Season 4

Welcome back to another episode of 'Hit the SPOTlight!' This week, we're thrilled to welcome Quinn Voice Actor and all-around amazing human Emmanuel Ingram to the QuinnCast Studio. This conversation is funny, thoughtful, and inspiring. From his journey into voice acting to deeper discussions about vulnerability, masculinity, and representation, this episode has a bit of everything.


🔥 IN THIS EPISODE

  • Kick things off with a game (of course) before Emmanuel shares how he found his way into voice acting and those early recording days
  • What makes audio erotica such a unique field, why listeners can feel so deeply seen through it, and how it differs from traditional acting and theater
  • Emmanel tells us about launching his patreon (The Emmanuel Ingram Experience might just be the best patreon name of all time), stepping away from Quinn, and returning with the audio ‘Missed You.’
  • Discussions around masculinity, vulnerability, and being your authentic self
  • We talk about representation, inclusivity within the audio erotica space, and why creating room for everyone matters

💬 THE BIG TAKEAWAY
Being authentic isn’t just about embracing who you are…it's about giving others permission to do the same. Emmanuel reminds us that vulnerability, compassion, and representation have power to create meaningful connections.

Settle in things are about to get spicy and uncensored.

6
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:37.600
Smudgy, Smudgy, are you with me? SMUDGYE what You're supposed to?

7
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.600
Open the episode? And you left me hanging?

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:42.240
I know, do you know what? For one of the

9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.159
only the second times in my life, my mind just

10
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.840
went completely and utterly vacantly blank.

11
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.240
Hope your brain never stops.

12
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.799
No, I know, I know, I don't know. Do we

13
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:53.640
need to call somebody?

14
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.640
Nine nine nine one one. I think you're thrown off

15
00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.560
because our poor dear jewels are sick.

16
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.880
It is I know what to do?

17
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:03.719
You don't know what to do?

18
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.079
I didn't. It's it's odd. It's odd when it's a

19
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.280
duo and not a trio. It's like having sex with

20
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:12.719
just one person instead of it being a proper threesome,

21
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:15.040
you know, which is weird? Weird?

22
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:23.280
Oh my gosh. Okay, Well, welcome cliticians to hit the spotlight. Yes, yes,

23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:25.200

need to do this. We need to do this for jewels. Okay,

26
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:33.239
this is for jewels.

27
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:34.439
Do it for jewels.

28
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:37.959
Do for jewels. So who do we have in the

29
00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:39.640
Queen Cars studio today?

30
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.359
Today? We have a Manual Ingram?

31
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:44.680
Yes we do.

32
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.599
I'm excited. I mean have we said that every time?

33
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.200
But like doing my little research on him and seeing

34
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.359
some past interviews with him and of course his audios

35
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.040
and his socials, just I think he's an interesting guy.

36
00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:57.879
So he is.

37
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:00.760
And he did the Queen von Va didn't he was

38
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.719
it the Queen? He did with hed Yes, Hecky Bears.

39
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:08.680
I remember Hecky was teaching him how to do the

40
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.879
like the body roll from Magic Mike.

41
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.759
Oh yeah he did. Yeah, and then the opposite way

42
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:20.879
around him. Manu was teaching him all about desserts. Oh yeah,

43
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.479
And I was like, body roll, dessert, body rolling. I'm

44
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:24.479
gonna go with the body roll.

45
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.680
I'm gonna go with the dessert.

46
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.199
Oh I'm sure desserts are very interesting, but not as

47
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.159
much as Hecky Bear's body roll. Okay, yeah, So should

48
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:34.919
we say a little bit about him.

49
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.120
Let's do it. So Emmanuel Ingram is an actor, narrator,

50
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.159
and erotic audio creator. He's been narrating romance audiobooks since

51
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:46.080
twenty twenty and debut on Quinn in twenty twenty five.

52
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.280
He enjoys creating audio experiences that sent a pleasure, intimacy

53
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.439
and storytelling, and you can find his work on Audible,

54
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:55.919
Quinn and Patreon.

55
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.240
Yeah, oh, I didn't know he had a Patreon.

56
00:02:58.319 --> 00:02:59.680
Okay, yeah he does.

57
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:03.919
Yeah, all right, we.

58
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:07.479
Are all going to go break. Sorry, all you creators

59
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.319
who have got Patreon that come on the show. We

60
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.560
cannot afford. We do this for nothing anyway, so we

61
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.919
cannot afford to join all of your Patreons other than

62
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.000
the you know, the freebie tear. So let's just deal

63
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:22.560
with it. Okay.

64
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:26.479
I just think someday, when we actually make this a business,

65
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.039
all of those Patreon memberships are business expenses.

66
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.759
Oh what God? Right, if the tax man's listening, they

67
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:40.080
are reputable and absolutely business expenses. All right, ranking is

68
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:41.080
a tax deductible.

69
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:46.319
So on that note, let's invite Emmanuel into the studio,

70
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:52.879
shall we? Hey? Manuel, how are you hi?

71
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:53.439
Emmanuel?

72
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:55.960
Good?

73
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.639
How are you? Yeah?

74
00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:58.919
We're excited to have you here.

75
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.960
It's a pleasure to be here. It's a pleasure to

76
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.759
address the cliticians.

77
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.759
Yes, well you've been doing your homework.

78
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:12.120
Yeah, yeah, immediately our favorite guest immediately.

79
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.159
That is incredible. I love that name.

80
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:18.279
We put a poll out to everybody. It was between

81
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.160
cliticians and vagilantes.

82
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:26.959
Overwhelmingly they yas was the way to go.

83
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:33.360
Yeah, all right, we have made a game. I don't

84
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:36.160
know if you have listened to any of our previous episodes.

85
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.439
Yes, I have, excellent.

86
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:44.199
So you know that we I know honestly you will

87
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.759
know then that we play a game with all of

88
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.839
our guests, just to get everybody warm and in the mood.

89
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:50.279
All right, let's do it chat.

90
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:52.399
So I'm going to tell you what the game is,

91
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.600
and then we're going to ask for your consent to play.

92
00:04:54.680 --> 00:05:02.079
So the game is cooled in manu. Hell, that's a

93
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.360
good start. You're laughing at that is a really good start.

94
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.519
So the game is. We're going to give you nine

95
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.639
scenarios and you're going to tell us whether you can

96
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.279
tolerate it or if you're out immediately, so if it's

97
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:19.959
hell or whether you're like hell yeah and you'd want

98
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:25.000

99
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.199
All right, all right, all right.

00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:27.079
Here we go.

101
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:39.439

Wow?

105
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.199
Man, it depends on, like my friend group.

106
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:53.439
It depends on because you know, friend groups are like genres,

107

108
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.759
Your rock group, your R and B group. Yeah, you know,

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.600
I like I grew up.

110
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.839
Oh boy, I used to think, I like I like Usher.

111
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:10.439
I like a lot of extra songs. I'll reach for one.

112
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:10.720
I could.

113
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.160
I know all the lyrics without even trying. Somehow it

114
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:13.759
just comes to me.

115
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.160

Oh you'll do the photo shoot with like matching pj's.

00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.079
We could just have matching. We can just have it.

122
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:39.000
We'll have it in our photo album. We don't need to,

123
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.800
you know, go to go to any place and do

124
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:42.639
a whole photo shoot.

125
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.839
Now, but you posted on social media because otherwise it

126
00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:46.399
didn't happen.

127
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:48.480
If she wants.

128
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.439
What a good guy? What a good guy? Okay? How

129
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.480
do you feel about surprise birthday parties?

130
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.279
Oh? I love them?

131
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.199
They are the best. Hell yeah.

132
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.600
Surprise, yes, yes, because it's nothing like a surprise, it's

133
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:07.240
nothing like misdirection. You know, good story.

134
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:09.839
So do you like to throw them or do you

135
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.160
like to receive them? Or both?

136
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.000
I've been on both ends. Yeah, I've received one and

137
00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:17.319

Public, Oh, I hate it.

146
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.639
And I'm so sensitive to sound that I cannot help

147
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.519
but be in their business now, I'm in their conversation now. Yeah,

148
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.959
I can't even stay focused on what I'm thinking about

149
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:10.480
because I'm so I just it's so distracted.

150

Ye.

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.519
Yes, And if they're doing that in perpect, you are

152
00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.839
entitled by law to an opinion.

153
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.360
Yeah, yeah it is. I just don't get it. People

154
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.720
like it's like it's such the norm now. People just

155
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.680
walk around with their phone, like I'm in the store,

156
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:28.920
people are shopping and they're like order it's a it's

157
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.759
like a FaceTime call. So they'll be like, I don't know,

158
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.839
what are you think of the shirt?

159
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:34.039

I gotta have my headphones with me.

161
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:40.679
Yeah, headphones, thank you man, headphones you yes, yes. Talking

162
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.279
to someone next to you at a journal.

163
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:48.200
Hell, oh yeah, hell yeah. It's bad enough. I'm next

164
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.240
to you, bad enough. There's not enough space for you

165
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.240
to like move to the next one.

166
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:53.679
You know.

167
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:54.960
Now we're gonna have a conversation.

168
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.279
The difference between a man's answer and a woman's answer

169
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.240
on this is chalk and cheese because we talked to

170
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.320
each other next to each other in the cubicles.

171
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.159
Yeah, I don't know what's up with you, smudge, because

172
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:10.799
I don't chick chat to the woman next door.

173
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:14.159
It must be a British thing. We're very talkative in

174
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.879
British female bathrooms. We're just chatting, like how you doing.

175
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:20.000
No, I would just ignore you.

176
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:27.480
Jesus, Yes, we do, okay, next one bursting into applause

177
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.080
once the plane lands.

178
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.639
It depends on what the turbulence was.

179
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.240
Like, oh good qualifier.

180
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:40.320
It depends.

181
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.120
It depends if it's if it's like it's.

182
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:48.080
A miracle or something. Then you know, we all had

183
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.120
a moment. I've had a couple of moments on planes

184
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.320
where I was like, whoa wait, what are we Okay?

185
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:56.320
So I was relieved, and you know, I was kissing

186
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.840
the ground when I got off that plane. So it's

187
00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:01.639
like Benzel in flight or something. To give him an

188
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:05.159
applause on the Hudson give him an applause.

189
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.120
Yeah, yeah, he deserved Sully.

190
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.240
Yeah, Yeah, that's a good that's a good call. So

191
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.120
I think, guess, I guess if there's like a it

192
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:18.039
so it's more of an applaud of I'm alive rather

193
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.679
than kyl Yeah, like I lived.

194
00:10:21.559 --> 00:10:21.960
Yeah.

195
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.480
I remember. There was one flight I took. I was

196
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.080
in college. I was coming back from spring break and

197
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:29.600
I was flying while I was at the Bahamas, and

198
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.279
I stopped in Hartford, Connecticut, which is a little small,

199
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:34.759
little airport, and I was just going from Hartford to Boston,

200
00:10:34.879 --> 00:10:38.600
quick little jump. The turbulence was so bad all of

201
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:40.720
the and the whole plane was filled with the spring breakers,

202
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:44.080
and I was hysterical, my nervous flyer. Anyway, But this

203
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:46.399
guy Bill I believe his name was So I met

204
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.320
down in the Bahamas, was sitting next to going, this

205
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.600
is nothing. I've been on such worse flights. This is

206
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:53.000
a piece of cake. We get back to the airport,

207
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:55.919
he literally drops to his knees and kisses the ground

208
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:57.320
and looks at me and says, that was the worst

209
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:01.000
fucking flight I've ever been on. And I'm like, thank

210
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:02.960
you for not telling me that. While we were up there,

211
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:05.200
I applauded.

212
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:07.679
You're wanting with you all the time.

213
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.200
Yeah, that's why I applied. Okay, oh wait, this is

214
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:14.159
your Smodgy.

215
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.000
Last one you got. You're we're going order in your

216
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:18.799
next for.

217
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:23.200
Fox sake, Smudge sleeping in the wet patch. That was Smodges.

