Did any bombcast listeners ever imagine what the faces looked like just based on how the voices sounded before they had ever seen any pictures to finally put a facial image to the voice (if they've even seen the pictures of the bombcast crew)? Like for instance, and I honestly wonder how many people will agree with me or think back to their first experience listening to Mr. Brad Shoemaker's voice... and imagine this and see if they agree. But the friend who introduced me to the Bombcast told me to listen to it and after I had he told me that when he hears Brad's voice he immediately pictured a dude with a handlebar moustache. I thought about it and was like yeah I could see that.. then when I went back and listened to it the next time, I couldn't get a picture of anyone in my head that didn't have a handlebar moustache. It would be like hearing Sam Elliot's voice if you'd never seen the guy, you'd have to picture him the way he looks... maybe it's just me. Anyone have any interesting thoughts our stories in a similar vein?
Imagining faces to voices...
When I first went back and listened to the old episodes of the Hotspot, I imagined Rich Gallup as a stoner man with wavy hair and stubble. I don't remember what I thought of the other's though.
I knew what they looked like from Gamespot.Same. Would have been fun to guess though. I feel cheated.
There's this radio station in Seattle, and just going by the voice of the DJ, I thought for sure he would look like that guy who hosted 'Dinner and a Movie' on TBS.
Turns out, he doesn't look anything like that. There's a bit of truth to the saying, "He has a face for radio".
The first three Bombcasts I listened to had one person chance every time because of things going on. I tried to look up pictures to help me familiarize myself with the crew and follow conversions better, but got seriously confused due to that shuffling. Went a while with Dave's face attached to Vinny's voice.
The first time I listened to the bombcast I imagined Ryan being a small dude, I don't know why I just had that mental picture and Brad was some guy with a mountain man beard for some reason and a square jaw line in my mind.Yeah Brad has the voice of a Mountain Man. It's sexy. >:P
