 ;D  Okay, this one will probably get locked almost straight away because it's a joke sort of thread.  (Please note I have StoplightRed to thank for this idea.)  It came about because I recently landed a voice role and I'm using a stocking, not panyhose, for my mic baffle.

It's linked to this topic: http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php?topic=62.0 and the idea came from the IRC channel this morning (my time, anyway).

Any and all comments welcome.

I used a stocking to voice Prue and Grainne, rather than pantyhose. But that was because I had one spare. I thought I was being economical. Now that I know I was being sexy I feel quite good. Surprised, but good.  :D

I think that the sexier the stocking, the more likely a voice actress' (or actor's) take is to be accepted by certain parties who preview and edit the takes.

Now, is this because the stocking improves the quality of the acting or sound? Or because of the... certain something a stocking evokes? Who knows? I certainly amn't speculating aloud, honest.
<StoplightRed> right, right. but see, most of my friends really aren't bastards.

For voicing Bruces any old sock will do that has seen his fair couple of weeks in a Hells Angel's boot I would wager and pink tights just have to be the weapon of choice for some acts

I wouldn't worry about that, most of the threads here are just a big joke.  ;)

I read parties as panties. I blame this topic.

They got them stumpy legs and puffy potato noses!
And what's with all the turnips?
Why do they eat so much root vegetables, anyway?

Uh-oh. I use neither pantyhose nor stockings. This must be why I am a cruel editor. I must have my bitter, non-sexy revenge!  ;)

Bons also uses more expensive equipment than the rest of you, so she can get away with it.

The rest of you need pantyhose. Silky, slinky, sa--

Uh. No, really, nylon plosive shields are an industry standard sort of thing. It just so happens that hose/stockings are a readily available way for many people to acquire a decent amount of nylon.

My stockings are not nylon. But they are sexy. I sense a conflict.

"Pantyhose" and "slinky" in close proximity... does not compute!  Pantyhose are clumsy and awful, and never fit right.  Stockings, on the other hand, are a much better fit, and look lovely as well.

Er, I'm talking about fitting over the mic, of course.  Why, what did you think I was talking about?  ;D

This thread is so disturbing to me on sooo many levels.

For the sake of argument, I used pantyhose (even though I call them stockings) for Masalina, but after taking to Red I started using a thick athletic sock for the other characters I've done. ;)   

You make the call...

also tries to reconcile the thought of pantyhose with slinky and silky .... fails

jc is now exposed as a person who has never worn panty-hose. Oh the shame, the shame.  ;D

We now have two sock fanciers: question, cotton or nylon? (Although nylon athletic socks don't bear thinking about.)