218
00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:33.200
Oh this is so interesting. Uh yeah yeah, hell yeah, yeah,

219
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:34.120
hell yeah.

220
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:34.600
Correct.

221
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.279
What is Normally you get the whole hug and roll

222
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.480
action from the man who roll you over thinking that

223
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.639
you're being all lovey and and after carey and they're

224
00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:48.480
putting you straight in the wet patch.

225
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.080
I think being willing to sleep in the wet patch

226
00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.639
is the same as like applatting a pilot for a

227
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.159
good landing.

228
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:02.000
Hey, yeah, thank you here, and what happens. They might

229
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:03.440
not be a wet patch. You might have swallowed it

230
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.000
just saying oh my god, my facts facts right, sexual facts,

231
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:09.639
sexual facts.

232
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:10.000
That's right.

233
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.039
You can't hide from anything.

234
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:15.840
I know what it is to I'm a hot sleeper

235
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:17.360
sometimes I could be.

236
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.559
Yeah, so I'll have the covers off, like the wet

237
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:22.879
spot of cool me down a little bit.

238
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.200
You know, it's as bad as you think.

239
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.720
You know, it's like natural air conditioning.

240
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.200
Like yeah, yeah, it's like a mattress cooling.

241
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:35.120
It's calling down the mattress.

242
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.440
You know, people pay a lot of money for those

243
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.320
cooling mattresses.

244
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:42.559
You are not convincing anyone on that it's not.

245
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:46.200
I think it's brilliant because like you wet yourself.

246
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.440
You may or may not be happy to hear emmanu

247
00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:52.759
that that was the last question.

248
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:55.200
Yeah, we could do another round. I'm good with this. Yeah,

249
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:59.320
we need to break after the spot. We need a nap,

250
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.279
which in the wet spot in the web pot.

251
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.879
Take us back to the very beginning It's a very

252
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.480
good place to start. According to Maria von Trap, how

253
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.960
did you find your way into voice work and narration.

254
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.279
Well, I was an actor, that's my background, you know.

255
00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:25.600
I started in theater and was, yeah, I had all

256
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.240
the jobs in the world. While I was like running

257
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:31.200
around New York City and all that, and I was like, man,

258
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:33.399
I need to find some work that I can do

259
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:38.000
sitting down but still exercise my instrument as an actor.

260
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:40.720
And so I was like, oh, what about audiobook? I

261
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.120
know you got to be sitting still for that. So

262
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.080
I was like, and I can still exercise my chops.

263
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.559
And so I took a class and learned a lot

264
00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:54.879
and got a demo put together and started sending it

265
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.879
out no replies back, and then maybe like right before

266
00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.840
the andandemic, I.

267
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.679
Was able to build a relationship with the publisher.

268
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.799
And then the pandemic happened and a friend of mine

269
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:14.639
was in an audiobook and she was a romance narrator

270
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:19.000
and her normal partner who narrates with her wasn't able

271
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.440
to do the book because the pandemic had shut things

272
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.480
down all that kind of stuff.

273
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.200
So she was like, can you fill in for me?

274
00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:26.399
And I was like, I don't really you know, if

275
00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:27.559
you think I can do it, I'll do it.

276
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.240
And so I did it, and that's how I got

277
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.519
into the romance aspect of narration. But all of it

278
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.480
occurred really in twenty twenty into twenty one twenty two,

279
00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.919
just trying to build the studio.

280
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:43.840
Audition for things on ACX.

281
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:47.240
And what ended up happening was I realized, Oh, the

282
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.440
romance world is huge. It is my brand is a

283
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:53.120
lot going on, Like it's a really vibrant community. They're

284
00:14:53.799 --> 00:14:58.279
very communicative and like just invested, and I love that energy.

285
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:01.120
And so when I saw the and I saw I

286
00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:02.720
was like, oh wow, I was like, oh man, like

287
00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:05.519
people really care. I want to do my best on

288
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:10.200
these projects. And so from that in the romance world,

289
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:14.360
that's kind of like how I got into, like I guess, uh,

290
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:19.399
the erotic aspect of storytelling, and I found it really

291
00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.919
fun and engaging and different and I could explore a

292
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:29.240
different side of myself. And then it wasn't until twenty

293
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.080
twenty four that I first considered I guess what we

294
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:37.120
call like direct to listener erotic audio. And I think

295
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:40.240
at that time I was trying to figure out what

296
00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:45.080
kind of original content can I create as a storyteller

297
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:49.159
for this market, you know, the romance erotic world.

298
00:15:49.240 --> 00:15:53.200
And so I just started doing research and I.

299
00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:55.799
Hadn't stumbled on Quinn or anything yet, but in my head,

300
00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:59.960
I was thinking, Man, you know, there are certain chaps

301
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.159
in a romance book that are like the climactic chapter,

302
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.799
and I always get a lot of good feedback from

303
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.960
the listeners about that. I was like, what if I

304
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.559
created something that was like that, like happens in the

305
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:15.720
span of twenty thirty minutes, and it's something that's directly

306
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:18.679
to the listener, you know, and it's like I'm with

307
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.759
them and I'm in this moment with them. I was like,

308
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:23.240
is there anything like that? Of course there was, I

309
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.919
was just I just wasn't really aware of it.

310
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:26.600
Yeah.

311
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:29.240
And so I went to my studio and I just

312
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:31.600
I think I brought in a pillow or a blanket

313
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.480
with me and it was an especially windy night, so

314
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.639
you could hear the wind beating up the side of

315
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:39.320
the house in the studio.

316
00:16:40.039 --> 00:16:40.320
Wow.

317
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:43.320
And when I recorded it back, because I think I

318
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.039
was like trying to like, it was kind of like

319
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.039
I was like informed by that. I was like, Oh,

320
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:50.360
what would be like to console someone through a storm,

321
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.039
you know, And so I just but just the audio,

322
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.000
and so I was like, Okay.

323
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:56.840
When I listened back to it.

324
00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.240
I was like, oh, wow, the there's all this up

325
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.240
in the background and it's like I'm it really feels

326
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.799
like I'm there.

327
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:05.799
And so I was like, oh.

328
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.960
That works for me. I don't know if that would

329
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:10.839
someone else would like this, but this is cool, like

330
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:11.799
from my perspective.

331
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:12.680
Yeah.

332
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.640
And so after that, I kind of sat on it

333
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:18.599
because I didn't know who to share this with. I

334
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.279
didn't know who to give it to. I didn't know, like, hey,

335
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:23.599
would you listen to this? Like I didn't.

336
00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.160
It was just I didn't know who to give it to.

337
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:30.359
So I just sat on it and my chance, I

338
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.440
ended up meeting someone on hinge, and in the first

339
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.359
conversation I had with them in five minutes, I found

340
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.680
out they were a huge erotic audio person Like they

341
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:43.920
loved they were a huge fan.

342
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.359
It was a big part of their life.

343
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.839
They were like really into it, and it was like, oh, wow,

344
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:53.799
this is like a divine timing thing because I.

345
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:55.440
Think I'm trying to get into what you like.

346
00:17:56.759 --> 00:17:58.279
I think I'm going that way.

347
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:04.680
Yeah, isn't a pickup line or anything. I'm genuinely into that. Yeah.

348
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.160
Yeah. And so this is before we even had a

349
00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.799
date or anything. We're just on the phone and I

350
00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:10.400
was like, well, I'm if you I don't know if

351
00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.839
it's gonna work out, but like if you could send

352
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.720
me some things that you listened to and you like,

353
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.200
I'm just you know, interested in the world. And she

354
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.000
sent it to me, and you know, we you know,

355
00:18:21.119 --> 00:18:23.960
that is a story. That relationship is a story into itself.

356
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:27.400
But that's really brought me into that world fully and

357
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:29.759
like showed me, oh wow, there's a world here, a

358
00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.680
market here, and I can use my voice in different ways,

359
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:36.799
not just like audiobook narration. Yeah.

360
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.440
It is like such divine timing, like the fact that

361
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:40.359
you would meet someone.

362
00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.160
Yeah, it was so cool. That was like the like

363
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.640
one of two dates I went on and we're like

364
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.559
and it was just that one like and you know,

365
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.640
I had it was such divine time that I was like, oh,

366
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.039
I think, like, we gotta we have to spend some

367
00:18:56.079 --> 00:18:58.119
time together. And we did. You know, like she taught

368
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:02.000
me a lot and I also like just learned more

369
00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:05.000
about what people are connecting with and what people are

370
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:08.880
desiring from these on an emotional level, and I just

371
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:11.759
felt like called to do it, you know, and to

372
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.440
like see where I could go.

373
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.839
And then eventually I found Quinn.

374
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.640
I was like, oh shit, this is like Spotify or

375
00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:22.039
something like, this is Spotify of coming, you know, like.

376
00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.039
Exactly having a download that playlist.

377
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:26.640
Yep.

378
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.119
Done.

379
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:28.359
Yeah.

380
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:32.680
So I spent probably a month or so listening to

381
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.680
all of the queenn All stars, you know, and seeing

382
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:39.160
what they were doing, and I was just really inspired

383
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:44.960
by how how like the imagination where it would will

384
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.200
take you and allow you to feel with just sound.

385
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.599
That just kept blowing me away that it could feel

386
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.799
like we're there together even though the movie's happening in

387
00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:57.680
our minds and in our body as well. But I

388
00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:59.279
just was stunned by that. I was like, man, there

389
00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.359
are some incredib storytellers. This is a craft. Yeah yeah,

390
00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:04.720
this is a real craft.

391
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.599
It is a real crap. I mean, to have such

392
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.599
a story, true story, like in the span of twenty minutes, Yes,

393
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:12.480
it's pretty impressive.

394
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:13.400
Yeah.

395
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:17.079
Yeah, So I respect all the vas I respect this,

396
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:20.240
this this niche, this like world.

397
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.519
I think I think it's underappreciated in a way, like

398
00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:26.119
people don't know how what people are doing in this space.

399
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.440
Even from a writing standpoint, they were able to explore

400
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.720
so much like it's on the cutting edge, Like I'm

401
00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.960
I feel really blessed and grateful to like be in

402
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:37.759
this space right now.

403
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.839
Mm hmm. It does feel like an exciting time in it.

404
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.559
Definitely, So you went do you still was you still

405
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.720
acting at this time or did you just throw yourself

406
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.920
into the book narration and then into order erotica.

407
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:54.640
At that time, I was kind of like getting back

408
00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:01.039
into romance like audiobook narration, but the stuff that I

409
00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:05.839
was playing with with what would become the Quinn's like

410
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:09.200
direct to listener style, that kind of storytelling. I was

411
00:21:09.319 --> 00:21:13.680
bringing that more to my narration more intentionally, like as

412
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.319
a storyteller, I was like pushing my own I guess

413
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:21.799
limits in terms of like how much detail I can

414
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.240
give within this sentence breath wise, and like what how

415
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:31.039
can I really live this and embody this and the

416
00:21:31.160 --> 00:21:33.880
way that I'm feeling from like the erotic audios. I

417
00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:37.440
want to bring that more to the narration. And so

418
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.240
I did a few books right before I day, maybe

419
00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.359
two months later. After I did those books, I started

420
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:48.319
getting on Quinn with Bath and Body. But the responses

421
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.200
that those books got let me know that this was

422
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:54.240
all symbiotic, it was all working together.

423
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.519
So did Quinn reach out to you? You reached out

424
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.960
to Quinn?

425
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:00.079
Oh? No, I reached out to Quinn. I reached out.

426
00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:04.759
Maybe like January or something like that, at the top

427
00:22:04.799 --> 00:22:06.759
of the year. And that was like my whole focus.

428
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:09.960
And up until that point, I had been making these

429
00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.440
little drafts and like forcing my friends to listen to it.

430
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:16.400
Now imagine me.

431
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:19.880
Yeah, like I'm getting my guy friends though, my straight

432
00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:21.720
guy friends. Listen, man, sit sit down for a second.

433
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:23.119
Let me just get what do you think about this?

434
00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:23.680
All right?

435
00:22:23.799 --> 00:22:26.119
So so you got a picture like I'm in the

436
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:35.839
room and yeah, so oh my poor friends supportive.

