clothes :nod: and shoes. and purses, mostly. But I bought two new shirts the other day at that store i told you about. I can't wait to wear them :blob2: :blob2:

what does your outfit look like?? :D

You'll never believe where I bought my outfit...Kohl's :p

It's a cute brown skirt with a nifty pattern thing...the top is a knit top -tannish, with a ribbon around the waistish area that matches the skirt...the shoes...are heels. Very cute heels - I'm stepping out of my safety zone to wear them - which means with my luck I'm going to trip all over Lily Tomlin and injure either her, myself or both of us....:eek:

:lol: better start walking in them now :nod: I just bought some tall ass heels a couple of weeks ago and wore them out sat night.

i didn't break any bones, but I couldn't walk for 3 days because my legs were sore :laugh:

Oh I'm going to be dying tomorrow...I can foresee that. I can't remember the last time I wore heels, and these are higher than I've ever bought (though they're still not outrageous) - they just matched the outfit perfectly, I couldn't NOT buy them.

And my mom's here - so the outfit was free...for me, I only paid for the shoes, which were on sale :thumbsup:

OH!! that is even better!! My mom never buys clothes for me :mad:

Oh wow Deanna- how cool. You sound just like a professional newscaster- I love it! :woohoo:

Uh, she is!:lol:
It's hard to say that, without sounding bad!:) :wavey:

^^
:lol: Thanks, and thanks...I am, indeed, a professional newscaster, though not on par with like national people...but I'm ever-improving which is good - someday I will hopefully sound that good :D


Gawd..I'M not the one performing, but I'll nervous...only 1 hour 15 minutes til Lily!!

Lily sounds very nice. Just relax, and you'll be fine. Have a great evening!

How's this for a couple of hot dames? :p

:] :]

um. where are the heels?? :confused:


:lol:

just joking..sorta ....hehe...great pic!!!! :blob2:

Hee- I know! Which is why it's a good thing she sounds like one. :lol: Actually, I don't think I ever knew Deanna did newscasting. I knew she worked for NPR but didn't know in what capacity.


GREAT picture- hope your feet held up. :)

Great job, Deanna:nod:

My feet held up amazingly well....actually...not bad for my first time wearing heels in I can't even remember how many years.

The full-body shot is coming...we didn't get a full-body shot with Lily in it though - so I'll probably stick it in the picture thread :D

Hawt. I love Lily's sunglasses. And your hair rocks, srsly. :thumbsup:

^^

Thanks! I do enjoy my hair...and I also enjoyed her specs...as well as her, she was a very "huggy" celebrity...:nod:

And here is "the crazy shot" that's not actually so crazy. We were about to take it and Lily Tomlin said, "make a face" so I did....and she kind of did...but yeah...whatever...that's me...with her arm around me and vice versa...I'm not gonna complain about the stupid ass look on my face :p

Congrats Deanna. That's a great picture of you and Lily. I like your voice too!

Great job on the interview Deanna. You have the perfect news reporter voice - so clear and not fake a la Ted Baxter. Great pic also. How thrilling for you to meet her. Lily is great and I remember those Laugh In shows with Ernestine. I also loved her on West Wing.

^^

Thanks guys!

And she did do Ernestine...briefly, but it was funny. She's 67 now and has amazing energy on the stage...the woman is amazing, I'm still in awe of her...it was such a fun night. Aside from my mom hitting on her....did I tell that story? I'll go check...
