Robby Hoffman

falling more into myself.

I met people at school and university from New York again.

And I started thinking, well, what do I even sound like anymore?

Because they sound like people, you know, everybody at home, my brothers who weren't at this fancy school and had no reason to be anyone.

And I'm sure they had their own things, so I can't speak for them.

But

I don't know.

I just stopped policing so much how I sound, how I look, but it was over time.

I would just play around with it because I remember thinking, like, if I caught myself sounding too natural, then I would go back to a jappier voice.

like i would do like a phone at the same location yeah like the next day no no like i would like let's say in the heat of the moment story and i got to meet robbie then i was like so like you know i would do something that would bring it back to a more canadian jappy like elite way of speaking versus in my home and and by the way my older sister her voice and i don't even remember but like

She has a phone voice because she worked in sales her whole life.

That's where the term phony is from, by the way.

Oh, that's so funny.

So yeah, so her phone voice.

I worked on that daily.

And then I just started thinking, I don't know, the pendulums.

And then I was like,

My voice landed somewhere in the middle.

When I'm on stage and stuff, I can be as whatever as whatever, but it was confusing for so long that I was trying to sound and sit and every little thing I thought about.

this is a very broad question yeah so your feeling of gender and how many people do you think are like truly in between i have so much to say because i find myself like i'm just like pretty conventional like i don't i don't have any you're a faggot i'm gonna tell you why but i have to pee okay oh you're gonna pee no please i can't wait