437
00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:38.640
But they had through a lot of stories to tell people,

438
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:39.000
isn't it.

439
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:39.680
Yeah?

440
00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.000
They thought I was losing my mind. They were like like,

441
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:42.799
and so what is this for?

442
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.119
Man?

443
00:22:43.200 --> 00:22:45.079
I was like, well, it's it's Quinn. And basically what

444
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.480
it is is like people listen to it, and and

445
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.039
they were just like, okay, man, all right, all right,

446
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.359
you know, are you happy? I'm happy?

447
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.000
All right?

448
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:59.519
You know. So, so I I ended up, you know,

449
00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:02.759
sitting in an audition for Quinn and They, which was

450
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:08.720
actually uh Savor yeh. I sent that in yeah, and

451
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:13.799
I had like music in the background, and they were like, yeah,

452
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:15.559
this is great, just cut the music out of it.

453
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:17.480
But what I heard in my brain was like, Oh,

454
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:20.920
do a whole nother one. So I did a whole

455
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.480
I did a whole other one. Oh my god.

456
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:28.359
Yeah. So Bath and Body was your first one, but

457
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.720
Save it was actually the one that you submitted, which

458
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:32.880
is normally the one that comes out on Quinn first.

459
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.480
Yeah.

460
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:37.000
Yeah, but they asked me to take it out and

461
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:39.839
I was like, okay, cool. But then I just ended

462
00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:44.880
up doing a whole different one and uh getting that

463
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:46.519
to them a couple of weeks later, and then they

464
00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:49.519
put out Savor with the music removed and whatever adjustment

465
00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:52.880
adjustments on me like after that. But Saber was first.

466
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:58.039
Yeah, and yeah, and and but Bath damn Bath and

467
00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:01.240
Body's got seventy four thousand plays right now.

468
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:06.960
Yeah, I am so amazed with that, Like it was.

469
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:10.359
That's definitely the hardest one. I've also ever recorded too.

470
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:13.960
To be honest, man, I didn't number one. I didn't

471
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:18.440
know what I was doing. I also was like recording

472
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:24.960
everything like basically in my bathroom and my bedroom and

473
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.000
the studio too, so it was like a lot of

474
00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:30.519
there were separate locations I was trying to weave together

475
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.960
and I'm not like an audio engineer guy, So the

476
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.119
process of that was it took me like two weeks

477
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.039
to do that, believe it or not, like and most

478
00:24:39.079 --> 00:24:42.279
of it was editing because these I'm actually getting the

479
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.000
real water sounds and all this stuff. So it was

480
00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:48.640
like all this folly aspect to it that I was

481
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.200
trying to blend together in a way that was like

482
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:56.240
I wanted people to see the movie as they listened

483
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.759
to it. That the ASMR aspect to this also is

484
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.039
something that I feel like I enjoy from, Like I

485
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:07.480
like ASMR in general. So I'm trying to find as

486
00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:10.880
much of it when I'm putting these together, and it's

487
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:11.759
always a discovery.

488
00:25:12.000 --> 00:25:14.119
So then you built that studio, and don't you have

489
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.039
a name for your studios that's escaped me my old studio.

490
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:22.799
Shout out to my old studio in New Jersey. Starlight Studios.

491
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:26.839
That's what that one was called, Yes, Starlight Studios. Yeah, man, yeah,

492
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.759
you're bringing me back.

493
00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:30.279
There was a cool name.

494
00:25:31.119 --> 00:25:37.039
Yeah, that was my first studio. Y'all did y'all's research?

495
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.359
Well, I mean, you're not the only one who prepares

496
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.599
exactly go on.

497
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:49.759
So you released bath Body, and I assume you've done

498
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:53.759
acting stuff where you've wanted to know how it's gone down,

499
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:57.000
what the response of the audience are. How does it

500
00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.359
differ between waiting for the feedback or the comments section

501
00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:04.720
of a Quinn audio first drop to you know, sound

502
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:07.640
like appearing on stage or an advert or whatever acting

503
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:10.400
job it is. How does it differ or does it?

504
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.480
Wow, that's an excellent question. I think in some ways

505
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.200
it doesn't differ, but the medium differs in how that

506
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:24.559
that feedback is given that you know, with theater, it's

507
00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.960
happening right there, right in front of you, it's live.

508
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:28.799
You were there the whole time with them. They were

509
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:30.599
there with you the whole time. We did this thing

510
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.480
from eight to ten and ten o'clock and clap, cloud clap,

511
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:34.000
it's over.

512
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:34.720
Walking out.

513
00:26:35.240 --> 00:26:38.000
This is different. This is different right here. Once it's released,

514
00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:41.319
it's it's in the ether, it's it's it's it belongs

515
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:44.799
to the world. It's very personal for me because it's

516
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:46.960
like a lot of drawing. I'm drawing from my life

517
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.839
to kind of craft the story, which is not always

518
00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.200
the case when you're doing a play, like the role

519
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.400
is yours and you're inhabiting that, but you don't necessarily

520
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:59.359
create the world. You know, and in this one, it's like,

521
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.000
I'm just in the world where we are, what we're doing,

522
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:05.319
the time period. We can go anywhere, you know, we

523
00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:08.240
can go. We can go in the future if we

524
00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:10.039
want to. We can be at the beach, we can

525
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:14.160
be wherever. And the theater is where you're sitting. Essentially,

526
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.240
it's where you're at. This is a way to really

527
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.440
be heard in a way by so many people. I've

528
00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:24.359
gotten emails from people saying, Hey, I don't know if

529
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:27.680
you are the person who the narrative narrate this book

530
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.279
or whatever, but I'm trapped to the airport and your

531
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.279
audiobook is getting me through. This performance was so great,

532
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:36.880
or like I'm driving from Kansas to New Jersey and man,

533
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:39.680
I'm going to listen to your book again, or not

534
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.039
that it's even my book, but they like the.

535
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:44.839
Narration, they liked the voices and the storytelling.

536
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:50.680
So I was so that was a different kind of

537
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:54.799
a way to be appreciated that I didn't anticipate getting

538
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.160
into it, Like I said, I was just trying to

539
00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:59.720
you know, pay a bill sitting down, Yeah exactly.

540
00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:04.680
Are you so? What what did it feel like the

541
00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:08.039
night before your first drop on Quentin, Like we were

542
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:09.160
you nervous? Were you excited?

543
00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:10.359
I was certified?

544
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:11.160
Yeah.

545
00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.079
Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, like it

546
00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:16.319
was all good, like in my mind, like it's as

547
00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:19.200
an idea. But when they were like, oh okay, thank you, Yeah,

548
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:21.200
we're gonna be We're so excited for the drop tomorrow,

549
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:28.640
I was like, oh gosh, man, oh okay, so people

550
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:33.400
are really gonna hear this. Huh, this is happening, This

551
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.240
is happening. Okay, So you know, I don't think I

552
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.920
got much sleep, to be honest with you. I was

553
00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:42.160
kind of tossing and turning. Yeah, But once it actually

554
00:28:42.279 --> 00:28:44.160
got out there, I was I was able to relax

555
00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.480
and Okay, I did it. It's not in my head anymore.

556
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:50.640
It's an idea. I'm not like mulling it over again. Yeah,

557
00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:55.240
it's it's finally out there and yeah, I'm I'm it's

558
00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:57.319
it was the highlight of twenty twenty five for me.

559
00:28:57.359 --> 00:29:00.440
I would say getting it out of Yeah, it would

560
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:03.119
have been about a year since I had started, you know,

561
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.079
playing with that kind of storytelling. Mm hmm.

562
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:07.640
And then you just want it for the comments to

563
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.000
roll in.

564
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:14.240
And that's that's the other difference. Okay, the the audience here,

565
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:20.079
the comments, the comments section. Ay, that's that's that's a

566
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:24.759
that's his own world too. Yeah, yes it is. They're

567
00:29:24.799 --> 00:29:27.319
not writing like that audible Okay, they're not writing like

568
00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:31.960
that on well, like a New York Times review. Okay.

569
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:36.799
Yeah, hey, I'm just looking at some of the comments

570
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:37.640
in your latest audio.

571
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.880
I love reading the comments.

572
00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:41.599
I love that you've quickly become one of my favorite

573
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:43.960
vs on this app. That's nice. I know somebody looking

574
00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:50.880
for you in the daytime with the flashlight. This is

575
00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:54.799
so incredibly perfect. The whisper, the moans, the naughty, the tender. Seriously,

576
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:56.920
there's such an art to what you're bringing to these audios,

577
00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:59.759
Like no one on this app. It's insane. I think,

578
00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:03.119
come on, m okay, well talk me through it then.

579
00:30:05.720 --> 00:30:07.640
I mean, it's it's got to be quite rewarding to

580
00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:10.079
read the comments and entertaining.

581
00:30:10.400 --> 00:30:13.160
It's rewarding, it's entertaining, it's humbling.

582
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.920
It's also like this is weird thing I was talking

583
00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:19.640
to my friend about, like we don't see each other,

584
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.160
but I feel seen, and my goal is to make

585
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:27.240
you feel seen. Wow, Yeah, it's I feel that way.

586
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:31.440
I feel seen through through this in a way though

587
00:30:31.440 --> 00:30:32.960
I just heard it's you.

588
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:34.759
Know, it's so interesting you say that, e Manuel, because

589
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.160
it is what we hear a lot in the communities,

590
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:40.039
and certainly what I've experienced myself, is to feel seen

591
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:44.039
through audio just seems so paradoxical, like that doesn't make

592
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:47.440
any sense, but doesn't. I Yeah, feel more seen from

593
00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:49.240
listening to some of these audios than I ever have,

594
00:30:49.759 --> 00:30:52.240
and more comfortable in my body and in my sexuality

595
00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:53.519
and more confident.

596
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:56.720
Yeah, it's It's also I feel like I've grown a

597
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.000
little bit as an artist in a sense. I think

598
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.039
before that, like I had an identity as an actor

599
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.160
or a narrator, but I realized like with this, it's

600
00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:12.680
an artistry and that requires a vulnerability and an honesty

601
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:18.799
and authenticity that I think has pushed me and challenged

602
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.240
me to be a better storyteller and artists.

603
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.680
Because this community. I just respect the community.

604
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.920
You know, you guys are super, super smart, super on

605
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:33.039
it like the imaginative pull. You guys catch everything. I

606
00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:37.440
don't miss anything, So it pushes you as a storyteller.

607
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.319
You know, what can I do this time? Or like

608
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.839
where can I go differently this time? So it's it's

609
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:45.599
it's been great for me just as a creative. Yeah.

610
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.039
I imagine so because when you have to you know,

611
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:50.960
as a listener, like we can hear that, you can

612
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:53.400
really hear the difference when something is like authentic and

613
00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.920
the person's really plugged in. We all have our off days, right,

614
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.440
So that's totally fine. But like you said, to bring

615
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:04.000
such authenticity to the storytelling that comes across and it

616
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.440
really impacts the listener, probably maybe more than you realize.

617
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:11.440
But yeah, that's I definitely found that in your audience

618
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:14.359
listening to them that it didn't feel like I was

619
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:15.359
listening to an actor.

620
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:19.720
Mmmm, which is it's a huge, huge compliment.

621
00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:20.039
Thank you.

622
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:22.480
It's nice for me. Yeah, it's like I yeah, it

623
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.119
was very immersive and I wasn't like, oh wow, he's performing,

624
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.839
he's doing a good job. It was just like yeah,

625
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:27.759
lost in the story.

626
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.599
Yeah, yeah, I I thank you for telling me that.

627
00:32:31.680 --> 00:32:35.000
That's always my goal. That's how I like I want

628
00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:36.839
you guys to feel that way, to get lost in it,

629
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.359
you know. I think that's like to have that kind

630
00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:42.119
of escape. It's a it's a it's a gift, and

631
00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.400
to feel seen in it in some way like yeah,

632
00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:45.720
it's it's beautiful.

