An Epiphany Or Gestalt Moment

farmerart
I was a speaker at an industry function last night. The emcee introduced me thusly: 'It is always a pleasure to have art as a speaker at these forums because his booming voice allows us to dispense with our elderly sound system and microphone.'

OMG! My gestalt moment was this: Is it my voice that makes me seem creepy to so many dancers that I approach in SCs?

I was blessed (or cursed) at birth with a booming voice and it has been an important communication device for me as I gave orders and direction to employees over the cacophony of noise associated with oil exploration. My hearing is now impaired as a result of not using ear protection against that noise for much of my career. Hearing impairment = even louder voice.

Much communication in SCs is sotto voce when the iffier aspects of VIP dances are discussed. I understand how a loud voice discussing these topics could creep out even a 'willing' dancer.

I think that this 65 year old dog must learn a new trick or two.

    I don't think a booming voice would be viewed as creepy. It seems more associated with openness and honesty.

    Art, just picture yourself the most interesting man in the oil patch.

    You don't always drink wine, but when you do you drink Bordeaux.

    Nah, FA drinks Virgin Caesars!

    Sorry fa, it was just too tempting to resist! Actually, that and the fully alcoholic version both sound good - a Bloody Mary with clam juice.

    A good speaking voice is always beneficial. Combined with the well-spoken quality you possess, it projects a sense authority. I'm sure it has served you well when you're working hard, and when you're hardly working (in strip clubs).

    Art:

    I suggest that you learn ASL, American Sign Language for communicating your sexual needs and interests with dancers in a noisy strip club environment.

    Of course I have no idea what the sign is for BBBJCIMNS, but I'm getting a wry smile imagining the sign language demo of this request and the sign language reply from the dancer.

    If that doesn't work, carry an ipad or iphone into the club and queue up a favorite porn scene to help the dancer understand your request.

    A solid command voice is awesome to have, in places like work. I wasn't blessed with one, so I had to work on it a bit. In the strip club, it could definitely be off-putting, if your voice is especially loud and penetrating (ha ha! I said penetrating!). Remember Vavoom from the old Felix the Cat cartoons? My ATF and I call guys like that Vavooms :) Anyway, rather than the ASL suggestion above, I propose you communicate youro desires via interpretative dance. Which will certainly make the BBBJCIMWS discussion a lot more fun
