jeeeeeez it took long enough!

Waiting for the 24 in my NYC shoes...

just a little skype'n with Istanbul

It's an Em!

and then I had to take a nap

Walking home from Union Square... It was really hot today, but the clouds were lovely.

The long way home

All Simlished out on BART from SFO. I am tired, tired, TIRED! But what a rad day : )

Please sir, I want some more

I wasn't going to have a Guinness til I got back to Dublin, but that's a few months away still...Have an hour to kill before seeing "Oliver!" at 6th Street so why not enjoy a healthy beverage before listening to loads of orphans sing about glorious food and a cranky old scoundrel forcing kids to pickpocket on the streets of London? "Oliver!" was my first community theater production with Santa Rosa Players way back in 1987... I was one of those pickpockets, burning a cork to make soot for my face before the show. The dirtier the better! Ahhh what an opening to my theatrical experiences. I'm feelin nostalgic. It's gonna be fun!

Best description of my voice EVER

A few years ago I booked a video game off of voice123 - Obscure 2. It was unlike any character I had played before : a horror game - a bunch of teenagers in a messed up situation being chased by monsters. I can still remember the director telling me that I was "being raped by claws!" Ahhhhh!!!
It was a cool session because they were in Amsterdam and I was in Sausalito. I couldn't see them, didn't know their reactions. It was really a trip! All I could hear was them laughing after I did a take. It was kind of hard to know if I was giving them what they really wanted, but it sure was memorable. Definitely one of the most intense and fun gigs I've ever had!
Anyway, I found this blog today with the most AWESOMEST description of my voice.

"The truly remarkable Nicki Rapp, disembodied voice of cuteness (veteran of games like the Sims, Psychonauts and various cartoon shows), who had us all in stitches with her contagious laughing. If you search for it, her laughter is featured prominently early on in Obscure 2: it won’t do justice to the actual experience of sharing a joke with her and then hearing her giggle, but it’s the best next thing!"
--From Jesse America's blog about directing the actors on the game.

"Disembodied voice of cuteness"

How cool is that?

Foggy California Street

I love foggy evenings.