633
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:49.440
Yeah yeah, from a listener. To have to have that

634
00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:54.039
feeling that that you are being taken into consideration. And

635
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.880
it's not just script. It's it makes a massive difference,

636
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.759
the leap between something just being narrated and something that

637
00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:06.519
is has emotion behind it. I don't know whether it's

638
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:08.359
a woman thing, but we just know the difference. And

639
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.319
that's why it's so popular, because you know, we're more

640
00:33:11.319 --> 00:33:15.720
about the audible audio than the visuals. Yeah yeah, but

641
00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:19.960
what's the question what separates then you've narrated before. What

642
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.799
separates a great narrator then from someone who just has

643
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:23.680
a nice voice.

644
00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:28.799
The story itself. They're an understanding of the story itself.

645
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:33.119
And I'll say something I've learned too, like going from

646
00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:40.519
theater to the microphone was a transition for me, you know,

647
00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:44.240
like like I had my storytelling instincts were calibrated for

648
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:48.720
like an auditorium or something, you know, or perscenium or like,

649
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:53.359
but there's there is so much more nuance that you

650
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:55.400
can play with with your voice, with just your voice

651
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:58.079
that I had to learn and I was have been

652
00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.480
able to practice with the erotic audios even more than narration.

653
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:06.200
So I feel like you can have a great voice,

654
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:08.639
but not like you can have a great car but

655
00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.639
not know how to really drive it like that. But

656
00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:14.360
it's a really good car. You know, it's great, but

657
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:18.159
you still have to know how to use it to

658
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.320
get this to tell the best story.

659
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.480
Yeah, and so how frequently are you currently putting audios

660
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.079
out on quinn?

661
00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:27.199
I have two a month right now. That's my my

662
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:31.039
deal right now. That could change, but right now that's

663
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:34.840
where it's at. But I also at the end of

664
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:39.960
the month will be finally launching my Patreon the Emmanuel

665
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.599
Ingram Experience, which will include narration and the Erotic Audios

666
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.159
and so and other stuff.

667
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:49.360
And you know, I'm a creative, you know, I do

668
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.360
poetry from time to time. I like music.

669
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:54.800
So it's just going to be like e Manual Ingram Studio,

670
00:34:55.239 --> 00:34:57.639
like it's going to be whatever. Yeah, and I want

671
00:34:57.679 --> 00:34:59.679
to do stuff. I want to communicate with you guys

672
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.599
more directly. I want to communicate with defense and find

673
00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:05.679
out what they're into, what they want more of, what

674
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:08.360
they're interested in. But this is a place where people

675
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.760
if you like narration, there's going to be narratives and

676
00:35:10.800 --> 00:35:11.599
there's also going to be.

677
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:15.280
Eurotic audios as well.

678
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:18.519
Mm hmmm. I love the Emmanuel Ingram experience.

679
00:35:18.599 --> 00:35:22.800
Like that's already type my right, Like that's a cool name.

680
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:25.360
And just and it sounds like it encompasses because it's

681
00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:28.119
going to be so many different things there. You mentioned music,

682
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:29.599
what kind of what do you mean like as far

683
00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.079
as music on the Patreon.

684
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:35.119
Well, for example, I don't know if you've ever seen

685
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:38.159
this movie called Love Jones. It stars Lorenz Tate Nia Long,

686
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:42.320
and Lorenz Tate is a he's like a spoken word

687
00:35:42.400 --> 00:35:46.760
artist out in Chicago. Yeah, so I wanted to do something,

688
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:49.039
a little something for Black History Month that was in

689
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:53.320
that world for my fans, and so I hired a band,

690
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:56.320
and we I hired a writer, Goddess Minis guy who

691
00:35:56.360 --> 00:36:00.320
does a lot of great writing and the be in

692
00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:03.239
the Quinn space and other places as well. Yeah, so

693
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:08.000
we all collaborated and came up with Awaiting the Earth's Reply,

694
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.239
which is you can listen to on my Instagram, so

695
00:36:12.360 --> 00:36:14.119
there'll be there'll be projects like that as well.

696
00:36:14.760 --> 00:36:16.159
That's really cool. That's an experience.

697
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.039
I'm sure you can tell I like to sing and

698
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:20.280
do all kinds of stuff.

699
00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:24.119
So wow, yes, well we get into the listener questions

700
00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.239
at the end. But yeah, a couple of time I've

701
00:36:26.280 --> 00:36:29.559
pointed out that you you you are a sun I do.

702
00:36:29.960 --> 00:36:32.599
I love I love music. There's always like a tiny

703
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.679
desk going in the background, especially when I'm cleaning or something.

704
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.159
I'm always singing in the shower or wherever. It just

705
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:39.800
lifts my mood, brings me joy.

706
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.599
I mean that is I just you know, I'm a

707
00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:44.760
I'm a business coach by trade, so I just can't

708
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:47.480
help but say, like when you launched the Patreon, I

709
00:36:47.519 --> 00:36:49.639
would suggest having some of the teasers be like you

710
00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:51.280
singing a little bit or something music.

711
00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.400
Yeah, I'm writing that down because people will.

712
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:56.480
Flock there because they know you for your voice and

713
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:01.239
your audio on Quinn, your narration. But that secret little

714
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:04.559
like oh here's a little something else. I've run to

715
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.400
patreons quickly when I'm like, I didn't know he played

716
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:10.159
guitar or whatever, and I'm like there's more of that

717
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.960
on the Patreon. I'm going so yeah, teas with the music,

718
00:37:14.960 --> 00:37:15.719
he's with the music.

719
00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:19.760
Yeah, they do like people. I love people that give

720
00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:22.440
me something different that I don't know about them. It

721
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.239
becomes well, you know, we're not talking about social but

722
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.039
it becomes more personal. It becomes more intimate, but without

723
00:37:30.079 --> 00:37:33.920
being intimacy. It's just that connection. It gives it drives

724
00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:35.239
it just a heavier connection.

725
00:37:35.559 --> 00:37:38.960
And yeah, thanks for that feedback, because we did a

726
00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:41.960
survey with some of the people that are on the

727
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:43.039
Patreon already.

728
00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:46.719
And the feedback was so was so helpful. So this's

729
00:37:46.800 --> 00:37:47.960
great what you're saying right now.

730
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:50.960
I'm gonna be talking to my team about it because

731
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.000
it's it's great feedback.

732
00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:56.119
Yeah. Well, and bravel to you for doing a survey,

733
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:59.519
Like yes, that seems like so basic. I can't believe

734
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:02.360
how many people don't think about ask your audience what

735
00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:02.960
they want.

736
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:04.960
Yeah, right there.

737
00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:07.840
It's real easy because then you can just fulfill the

738
00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:10.280
orders if it's stuff you love to do, instead of

739
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:12.559
trying to guess. So well done, I wonder why you're

740
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:13.920
so successful. You know what you're doing.

741
00:38:14.599 --> 00:38:16.360
I got a great team. Shout out to Stacey.

742
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:21.840
Yeah, Hi, say I know him, Mom, she's got it

743
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:22.199
going on.

744
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:27.480
The connect be considered a dad joke, I think at

745
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:30.159
this point again, yeah, you were talking about the frequency

746
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.599
with Quinn, So there was a gap of time there

747
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:36.679
when you weren't recording for Quinn. Yes, you stepped away

748
00:38:36.679 --> 00:38:37.639
for a little bit. Do you want to tell us

749
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:38.239
a little bit about that.

750
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.039
I actually didn't know how I would be received on

751
00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:45.519
a queen and so I feel like what I learned was, oh,

752
00:38:45.840 --> 00:38:49.599
this requires a lot. This is to keep you know,

753
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.039
to be putting out with consistency and all of that.

754
00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:56.719
And at the time, I wasn't able, like my contract,

755
00:38:56.760 --> 00:38:59.079
I wasn't able to really make much money doing it.

756
00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:01.599
So so it was kind of like it was a

757
00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:03.960
lot of work I was doing and I wasn't able

758
00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:06.960
to you know, I'm like you said, we were saying,

759
00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:09.880
I'm in Manhattan, you had your experience in it, that's

760
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:14.199
my every day. So it just became a point where

761
00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:16.840
I kind of had to basically just commit to some

762
00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:20.599
other projects for the for the summer and into the fall,

763
00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:23.519
and then we you know, we got a new contract

764
00:39:23.599 --> 00:39:25.400
going and we're able to like start for the new year.

765
00:39:26.280 --> 00:39:28.440
Because I love Quinn and the people like Quinn are great.

766
00:39:29.119 --> 00:39:31.239
It was never anything against it. It was just like, oh,

767
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:34.199
I didn't realize what this was going to be, you know,

768
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:36.519
like what this was going to require, and I've already

769
00:39:36.559 --> 00:39:38.880
like committed to do this book or do that book,

770
00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:43.639
and so it's like, I I gotta I gotta prioritize

771
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.519
these other projects. But when I restart, I will know that, like, Okay,

772
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.280
I need I basically need to be a production company.

773
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.280
I need I need a team, I need help.

774
00:39:54.480 --> 00:39:57.119
I need people that like understand this world to kind

775
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.840
of bounce ideas off of in order to like be

776
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.000
consistent and have a have a rhythm and.

777
00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:07.239
Like just be able to evolve in this space.

778
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:09.880
Really smart to like, because I think I think a

779
00:40:09.920 --> 00:40:11.719
lot of creators find that, like when they come into

780
00:40:11.800 --> 00:40:16.880
Quinn or any space, like their first contract run, they

781
00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:18.880
don't really know how much it's gonna entail, and so

782
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:20.639
you just kind of like come in blind a little

783
00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:23.199
bit and do it, and then next time around it's like, Okay,

784
00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:25.199
now I know what this takes, and so we're gonna

785
00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:26.480
be doing some negotiating here.

786
00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:28.760
Yeah, yeah, which you should.

787
00:40:28.880 --> 00:40:30.840
Man. It's like and so really smarter of you to

788
00:40:30.960 --> 00:40:33.000
like step away and go, Okay, I'm gonna like reevaluate

789
00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:36.440
here how much this this involves and you know how

790
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:39.280
much basically, I mean that's stuck number, like how much I'm.

791
00:40:39.400 --> 00:40:43.679
Worth like the value you know, yeah, yeah, because it's

792
00:40:43.840 --> 00:40:46.000
you know, it's it's not something I don't want to

793
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:47.880
just be putting out anything, you know. I want to

794
00:40:48.000 --> 00:40:49.559
like put out stuff that means something to me and

795
00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:51.679
that I care about mm hm.

796
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:55.920
And you know, this space is evolving, it's growing.

797
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.000
There's so many people like I'm enjoyed just working with writers,

798
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.559
create with different people. It's it's a really fun space

799
00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:05.280
to be in. But you've got to have, you know,

800
00:41:05.360 --> 00:41:08.719
an infrastructure to support yourself that works for you and

801
00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:12.079
keeps you from burning out and kind of overworking yourself

802
00:41:12.119 --> 00:41:13.159
because you got to be inspired.

803
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:15.960
When you returned to Quinn. You returned with the audio

804
00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:20.400
Missed You, which was fucking brilliant, Like yes, it was

805
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:24.480
like you it's hard even like you were saying like, hey,

806
00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:28.000
I'm back, missed you whatever, but folded into a story

807
00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.360
that was it was just so oh my god. It

808
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:32.559
was like meta but not, it was just it was

809
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:33.840
such a brilliant way to return.

810
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:37.760
Yeah, thank you, thank you, like missed you man, Like,

811
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:42.800
oh my goodness. It was interesting because I was another script,

812
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:45.599
a script that I had. There was another script that

813
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:47.679
I think Quinn Quinn had offered me the script and

814
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:48.880
I thought it was cool. I thought it was good,

815
00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:54.880
but it wasn't me, and I wanted I wanted. I

816
00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:57.239
realized I want to. I need to come back as me,

817
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:00.840
you know, like like we have a my listeners, and

818
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.000
we have a certain connection. We already there's already something there,

819
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:06.320
and I want to build off of that. And so

820
00:42:06.920 --> 00:42:10.320
this is this is the moment I missed you, you know,

821
00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:13.360
like this is really what it is. And I've been

822
00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.679
there before. I've been there before where it's like you

823
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.000
you had you had got off to a good start

824
00:42:19.039 --> 00:42:22.800
with somebody, but then things got crazy and then you

825
00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:25.440
know you have to there's distance and then you you know,

826
00:42:25.559 --> 00:42:29.920
reconnect somehow, and you can't reconnect without acknowledging that.

