OK, before I ask my question, I have to say that I listen to Bullseye & JJGo religiously, to the point that I can hear your voice in my head as I read your comments in this AMA. JJGo is one of the best comedy/fellas talking podcasts I've ever heard, and Bullseye rivals This American Life and Radiolab as one of the greatest radio shows/podcasts out there right now. I've learned about so many great musicians - Pharaohe Monch, the Gap Band, I could go on. Oh, and sometimes your outshots make me weep like a little girl (The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations' Millennium General Assembly, anyone?). So thank you for everything you do.
Anyway, I have this idea for a podcast that plays like a retrospective of a fictional record company stretching from the early days of rock'n'roll to the modern era. I've got fake bands, fake songs, all that stuff. But I need to get that real deep radio voice. Do you do any sort of vocal exercises, or are you just naturally endowed with that buttery-smooth baritone? And what microphones do you use/suggest?
