Set Voice

I realised today I have a set voice.

By this I mean a voice or manner of speaking that I use exclusively on set. I don't think I have ever talked this way before, nor do I when I'm in a normal situation.

I call everyone lovely.

Now people will know that I use lovely a lot anyway.

'Want a cup of tea?'
'Thanks, that'd be LOVELY.'

'Here's that dead squirrel you wanted.'
'LOVELY, thanks.'

And so on.

But on set, I wLk past someone ...

'Alright, LOVELY?

... If I mess with their costume ...

'Is that comfortable, LOVELY?'

I just become some sort of maternal figure, but not quite right as I don't have the confidence yet to probably look after someone. Mostly I just try and stay out of the way until
I'm needed.

I guess it's not bad to have a professional
Manner, even if it's not exactly in the conventional snsd.