827
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:33.920
Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, it was. It was so smart.

828
00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.719
We know, we've heard what you get out of doing

829
00:42:36.760 --> 00:42:41.039
these audios, which is absolutely brilliant, but what do you

830
00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:43.159
think the listeners are getting out of it?

831
00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:46.559
I will I will go back to I'll call her

832
00:42:46.679 --> 00:42:50.320
the first muse. I was gonna. I can't say her name,

833
00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:52.880
I'll call her the original muse.

834
00:42:53.960 --> 00:42:57.880
And through our conversations and through what she shared with

835
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:01.159
me and what she taught me about, that's kind of

836
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:04.119
what I my first awareness about what people can get

837
00:43:04.159 --> 00:43:06.840
from it, and so for her and what I learned

838
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:10.119
was just a sense of safety just out alone that like,

839
00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:14.920
I am connecting with this voice that's making me feel

840
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:18.679
a sense of safety, and I, you know, I could

841
00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:20.960
see it take place. I could see that take place

842
00:43:21.079 --> 00:43:23.360
in that person, and so I was like, oh, wow,

843
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:27.199
the voice is powerful. And so in this world where

844
00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:33.920
there is so much chaos and stimulation and division and

845
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.639
negativity and like things that are kind of like spiking

846
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.840
people's cortisol levels all day, I wanted to be a part.

847
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:43.079
I wanted my voice to be used in a way

848
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:52.360
that makes people feel safe, care for seeing, loved, noticed, appreciated, affirmed, encouraged, sexy,

849
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:58.079
you know, powerful, ecstatic. I want it to go to

850
00:43:58.159 --> 00:44:00.039
wherever it needs to go. But I think first I

851
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:02.239
realized was I was like, oh, you need feel safe.

852
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:05.239
This is you know, because a lot of people are

853
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:08.719
like what they've told me is the visual stuff. It

854
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:11.840
doesn't do it for them, So they're coming to the

855
00:44:11.920 --> 00:44:15.960
audio for something else, and what is that and where

856
00:44:16.000 --> 00:44:19.199
does it start? I always try to start with vulnerability,

857
00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:24.920
like what what about This is where I care? What

858
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:29.000
about this is where I am vulnerable and like I

859
00:44:30.039 --> 00:44:32.960
am a little bit uneasy or I don't know what's

860
00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:39.400
going to happen next, That anticipation, the is this gonna happen?

861
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:40.800
Is this going to work? I want this?

862
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.400
Or I haven't said this even though I feel this,

863
00:44:44.920 --> 00:44:47.719
you know this is this is this is all territory

864
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:51.679
for me, that this work forces me to investigate as

865
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.599
an artist and as a and as a man.

866
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:58.199
To be honest, Yeah, you've written most of your audios.

867
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:00.599
Right, all of them I've written. Yeah, so I'm going

868
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:04.159
to be working with some writers, that's for sure. But yeah,

869
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.519
all of the audios that are on Quinn Yeah, yeah,

870
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:08.599
all over put together by me.

871
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:13.360
Basically that's going to be like really kind of well, fun, exciting, intimidating,

872
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.559
Like when you come from the world of audiobook narration,

873
00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:18.840
where you definitely have to perform the characters in a book,

874
00:45:19.519 --> 00:45:22.079
but you're reading someone else's work like to come into Quinn.

875
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:23.840
I can understand when you said you need a whole

876
00:45:23.880 --> 00:45:27.519
team because it is a production company, because you're you're writing,

877
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.840
you're recording, you're editing, your marketing or all those kinds

878
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:33.239
of things. What was that like for you the first

879
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:37.199
time you shifted from reading someone else's words to crafting

880
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:40.280
a story on your own and performing it, like going

881
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:41.280
from soup to nuts with it.

882
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:44.719
Well, for me, it was I realized that, like, these

883
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:49.000
stories aren't just like with narration, you have the language,

884
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.400
it's all written out, but there there's a lot of

885
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:56.679
moments that aren't language. You know, they're just breath. They

886
00:45:56.760 --> 00:46:03.480
are an inhale and exhale, a grunt, grow, there's silence,

887
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:07.119
there's a there's kissing, and there's nuances of kissing. There's

888
00:46:07.199 --> 00:46:11.360
so much that's also language body language, but that has sound.

889
00:46:11.760 --> 00:46:16.639
And so I felt a sense of freedom because I

890
00:46:16.800 --> 00:46:19.559
didn't have to put this into word. I don't. I'm

891
00:46:19.599 --> 00:46:22.239
gonna put some things into words and other things I

892
00:46:22.280 --> 00:46:26.440
don't have the burden of like explaining it. You're gonna

893
00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:29.400
hear it, you're gonna feel it, You're gonna like it's

894
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.000
gonna you're gonna inhabit it with me, and that was

895
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:34.679
that was free, That was really freeing that I don't

896
00:46:34.679 --> 00:46:37.320
because I'm a heady guy. You know, I'm a I'm

897
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:39.760
a heady guy and I'm a chatty guy. When I

898
00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:44.199
can like just relax and like connect and not feel

899
00:46:44.239 --> 00:46:47.639
the pressure to like explain every single thing, I feel

900
00:46:47.840 --> 00:46:53.079
like a sense of intimacy or potential to create intimacy.

901
00:46:53.239 --> 00:46:58.280
And yeah, so I just learned the storytelling expands growing.

902
00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:02.039
It sounds like you've just got a connection and you

903
00:47:02.280 --> 00:47:06.440
understand that being vulnerable as a man is sexy to

904
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:09.320
a woman and it's and it's very empowering for women

905
00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:12.599
to have a vulnerable man. But how were you brought

906
00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:17.119
up around strong, powerful women? How how did you arrive

907
00:47:17.480 --> 00:47:18.360
at who you are? Now?

908
00:47:19.519 --> 00:47:23.159
Wow, that's a really great question. But the but the

909
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:30.599
first one, Yes, I grew up around a lot of incredible, decisive, creative,

910
00:47:31.239 --> 00:47:32.440
powerful women.

911
00:47:32.559 --> 00:47:33.280
Those were they were.

912
00:47:33.960 --> 00:47:36.719
That's what I was raised by, you know, not to

913
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:39.760
say that the men weren't that way, but to answer

914
00:47:39.760 --> 00:47:44.840
your question, yes, but I think like there were some.

915
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:48.119
They gave me a great foundation, right, But once you

916
00:47:48.159 --> 00:47:50.239
get into the real world and really start dating, that's

917
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.199
when you see like you see where you're where you're strong,

918
00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:56.440
and also where you're you're vulnerable, where you're where you

919
00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:59.320
need to make some changes, like through trial and error.

920
00:48:00.199 --> 00:48:07.199
And I would say probably like I've always been a

921
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:10.920
kind of caring person and like it's always like kind

922
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:14.480
of sensitive and could feel people. But relationships are tricky.

923
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:17.239
People bring different can bring things, different things out of

924
00:48:17.280 --> 00:48:20.480
you that you don't expect. And you can listen that

925
00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:23.920
that male ego is real, you know, like you could

926
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.000
say you're as sensitive as you want when that testosterone

927
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:29.519
get to going, like you.

928
00:48:31.039 --> 00:48:32.840
Yeah, like it's not just talking anymore.

929
00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:36.440
It's so I'm not trying to pay myself to some

930
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:38.760
perfect guy. I am not, you know what I'm saying,

931
00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:42.519
But I know enough to know that, Like I'm a

932
00:48:42.599 --> 00:48:45.880
happier person and my relationships are happier, and I'm more

933
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:47.639
at ease when I'm vulnerable.

934
00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:48.760
Available.

935
00:48:49.960 --> 00:48:56.519
Accessible, like communicating not withdrawing, you know, Like these are

936
00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:59.719
things I've learned through the years, and I think now

937
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:04.320
I'm at a point in life where I can communicate

938
00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:08.840
and testify to these stories through Quinn and through Patreon

939
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:10.559
and even through through.

940
00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:11.840
A lot of the stories on all the bowl as well.

941
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.239
But I got work to do. I got work to do,

942
00:49:15.039 --> 00:49:18.519
you know, I'm trying.

943
00:49:18.920 --> 00:49:20.519
We all have work to do. I always say like

944
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:22.800
we're never done, which I think is a good thing

945
00:49:22.880 --> 00:49:25.760
because there's always an opportunity to learn more, explore more.

946
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:29.840
There's always room for improvement, which keeps life interesting, like

947
00:49:30.679 --> 00:49:31.719
be boring if we were done.

948
00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:35.239
Yeah, And I was always I'm gonna be honest with you.

949
00:49:35.320 --> 00:49:37.960
I was a Romeo. I was a poem writing. I

950
00:49:38.079 --> 00:49:43.199
was a poem writing, sliding it in the locker, you know, yeah,

951
00:49:43.320 --> 00:49:45.119
I was. I always thought it was supposed to look

952
00:49:45.119 --> 00:49:47.119
like like a TV show. I was always just looking

953
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:49.599
at TV and trying to act out like you know,

954
00:49:49.840 --> 00:49:53.960
cool ever boy with with like my crushes and stuff.

955
00:49:54.079 --> 00:49:58.800
So I feel like that that kid, you know, I'm

956
00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:01.599
still that kid with with the races in the acne

957
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:04.239
and uh, you know, a little love note in his

958
00:50:04.400 --> 00:50:04.960
in his pocket.

959
00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:08.519
It's very saved by the bell.

960
00:50:08.920 --> 00:50:12.199
Yeah right, yeah, you know where I grew up in

961
00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.000
like yeah, adorable. Yeah.

962
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:19.480
Oh, I'm just gonna ask about you growing up. And

963
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:21.760
you said about that communication, et cetera. What was the

964
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.840
were the discussions about sex? Were you very open, you know,

965
00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:28.599
it was those types of discussions had because you seem

966
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:31.159
very comfortable in how you are now talking about it.

967
00:50:31.239 --> 00:50:34.760
Were you always Oh no, not at all. No, we

968
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:39.880
weren't talking about sex. No, no, that was that was

969
00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:41.719
not much of a discussion. If it was at all,

970
00:50:43.039 --> 00:50:46.480
don't have it, you know, yeah, yeah, that's it wasn't

971
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:51.159
much of a discussion. But I think I think going

972
00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:54.800
to acting school, like I think, you know, the program,

973
00:50:55.280 --> 00:50:57.800
it allows you to connect with yourself, connect with your

974
00:50:57.800 --> 00:51:03.199
body around really interesting people who defy condivensis, and kind

975
00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:06.280
of it forces you to grow and evolve. And then

976
00:51:07.159 --> 00:51:10.920
as I've lived and had relationships like that's what's taught me.

977
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:15.760
And also as a narrator, I get to say and

978
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:20.000
be brought into these worlds that like spark my imagination

979
00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:23.519
in so many different ways. And also like romance, they

980
00:51:23.559 --> 00:51:27.280
have these conflicts that have to get resolved, So I'm

981
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.440
always seeing how these conflicts happen, how they can be

982
00:51:31.559 --> 00:51:35.079
resolved in the end, you know what, things weren't communicated

983
00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.159
at first. So I feel like I learn through these

984
00:51:38.519 --> 00:51:39.320
stories as well.

985
00:51:40.360 --> 00:51:43.559
Along along those same lines, like listeners of audio erotica

986
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:47.679
learn a ton about themselves. About their interests, about their kinks,

987
00:51:47.719 --> 00:51:50.800
about their vulnerabilities, about all of those things. And so

988
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:55.840
I'm always curious what creators learn about themselves through the

989
00:51:55.960 --> 00:51:57.000
audios that you perform.

