AVMPC Ep 6 Ft. Chapter 32 LoE Teaser

AVMPC crosses the great 7 episode threshold with Part One of our interview with author A. D. Greer, playwright, director, and novelist.  Deep in the weeds on the process of writing, the business of entertainment, finding your audience, and finding a voice for each character.  How to bring in characters with different backgrounds, accents and cultural touchstones with sensitivity, authenticity and kindness.  Where to draw inspiration from.  How to continue to subvert genre norms to surprise, entice and engage the sometimes cynical modern audience. And much, much more!

"We Didn't Start Corona"
B. Joel parody by Ian Temple

Lyrics:
COVID-19, Wuhan,
Red China,  Orange Man,
Pandemic, Market Panic
Travel Plan’s A ‘NO’

National Emergency 
Elderly Care Urgency
Isolation, Masturbation,
Toilet Paper Rolls

Closed doors, empty stores,
No More shipments to our shores,
Stock Market takes a dive,
Cryptos are not far behind,

Where the hell’s a Vaccine? 
England’s got a new Queen!
Wet Market Still Alive,
Bat Porridge, Good-bye

We didn’t start Corona
Someone ate a bat, now we’re wearing Hazmats
We didn’t start Corona
No we can’t explain it but we’re tryn’a contain it

Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks,
Money for the big banks,
Dialator, Fibrilator, 
All out of stock

Roy Cohn’s little Don,
Merkel, Trudeau, Macron,
Xi Xin Ping all coughing around the clock.

Net-Surf, One-Hand,
Clicking tryna understand,
Novel Virus Super Pan,
Disney Plus no Disneyland,

Hulu, Netflix, 
Kids playing pickup sticks,
Dramamine ain’t a fix
when you’re on Princess Cruise Ships!

We didn’t start Corona
Someone ate a bat, now we’re wearing Hazmats
We didn’t start Corona
No we can’t explain it but we’re tryn’a contain it

D-C, N-Y, 
Washington and no-fly,
Andrew Yang’s UBI, 
CNN’s ‘How Dare You’ guy,

Every sneeze a drive-by,
Hashtag, #GonnaDie
Rudy - Go - bert,
Better Re- Apologize!

Museum, Colosseum, empty as a mausoleum
wa po huff po get to say the nay-no
Hoola Hoops, THC, Cheesy 80’s  parodies,
Social Distant Psycho Bidding on a Crossbow!

We didn’t start Corona
Someone ate a bat, now we’re wearing Hazmats
We didn’t start Corona
No we can’t explain it but we’re tryn’a contain it

Cancelled shows, cancelled plans,
Stranger in a strange land,
Reruns all done, 
heads-up, no fun.
   
Oil from arabia,
Saudi pumpamania,
no demand, prices stand, RIP to oil sands.

No Gym, no flex, 
Stingy Politician Checks,
China claimin’ C.I.A., 
What else do I hafta say?!

We didn’t start Corona
Someone ate a bat, now we’re wearing Hazmats
We didn’t start Corona
No we can’t explain it but we’re tryn’a contain it

Birth Control, Baby Boom
Gen Z Cringe o’ doom
Big Shots, Basic Thots 
Floodin’ into Tik Tok    

SARS  H1 B1, Swine, Fever on the airline 
No job, no plan, we’re still in Afghanistan

Divorce lawyers rubbin’ hands,
Heavy Metal Concept Bands,
Foreign Debts, Yellow Vests,
“One Puhcent” ,Bernie S.
Civil protests are no more,
Italy on martial law,
Boomer Toilet Paper wars,
I can’t take it any more!

We Didn’t Start Corona,
No-one tryn’a hire us with the China Virus
We Didn’t Start Corona,
When our symptom’s gone, 
can it still spread on, and on, and on, and on,
and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on,

We didn’t start Corona
Someone ate a bat, now we’re wearing Hazmats
We didn’t start Corona
No we can’t explain it but we’re tryn’a contain it

(Baby We didn’t Start Corona o-o-oh)

Ian Temple E - Submissions Script

Since graduating from SUNY Purchase's acting program, I have been obsessed with optimizing vocal communication as a singer, actor and writer.  

Having created, executive produced and co-starred in Lofty Dreams, a deeply personal sitcom now on Amazon Prime, I have long been obsessed with character, accents and stories.  

Further, I remain fascinated with the way these things are communicated with this "most miraculous organ", the human voice.

This podcast is created as one half of a conversation and an opportunity to serve the broader voice media community.  Please contact me through our website, ianvoiceover.com, and feel free to ask me anything.
