Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.
I’ll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.
Tall. Beard. Green eyes.
I have a forked tongue
Like a split tongue?
Yup
I once watched a guy with four lip rings and a split tongue smoke a cigarette. That was interesting to say the least.
I bet it’s fun for two people with forked tongues to kiss. There’s a lot more you can do.
Considering I’m in the most colonially-connected state in the US, everything. If someone saw me, their reaction would be how little I remind them of the hunt.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Thanks, Pipey.
I’ve got an outie
I’m 247.5 Oreo Cookies tall, that is many more Oreos than most, but not as many as some.
My big belly.
But actually my face, I’m European living in South Korea.
I have red curly hair and I tend to wear big hats and sunglasses in the summer, and I find that makes people (read: men) stare at me. Idk.
I’m also fanatically polite and nice in person, and people respond a lot. Bad manners is my pet peeve.
I’m Asian and live in rural Oregon.
I don’t know what part of the US Oregon is but i imagine Asians would always stand out in rural places
I’m currently taller and very much paler than those who grew up in this area.
I’m a 6’ 4" albino with a foot long beard.
Do you have a quest for me?
My beard
Right now? I’m a 6’2" pasty white guy in Asia (or Casper per my favourite overheard discussion).
I have been told, on multiple occasions, that I have a strong sense of justice. Somehow I doubt that’s a good thing, as all it’s done is get me in trouble.
Also have been told that I have a voice for radio. I was born about twenty years too late for that to be relevant, I always reply. “Start a podcast!” they say. I tell them I tried and it failed because I can read from a script great, but I have zero ability to be witty.
Are you vegan?
No, but I (kinda) get it.
Yes, me too! The justice part. I am very principled. And it is something that I, sometimes (?) hate about myself. I think it mostly drives people away.
I figure many people on Lemmy are the same in that regard, very principled people.
This sounds like something you could fix with practice. Maybe try reading books out loud. People with pleasant voices can also make audio books, although I don’t know how much they pay.
You should submit voice samples to casting agencies that land voice over talent for commercials, and other media formats.
You don’t need an agent or anything of the sort to get started, just a decent sample of your vocal work.
Get it submitted wherever you can, you’ll never know what might come of it.
I was a post production supervisor in Los Angeles for a bit. I worked with VO talent, many of whom had entirely separate careers.
One guy was a bus operator & rode his bus to the studio after shift change. He was awesome.
i just let out a giant fart
Get close enough to me in a very quiet area, specifically close to my heart, and you will hear ticking noises. Freaked out my older brother once because of that scenario. Mechanical heart valve.
Ohhhhhh that would freak me out.