990
00:51:57.880 --> 00:52:00.559
Oh, you guys have such great questions.

991
00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:04.679
Thank you, because I was asking myself that, like, I

992
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:06.280
don't know, maybe a few days ago, I was like,

993
00:52:06.320 --> 00:52:08.400
I think I'm learning a lot about myself as I

994
00:52:08.719 --> 00:52:10.559
look at these artis, I'm like, who am I Like,

995
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:15.360
It's like like who who wrote it? Like who put this? Okay?

996
00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:18.199
So I'm learning like, oh, I.

997
00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.280
I do like a slow burn. I like a slow

998
00:52:23.480 --> 00:52:27.920
like build up. I like tension. I like the unspoken stuff.

999
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:35.239
I like mystery. I like a really powerful climax after

1000
00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:37.840
a long build, you know. And I've also just been

1001
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.360
thinking about, like, oh, what what are the things that

1002
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:44.360
linger in my mind about a person when I when

1003
00:52:44.360 --> 00:52:48.519
I'm not with them, Because in some way, that's where

1004
00:52:48.679 --> 00:52:53.039
some longing begins, or the yearning begins to I want

1005
00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:55.679
to smell that smell, or I want to like just

1006
00:52:56.239 --> 00:52:59.960
the way she laid on me, or it's these very

1007
00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:04.239
unique things that like it begins the desire even though

1008
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.559
they're not there yet or whatever. So it's just showing

1009
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:09.719
because it's like it's like I'm where I start these

1010
00:53:09.800 --> 00:53:12.440
orders from. It's from those moments of like what am

1011
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:18.360
I desiring specifically, and then the story unfalls from there.

1012
00:53:18.440 --> 00:53:21.039
Kind of I see Smudgie getting the couch tingles? Is

1013
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:22.960
that what happen if you love that?

1014
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:23.639
You know?

1015
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:28.079
I just I wish with it be ma looking, but

1016
00:53:28.239 --> 00:53:30.920
it doesn't matter. And how you how you know you identify.

1017
00:53:31.400 --> 00:53:36.320
I just wish more people would listen to what their

1018
00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:42.320
body says, what their body wants, rather than just think

1019
00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:47.960
the calculated decisions that your brain makes, mostly logically or

1020
00:53:48.039 --> 00:53:52.199
for I just wish that somebody would say exactly that Emmanuel,

1021
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:57.519
how that person touched my shoulder, how that person laid

1022
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.920
on my chest afterwards, how that person these are the

1023
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:04.000
things that I miss. I miss that giggle that they had,

1024
00:54:04.119 --> 00:54:06.400
I missed, the way they made me a cup of

1025
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:08.920
tea without art, you know, those are the things that

1026
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:13.400
create that design. It's the foreplay. A very famous British

1027
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:19.239
singer once said, full play begins from you saying goodbye

1028
00:54:19.280 --> 00:54:21.159
in the morning, to the text that you send your

1029
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:23.159
in the day, to what you think about and how

1030
00:54:23.239 --> 00:54:25.880
you think about that person throughout the day. Four play

1031
00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:30.000
isn't just well, she says, spitting on your finger and rubbing,

1032
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:35.039
it's the whole thing. It's the whole Saba, yep. And

1033
00:54:35.159 --> 00:54:38.639
it's so impressive to hear it come from a man.

1034
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:40.960
To be honest, If I'm being honest, I.

1035
00:54:41.039 --> 00:54:45.159
Was just a daydreaming kid, you know, thinking about you

1036
00:54:45.239 --> 00:54:48.280
know who I'm Yeah, I'm in class, I'm looking at

1037
00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:51.400
the chalkboard or whatever. But you know what I'm thinking about.

1038
00:54:51.440 --> 00:54:55.360
I'm thinking about so and so. Yeah, you know, I'm

1039
00:54:55.400 --> 00:54:58.840
thinking about just all of that stuff. And so for

1040
00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:02.880
me as a storyteller, now it's showing me, oh, what

1041
00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:05.360
has resonated with me? What?

1042
00:55:05.679 --> 00:55:06.239
What was it?

1043
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.920
Specifically? What is turning me on that says something about me?

1044
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:10.199
You know?

1045
00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:12.760
Like I remember I woke up from a date one time,

1046
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:17.119
and I mean, I mean I we didn't wake up together,

1047
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:18.239
but like I.

1048
00:55:18.320 --> 00:55:19.519
Was about side good night.

1049
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:22.840
We didn't wake up together. I woke up. I woke

1050
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:27.199
up the next day. But as I was laying down her,

1051
00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:30.719
I guess her her perfume had got on my forearm

1052
00:55:30.880 --> 00:55:33.400
from like holding my hand. So it was like I

1053
00:55:33.519 --> 00:55:36.760
woke up smelling her, even though she wasn't there, and

1054
00:55:37.480 --> 00:55:39.400
but it was like she was right there.

1055
00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:40.239
Yeah.

1056
00:55:40.360 --> 00:55:45.320
So there's those moments show you like just how people

1057
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:47.159
stay with you in these different way. Fragrance is one

1058
00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:49.440
of them, Like yes, yeah.

1059
00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:52.719
Oh god. One of my favorite memories was when my

1060
00:55:52.840 --> 00:55:56.119
wife admitted to me years that later that she used

1061
00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:58.239
to smell my pillowcase in college because she liked the

1062
00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:04.039
smell of my shampoo. And I'm like, oh, but like that,

1063
00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.039
like that to me is for play. It's like, oh

1064
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:09.440
my god, that is because I feel like desired and

1065
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:11.639
seen and thought of when I'm not in the room

1066
00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:14.199
and all those things that you're saying. It's like, yeah,

1067
00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:15.159
that's good.

1068
00:56:15.360 --> 00:56:17.800
When a woman puts your clothes on and then she

1069
00:56:17.880 --> 00:56:20.559
gives them back m hmm, you know, and then you

1070
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:21.880
reach for it again later on.

1071
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:28.039
Yeah, you're you're actually convincing me that being single isn't everything.

1072
00:56:29.199 --> 00:56:32.920
You know, maybe ye want to branch out into a relationship.

1073
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:37.119
You just keep the revolving door going. You don't need one.

1074
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:43.199
Well, yeah, don't judge here, it's buffet. So a lot

1075
00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:46.599
of men are I feel conditioned to suppress their emotions,

1076
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:51.760
suppress their vulnerability, et cetera. And the softness in their voices. So,

1077
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:56.599
being in a very you know, female dominated world of Quinn,

1078
00:56:58.320 --> 00:57:01.960
do you think that the softness in the voice, in

1079
00:57:01.960 --> 00:57:05.280
those types of vulnerabilities are things that all mentioned that about.

1080
00:57:05.719 --> 00:57:08.159
Yeah, I would say, so it's it's good for you.

1081
00:57:08.840 --> 00:57:15.239
We get this very m this very dehumanized version of

1082
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:20.079
humanity as men. That's like, you know, this is what

1083
00:57:20.199 --> 00:57:22.119
it means to be masculine, this is what it means

1084
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:24.599
to be strong, this is what it means to be

1085
00:57:25.440 --> 00:57:28.280
a hero or whatever, and we get we get we

1086
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:31.199
get these images and these storylines in the mass all

1087
00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:34.920
our life, you know, and they can come and bite

1088
00:57:35.039 --> 00:57:38.039
us in the butt when it's actually time to really

1089
00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:42.000
relate and build with someone in a way that requires

1090
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:48.400
us to not perform, you know, these these rights of

1091
00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:51.360
masculinity or whatever. We get caught up in that, and

1092
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:55.440
we think that that's what women want too, you know.

1093
00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.559
We it's even what we tell ourselves if or I've

1094
00:57:58.639 --> 00:58:01.519
seen on the internet or different videos men telling men

1095
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:04.480
this is what women want, you know, and and if

1096
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:06.000
women were listening it probably.

1097
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:09.199
Not really not at all.

1098
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:09.920
Yeah.

1099
00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:13.800
Yeah, So there's a lot out there that I feel

1100
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:19.920
like is toxic for us. To indulge in and keep

1101
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:25.760
you know, keep alive. This work allows me to confront

1102
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.920
myself and you know, all the things that I've been

1103
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.920
influenced by, good and bad, and you know, channel it

1104
00:58:35.000 --> 00:58:38.039
towards something that reaches for connection and honesty and breakthrough.

1105
00:58:38.840 --> 00:58:41.480
Mm hmmm. And it sounds like really kind of like

1106
00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:45.639
there's an emotional confidence that you have, and it sounds

1107
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:46.239
like it's growing.

1108
00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:49.079
It is, it is.

1109
00:58:49.360 --> 00:58:52.239
It's it's been challenging because it's like I'm you know,

1110
00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:54.000
you're I'm sure you've heard this.

1111
00:58:54.079 --> 00:58:56.079
People are that your own your your own worst critic.

1112
00:58:56.599 --> 00:59:01.800
Yeah, I'm like that as well, always like nitpicking and

1113
00:59:01.880 --> 00:59:05.960
finding what's wrong, and but this it forces me to like,

1114
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.159
you know, just accept the fact that there is no perfection.

1115
00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:13.960
But you know, this was the process. I'm at peace

1116
00:59:14.000 --> 00:59:15.280
with it. I gotta let this go.

1117
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:18.519
And then there's something coming out next week anyway.

1118
00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:21.079
So I'm curious, like when you know, people talk a

1119
00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:24.480
lot about representation and they usually mean like what scene, right,

1120
00:59:25.119 --> 00:59:29.320
So your whole world is what's heard? So what does

1121
00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:31.239
representation sound like to you?

1122
00:59:32.519 --> 00:59:40.000
For me, my authentic self, when I'm with someone, how

1123
00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:46.039
I am what that how I sound not not like

1124
00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:53.239
a scripted version of me, but a goofy, stuttering, singing,

1125
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:59.199
off key version. That is, I'm drawn to you, and

1126
00:59:59.280 --> 01:00:01.480
I'm also like a little intimidated too.

1127
01:00:02.480 --> 01:00:03.880
M m yeah, m hm.

1128
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:09.280
For me, it's the messiness if the it's what we

1129
01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:14.280
can't control. It's yeah, it's it's the sticky, icky place,

1130
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:18.480
you know. But that's that for me, Like, that's that's

1131
01:00:18.519 --> 01:00:22.559
what I want to capture in my in my storytelling,

1132
01:00:22.639 --> 01:00:25.559
my my when I say, when I'm in you know,

1133
01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:28.960
engaged in a moment with someone or like how I sound,

1134
01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:33.880
representation is whoever you are, represent that represent that right

1135
01:00:33.920 --> 01:00:34.400
where you are.

1136
01:00:35.119 --> 01:00:38.639
Yeah, yeah. How do you feel about the representation of

1137
01:00:38.760 --> 01:00:42.039
being a black creator within the audio erotica space?

1138
01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:46.360
Oh? No, I think about it because when I I'm

1139
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:49.679
listening and and I'm also so of course I'm seeing

1140
01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.320
I'm like, okay, well where the brother's at. I'm hearing

1141
01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:56.199
different people, whether it be on Reddit or YouTube or

1142
01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:57.119
quinn or whatever.

1143
01:00:57.159 --> 01:00:58.719
I'm like, oh it's not it's not that many.

1144
01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:05.079
But I feel like sometimes as a black creator, or

1145
01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:07.079
at least for me, like what I sense was, I

1146
01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:09.239
was like, okay, if I'm on if you're creating this.

1147
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:11.679
It's got to be like for ever, like for your

1148
01:01:12.039 --> 01:01:14.320
average woman to be able to come and listen to

1149
01:01:14.440 --> 01:01:18.159
regardless of color, regardless or whatever. But I don't want

1150
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:21.920
to give a bland like I don't want to like

1151
01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:27.079
try to like lose my or my individuality and the

1152
01:01:27.159 --> 01:01:29.559
way that I do. I this is the way I

1153
01:01:29.679 --> 01:01:31.599
say it, This is the way that I'm doing. This

1154
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:35.599
is who I'm talking to, you know, And I want

1155
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:38.119
to stay true to that because that's who I really am.

