It depends on whether they laugh.

Sometimes you take a risk in comedy. The risk is real. The choice is yours.

You must choose. But choose…wisely

I keep reading this with different vocal archetypes like radio-announcer, in-a-world, Shatner, Schrute, etc. Can you tell me what your inner head voice sounds like?

That's a really fun question. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of a Henry Rollins or a Dan Harmon, with just an amuse bouche of Paul Reubens. HA HA!
