Recording Ancient Woman 2 - Voice Acting for Science fiction

While Bill O'Reilly is losing his job at Fox due partially to the sexual harassment scandals and financial reasons, Jones in the middle of a messy divorce had his lawyer state that he just a "performance artist", or more easily understood as an actor with an artistic purpose. Yet his site "infowars" is mistaken as fact by readers. This is not a new concept. Stephen Colbert played a "Character" when working on Comedy Central. T...