1156
01:01:38.920 --> 01:01:43.239
That's who I really am. So I think there it's universally,

1157
01:01:44.800 --> 01:01:47.119
it's universal to be specific to who you are. If

1158
01:01:47.159 --> 01:01:49.079
you're being specific to who you are and your voice,

1159
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:53.760
it won't whoever's listening will feel that, and they won't

1160
01:01:53.840 --> 01:01:58.679
feel alienated. They'll feel they'll feel drawn in. And I

1161
01:01:58.800 --> 01:02:04.119
think what I've heard from particularly the black black listeners,

1162
01:02:05.519 --> 01:02:10.320
because like the women that have I've mostly been in

1163
01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:13.960
relationships with relationships with have been black women, so they

1164
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:16.719
there's a way that I am with them that's unique

1165
01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:17.519
than if I was in.

1166
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:20.360
A relationship with someone of a different culture or whatever.

1167
01:02:20.960 --> 01:02:24.159
So I try to stay true to that too, you know,

1168
01:02:24.360 --> 01:02:27.840
Like I try to stay true to how to how

1169
01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:30.840
my relationships have gone on and what's worked for me

1170
01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:34.480
in relationships. And I feel like that has resonated with

1171
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:38.000
a lot of the listeners of color, and I love that.

1172
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:42.199
I want sisters to feel seen because you know, the

1173
01:02:42.920 --> 01:02:44.920
white women, y'all got a lot of options, you know.

1174
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:48.320
So it's like I gotta bring. I gotta bring as

1175
01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:54.159
much as I can bring without making it too you know, specific.

1176
01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:57.039
But at the same time, I want everybody to be

1177
01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:58.760
able to get something out of it too, you know.

1178
01:02:59.039 --> 01:02:59.960
I just want to stay true to my.

1179
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:03.039
I imagine it's going to be incredibly challenging as a

1180
01:03:03.119 --> 01:03:08.880
creator to think about inclusivity in the audios that you create,

1181
01:03:09.639 --> 01:03:14.400
but also wanting to have them catered to. Like I

1182
01:03:14.480 --> 01:03:16.280
just think about like we hear from women lots a

1183
01:03:16.360 --> 01:03:18.920
lot of times were like if there's an audio where

1184
01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:22.199
the creator is talking about like lifting the listener up

1185
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:24.679
on the counter, let's say, and someone who's listening to

1186
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:26.840
that going, oh god, I'm you know, I'm too overweight.

1187
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:28.840
They wouldn't be able to lift me. Takes them out.

1188
01:03:29.079 --> 01:03:31.559
Or you know, we've spoken to black women who said

1189
01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:34.599
when they talk about like someone blushing, they're like doesn't

1190
01:03:34.599 --> 01:03:37.199
really work for me. So it's got to be challenging

1191
01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:38.079
as a creator to.

1192
01:03:39.880 --> 01:03:42.320
Oh it is you know, like how do you bet?

1193
01:03:42.400 --> 01:03:43.639
How do you want that line?

1194
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:49.320
Who? Well, you know, it's I feel like it's trial

1195
01:03:49.360 --> 01:03:49.719
and error.

1196
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:53.079
There's there's been times where I feel like Quinn has

1197
01:03:53.119 --> 01:03:55.559
asked me to like maybe just remove this word or

1198
01:03:55.599 --> 01:03:57.239
remove this, and that's how I learned.

1199
01:03:57.320 --> 01:03:59.559
I was like, oh, okay, this is too specific.

1200
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.639
This is you know, So I've learned from you know,

1201
01:04:03.719 --> 01:04:06.280
submitting different things where it's like, okay, this is my

1202
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:08.639
draft of it when it might give me some edits

1203
01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:11.440
I'm making, I'm learning for next time that there's a

1204
01:04:11.480 --> 01:04:13.239
different way I can say this. There's a different way

1205
01:04:13.239 --> 01:04:17.199
I can you know, create this moment. So Quinn has

1206
01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:20.280
been good about educating me like about that, but it

1207
01:04:20.519 --> 01:04:23.920
is nuanced. It is difficult. Sometimes you don't know what

1208
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:28.559
people might be offended by, like even to like use

1209
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:35.679
or mention of use of protection stuff like that. I

1210
01:04:35.840 --> 01:04:39.239
was like, okay, well, you know, is it how how

1211
01:04:39.400 --> 01:04:40.760
real do we keep it here? You know?

1212
01:04:41.039 --> 01:04:42.920
Is it implied? Is it not implied?

1213
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:46.480
Do you want me to take twenty thirty seconds like

1214
01:04:46.599 --> 01:04:48.239
I would have to in real life to do this

1215
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:49.800
moment or do you guys want to stay in it

1216
01:04:50.119 --> 01:04:54.000
and just keep so there's It depends. It depends on

1217
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:57.440
the story. But I I just know that, like, I'm

1218
01:04:57.599 --> 01:05:01.639
never trying to, you know, alienate anyone. I'm always trying

1219
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:05.559
to make it as inclusive as possible, and I want

1220
01:05:05.639 --> 01:05:07.760
people to feel seen and care for. So I just

1221
01:05:07.800 --> 01:05:10.039
always try to be mindful. I don't always get it right,

1222
01:05:10.320 --> 01:05:13.960
but I do. It's something I'm paying attention to as

1223
01:05:14.000 --> 01:05:15.920
I go along. Because people have brought up certain stuff

1224
01:05:15.920 --> 01:05:17.639
in the comments, I'm like, oh, no, they're right. Yeah,

1225
01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:19.920
I hear that. You know, I'm gonna keep that in mind.

1226
01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:21.719
Yeah, that's true. I didn't realize I said that.

1227
01:05:22.360 --> 01:05:22.559
You know.

1228
01:05:23.519 --> 01:05:25.880
It's great that, you know, listeners use the comments section

1229
01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:28.440
as a place for feedback as well as like, hey

1230
01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:30.679
just see you know, because you can't know it all.

1231
01:05:30.719 --> 01:05:31.599
There's just no way you can.

1232
01:05:32.639 --> 01:05:37.199
Yeah. Yeah, but they're very forgiving and also like they're

1233
01:05:37.280 --> 01:05:38.039
they're letting you know.

1234
01:05:38.800 --> 01:05:39.639
Yeah yeah.

1235
01:05:39.679 --> 01:05:43.840
I mean I can't remember ever really seeing a comment

1236
01:05:44.480 --> 01:05:50.559
that wasn't constructive in a very generic way or even spit.

1237
01:05:50.639 --> 01:05:53.079
I think I saw one on your one on one

1238
01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:56.760
of your audios where they said about using music. I

1239
01:05:56.800 --> 01:05:59.239
think it was your most recent one actually about this

1240
01:05:59.320 --> 01:06:02.079
would have been great with some music in the background. Yeah,

1241
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:05.280
you know, they just were offering some advice and it's like.

1242
01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:09.280
Great, just a suggestion, it's so great. Shall we dive

1243
01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:10.400
into some listener questions?

1244
01:06:10.719 --> 01:06:11.440
I think we should.

1245
01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:14.800
Let's do all right, let's do it because that was

1246
01:06:14.840 --> 01:06:19.559
a lot. Yeah, the all cliticians. We apologize, but we'll

1247
01:06:19.559 --> 01:06:29.599
get spect time. So this is from lit Dejarrem. Does

1248
01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:32.280
your family know what you do and what is their reaction?

1249
01:06:33.199 --> 01:06:33.360
Uh?

1250
01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:38.440
They know how narrow romance audio books mm hmm. And

1251
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:43.400
I have mentioned this, but they don't know. They don't

1252
01:06:43.400 --> 01:06:45.559
know what this is for real, for real. So they

1253
01:06:45.639 --> 01:06:48.159
know about they know, Yeah, they know about it, but

1254
01:06:48.280 --> 01:06:49.599
not not really.

1255
01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:52.039
Mm hmmm, yep, yep.

1256
01:06:52.159 --> 01:06:52.320
Yeah.

1257
01:06:52.400 --> 01:06:54.440

Guys, I live in Central Harlem. I'm surrounded by like

01:08:39.880 --> 01:08:43.800
soul food cities. Like it's just so much comfort food

1285
01:08:43.840 --> 01:08:46.960
that I'm surrounded by. So I'm ordering comfort food a lot.

1286
01:08:47.079 --> 01:08:51.920
I'm ordering all yeah, you know, and I'm just telling myself.

1287
01:08:52.000 --> 01:08:53.720
Last week I got to start with the Uber eats man.

1288
01:08:55.159 --> 01:09:02.079
It's comfort food that I'm on now. Okay, so during

1289
01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:06.479
the winter I was having short rib mashed potatoes with

1290
01:09:06.720 --> 01:09:11.159
like the gravy and pearl onions and like garlic bread

1291
01:09:11.199 --> 01:09:11.920
and like asparagus.

1292
01:09:12.359 --> 01:09:14.079
Like that was like a comfort meal a lot during

1293
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:16.279
the wintertime. Now that's amazing.

1294
01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:18.119
It's a lot of food.

1295
01:09:18.600 --> 01:09:20.960
And I'm a big I'm a big breakfast guy too.

1296
01:09:21.319 --> 01:09:23.000
I love getting up in the morning. I love the

1297
01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:25.880
smell of fresh coffee. I love just like a classic

1298
01:09:26.079 --> 01:09:30.239
big breakfast, a slow morning with some music.

1299
01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:35.079
And yeah, yeah, we love a good fry up in

1300
01:09:35.159 --> 01:09:40.119
the old in England we do nice bacon, egg mushrooms, yeah, sausages,

1301
01:09:40.279 --> 01:09:43.239
baked beans, the two rounds of toast black pudding.

1302
01:09:44.880 --> 01:09:45.199
All right.

1303
01:09:45.600 --> 01:09:51.640
This one is from Good Diver Underscore Amazon Underscore twenty eighth.

1304
01:09:52.840 --> 01:09:55.760
Which did you find more challenging to record audio books

1305
01:09:55.920 --> 01:09:57.000
or Quinn audios?

1306
01:09:57.800 --> 01:10:00.760
W Yeah, you have to.

1307
01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:03.079
Well, the way that I record them is you got

1308
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:08.319
you know, the background stuff, you have the sound effects

1309
01:10:08.800 --> 01:10:12.000
with the intimacy and all that. All that is way

1310
01:10:12.079 --> 01:10:16.600
more involved than like sitting down from the iPad and

1311
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:17.920
just making sure it's quiet.

1312
01:10:18.560 --> 01:10:19.000
Mm hmm.

1313
01:10:19.439 --> 01:10:22.439
Although audiobooks are no or no, they're not easy to do.

1314
01:10:23.159 --> 01:10:25.920
Yeah, you got a ten fifteen twenty hour audiobook.

1315
01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:29.279
That's not easy to do, but it's just it's a

1316
01:10:29.319 --> 01:10:32.840
little simpler than The Queen's The Queenn Stories.

1317
01:10:33.439 --> 01:10:36.560
Okay, I'm going to quickly put in my request for Collapse. Okay,

1318
01:10:37.720 --> 01:10:44.560
Nick Meyer, I think it an interesting combo, right, Juliette, Okay,

1319
01:10:45.000 --> 01:10:52.359
I think would be right. Or Sarah. I think Sarah

1320
01:10:52.359 --> 01:10:53.159
would be another good one.

1321
01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:56.119
Sarah, all right, I'm taking notes.

1322
01:10:56.439 --> 01:10:58.520
Thanks for our orders.

1323
01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:02.000
In question jess one two eight eight, I wanted to

1324
01:11:02.079 --> 01:11:06.600
ask Emanuel what has been his favorite book to narrate

1325
01:11:07.000 --> 01:11:07.399
so far.

1326
01:11:08.720 --> 01:11:09.359
I did a book.

1327
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:12.560
So there's two books that did most recently.

1328
01:11:12.680 --> 01:11:18.840
One was called twelve oh one and the other one

1329
01:11:18.920 --> 01:11:20.039
was called Chaotic Ties.

1330
01:11:20.840 --> 01:11:23.960
I saw one that was like clipped to this video

1331
01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:27.159
on Instagram that went viral some of the audio from it.

1332
01:11:28.439 --> 01:11:31.000
So the fans really like like that one in twelve

1333
01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:34.119
one one has done really well. I know the I

1334
01:11:34.239 --> 01:11:37.600
personally know the other narrator that did that duet style

1335
01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:39.720
with me, and so that was.

1336
01:11:39.720 --> 01:11:41.760
Fun as well. Like I'm always looking forward to them,

1337
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:43.159
like they're all my favorite.

1338
01:11:43.439 --> 01:11:46.159
I'm surprised sometimes by how much I remember about some

1339
01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:48.640
of these books I haven't done from years ago. So

1340
01:11:49.119 --> 01:11:52.079
I feel like they they they all have a piece

1341
01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:54.600
of me. Every character like it has a piece of me.

1342
01:11:55.640 --> 01:12:00.199
From HCP Underscore Styles, how do you mentally prepare to

1343
01:12:00.319 --> 01:12:02.720
create a spicy audio? Do you have like a specific routine?

1344
01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:07.520
It's evolving, It evolves because every I think stories are different,

1345
01:12:07.960 --> 01:12:12.479
but I think for me, I try to feel out

1346
01:12:13.199 --> 01:12:18.319
what's calling to me most, what story is coming to mind.

1347
01:12:19.479 --> 01:12:22.239
There's some stories that like I've I feel like I've

1348
01:12:22.279 --> 01:12:26.039
pushed I could do that, but I'm not ready to

1349
01:12:26.039 --> 01:12:27.800
do that one yet. I'll push that back in my mind.

1350
01:12:27.840 --> 01:12:32.399
But then I've learned that things come out. Stories already

1351
01:12:32.600 --> 01:12:34.520
are ready to be told when they tap you on

1352
01:12:34.560 --> 01:12:36.319
the shoulder and you just got to listen to it.

1353
01:12:37.399 --> 01:12:38.840
I think that was kind of the case for me

1354
01:12:39.000 --> 01:12:45.760
with the one, the Exception and that one. I feel

1355
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:49.760
like I started with an idea and it evolved, like

1356
01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:53.399
there were certain things that changed as I as I

1357
01:12:53.560 --> 01:12:56.039
like recorded it, Like I didn't write that one out

1358
01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:58.800
from beginning to end, because I didn't know exactly which,

1359
01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:01.960
like how I was going to explore the turn in it,

1360
01:13:03.000 --> 01:13:05.640
and so I had to like record the first ten

1361
01:13:05.920 --> 01:13:08.640
minutes to see what I wanted the next ten to

1362
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:10.319
do or how to like transition itself.

1363
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:18.279
A final question from Smudgie underscored nine nine nine. That's right,

1364
01:13:18.840 --> 01:13:21.279
what's your most favorite podcast to listen to?

1365
01:13:22.279 --> 01:13:25.680
Jesus the one of the critizens. Listen to listen to

1366
01:13:27.079 --> 01:13:34.720
queen Casts. Baby, Yeah, it's clin Cast. Listen y'all, y'all

1367
01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.800
did these questions that y'all that you guys asked were extraordinary?

1368
01:13:40.039 --> 01:13:43.159
You asked great questions for real. These are things that

1369
01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:44.960
I've popped up in my mind. I'm like, were they

1370
01:13:45.039 --> 01:13:49.199
in my brain? I think about this all the time. Yeah,

1371
01:13:50.159 --> 01:13:51.079
this is really fun.

1372
01:13:51.800 --> 01:13:52.520
Oh I'm so glad.

1373
01:13:53.720 --> 01:13:56.319
Couple to close, A couple of questions to close. These

1374
01:13:56.399 --> 01:13:59.720
may be the best yet, just say, Manuel, brace yourself.

1375
01:14:00.359 --> 01:14:05.199
Brace What would eighteen year old you think about the

1376
01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:08.960
life that you've built now with your voice?

1377
01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:12.760
He would not even be able to process this? Really,

1378
01:14:14.039 --> 01:14:16.439
the eighteen year old me? Are we talking about the

1379
01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:19.199
eighteen year old me before I had sexer? Before or

1380
01:14:19.239 --> 01:14:26.119
after either both? Yeah? Okay, you know part of that year,

1381
01:14:26.439 --> 01:14:27.319
I was still virgin.

1382
01:14:27.399 --> 01:14:30.880
Okay, maybe like the last you know, the last few months,

1383
01:14:30.920 --> 01:14:32.479
I was able to cross over the other side.

1384
01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:40.560
But I didn't know. Man, he's done. Stunned, stunned, I

1385
01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:44.159
do you can do that with just your voice.

1386
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:47.520
You can get a woman to the finish line by

1387
01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:48.760
just speaking.

1388
01:14:49.399 --> 01:14:49.920
Its mudge.

1389
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:53.079
I didn't know what the finish line was. I didn't

1390
01:14:53.119 --> 01:14:56.199
know what it was. I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't. Yeah,

1391
01:14:56.319 --> 01:14:59.319
like I had, I wouldn't even know what I'm talking about,

1392
01:15:02.039 --> 01:15:05.399
bless and man, know what I was talking about?

1393
01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:07.359
Like what.

1394
01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:09.560
So sweet?

1395
01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:12.239
But then Emmanuel, in the last few months of his

1396
01:15:12.399 --> 01:15:13.359
eighteenth year.

1397
01:15:15.199 --> 01:15:16.560
Or two, I learned the fingers.

1398
01:15:16.760 --> 01:15:19.760
Yes, I sure did. I sure did well.

1399
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:24.880
He would think, uh, he would probably just uh like, okay,

1400
01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:27.359
I get better over.

1401
01:15:27.359 --> 01:15:36.680
Time premature right from here, I wonder.

1402
01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:40.239
You do last more than two and a half minutes?

1403
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:44.800
Great, because because because the audio was twenty minutes, so

1404
01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:49.479
at least got.

1405
01:15:55.640 --> 01:15:56.039
So good.

1406
01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:03.439
That's what it does do. And then well, two more questions,

1407
01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:05.600
what do you have coming up that you're excited about?

1408
01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:07.119
That the cliticians should know about.

1409
01:16:07.880 --> 01:16:11.880
Pushing the Emmanuel Ingram experience on Patreon that's something I'm

1410
01:16:12.159 --> 01:16:14.880
really locked in about now. But as always, there some

1411
01:16:14.960 --> 01:16:18.600
cool stuff coming for Quinn. I'm excited for some of

1412
01:16:18.680 --> 01:16:22.560
the projects I have planned for some drops later this month.

1413
01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:26.119
Okay, final question for real zes this time. All right,

1414
01:16:27.000 --> 01:16:29.119
how do you define sexual freedom?

1415
01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:36.560
Ooh? Permission permission granted. Yeah, that's how I how I

1416
01:16:36.640 --> 01:16:39.319
allow whatever is granted permission.

1417
01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:41.800
That's where we go.

1418
01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:44.760
I felt like an open road that was just like

1419
01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:46.880
just wherever we go in we're going.

1420
01:16:47.319 --> 01:16:51.439
You know, miss Yep, I need a man. You're amazing,

1421
01:16:52.159 --> 01:16:54.119
You are amazing.

1422
01:16:54.680 --> 01:16:57.079
Thanks for having me. This is great.

1423
01:16:57.560 --> 01:16:59.560
You blew my mind all the time. But thank you

1424
01:16:59.640 --> 01:17:02.039
so much for taking the time. We know you're likely

1425
01:17:02.079 --> 01:17:03.960
a very busy man, and so we appreciate you taking

1426
01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:05.039
them time to come chat with us.

1427
01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:07.000
Sometimes it's just a breath of fresh air for us

1428
01:17:07.039 --> 01:17:09.680
to hear somebody like you, with a voice like yours,

1429
01:17:10.039 --> 01:17:13.079
with a responsibility like yours, of vulnerability like yours. It's

1430
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:17.000
it's impressive and long long mate, continue.

1431
01:17:17.600 --> 01:17:18.279
Oh thank you.

1432
01:17:18.880 --> 01:17:21.239
I received every bit of that, and I'm appreciative for

1433
01:17:21.359 --> 01:17:24.680
y'all allowing me to come on your platform and talk

1434
01:17:24.720 --> 01:17:27.960
to you. Hopefully this isn't my last time coming.

1435
01:17:28.800 --> 01:17:31.119
Oh no, it wouldn't be the same as it isn't

1436
01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:34.000
our last time coming to your audio was just joking, joking.

1437
01:17:34.720 --> 01:17:42.640
I'm not joking, right, I have no filter. I'm renowned.

1438
01:17:43.199 --> 01:17:45.159
I'm going to say, somebody, you have been so well

1439
01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:47.880
behaved with this conversation. And I was like, I was concerned.

1440
01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:50.920
Do you know why, because I was just taking away

1441
01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:54.840
of the importance of it, and yeah, leaned away from

1442
01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:56.680
the comedy, but I can't help dropping it in every

1443
01:17:56.720 --> 01:18:02.760
now and again. The pleasure, Emmanuel, thank you again so

1444
01:18:03.079 --> 01:18:05.680
very much for joining us here at the Queen Cast studio.

1445
01:18:05.960 --> 01:18:07.960
And yeah, we can't wait to chat to you again.

1446
01:18:08.760 --> 01:18:10.760
Thank you for having me. It was a pleasure.

1447
01:18:11.720 --> 01:18:15.920
I'm so glad that you guys invited me because you know,

1448
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:19.000
the cliticians. I haven't mean to touch base. I've been

1449
01:18:19.079 --> 01:18:22.840
meaning to h you know, come through and you know,

1450
01:18:23.000 --> 01:18:24.800
thank you for all the support that you guys have

1451
01:18:25.079 --> 01:18:26.760
for me, and I hope we can you know, do

1452
01:18:26.840 --> 01:18:27.720
this again sometime soon.

1453
01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:31.600
Thanks, thanks, thanks for coming so.

1454
01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:34.840
Well.

1455
01:18:34.880 --> 01:18:36.439
There's an annual thank God for that.

1456
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:37.199
He was brilliant.

1457
01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:40.359
Oh my god, it was like so good hit right,

1458
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:42.239
I mean, yeah, oh god.

1459
01:18:42.560 --> 01:18:47.680
Genuinly connection. I felt like he knew he said we

1460
01:18:47.800 --> 01:18:50.000
were asking the questions that he was like, oh my god.

1461
01:18:50.560 --> 01:18:54.039
And I felt like when he was talking, you know,

1462
01:18:54.159 --> 01:18:55.760
I had in my mind certain questions and he was

1463
01:18:55.800 --> 01:18:56.600
just answering them.

1464
01:18:57.159 --> 01:18:58.960
Yes, I felt the same. I would think about the

1465
01:18:59.039 --> 01:19:01.319
questions and I'm like, I was just about to ask that. Okay,

1466
01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:04.119
we were like, yeah, we weren't sync.

1467
01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:08.399
He's brilliant. I really really felt a connection with him

1468
01:19:08.960 --> 01:19:11.239
on what he's trying to do through his audios, how

1469
01:19:11.319 --> 01:19:15.119
he's doing them, what his responsibilities are. I just felt

1470
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:16.239
like he had it, he knew.

1471
01:19:17.199 --> 01:19:19.199
I totally I get it. I get exactly what you're saying,

1472
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:21.840
because I felt the same, like he just as he seems,

1473
01:19:21.920 --> 01:19:25.000
really plugged in for all the right reasons, really passionate

1474
01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:28.359
about what he's doing, really smart about what the space needs.

1475
01:19:29.039 --> 01:19:34.079
And I mean that Emmanuel Ingram experience sounds.

1476
01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:39.720
That and the collap with Hecky Bear of some sort

1477
01:19:39.720 --> 01:19:40.680
of magic mic thing.

1478
01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:45.439
Oh right, I mean, the the Emmanual Ingram experience will

1479
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:48.960
