Hello. What's your name?
Hello, my name is Lee and for obvious reasons. I'm also known as The Lost Voice Guy
Okay, and how long have you lost your voice?
I just knew you were going to ask something that I hadn't thought about
beforehand
So, please excuse the awkward silence while I type out my answer.
I've been speechless for 37 years. Well, tell me why you decide to enter the show this year.
I think I entered Britain's Got Talent for the same reason everyone does:
to meet Ant & Dec.
This is all going so well up until that point. The stage, Lee, is yours
Hello ladies and gentlemen
As you may be able to tell I'm a struggling stand-up comedian who also struggles to stand up.
To be honest, I'm not sure how good I am
I'll leave that for you to decide but
Just so you know, if you don't laugh at the disabled guy you are going to hell
When I realized I'd never be able to talk again I was speechless.
I have lived in Newcastle all my life
Yes! But for some reason I still haven't picked up the accent.
I can see that some of you are trying to figure out where you know me from
Maybe it would help if I started saying phrases such as the next train to arrive on
Platform 12 (???)
And from my time at the post office, please go to cashier number eight.
I Got the train here today,
i always like to sit in those seats for disabled people.
I was about halfway here when another disabled person got on and asked me to move.
I didn't realize I'd be playing disabled Top Trumps when I got on or I would have dressed more special
Needless to say I didn't give up my seat
Who cares if he was both blind and deaf?
I was there first.
It was very awkward. He couldn't see that I was still there and
I couldn't tell him I wasn't moving because I can't speak.
Before I leave you I have one more thing to say
I hate that we have so many
politically correct words to describe
Disabled people now
It's all special needs
special schools
special olympics,
I don't know what is so special about me
That is why it always alarms me when I hear about special forces going to war
You've been a fantastic audience
Goodbye
Hello, it's great to be back on Britain's Got Talent
If you missed it, my audition is on YouTube.
I think the person who uploaded it is taking the mick though
Because the comments are disabled
Sorry if I seem a bit nervous tonight but being in the semi-final has made me very emotional
You can probably tell by my voice
It's such an honor to be performing here
I hope my parents can be proud of me now
Because it's been 37 years and they are still waiting to hear if my first word is going to be mummy or daddy
In case you were still in any doubt, I really am disabled it's definitely not just really good acting
Or just in it for the parking space.
I lost my voice when I was very young and I haven't found it since
I've looked everywhere for it, down the back of the chair, in the washing machine, everywhere.
On the bright side. I did find the television remote control so I can still mute Britain's Got Talent
Whenever Simon speaks
It's been really crazy since my first audition
Yesterday I was invited on to a radio show to do an interview, but I couldn't be bothered going
So I just sent my computer and a note saying press play
You get asked some really strange questions when you are disabled so
Let's deal with the questions I get asked every day
That's a bit of a personal question fat's and small
But since you asked I have a disability call of cerebral palsy
Don't worry. You can't catch it from me. It just means you better not get stuck behind me on the stairs if there's a fire
I have been disabled since before it was popular
Finally I'd like to leave you with an impression I've been working on
Hello, this is your queen
One orders you to vote for lost voice guy
Or the Corgi gets it
Ladies and gentlemans, you been a wonderful audience. Even if you hadn't I can't really change what I say at this point
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I know what you're all thinking
The Famer has gone to his head. He's had a facelift and it's almost as bad
as Simon
The truth is that after winning the semi-final I went to the bar to celebrate
People kept asking if I wanted another drink by the time I typed no they bought me one
In the end I fell over so now I known as the lost balance guy
It isn't so hard to interact with the audience when you use a computer
So, please don't heckle me or we'll be here all night.
I will try to talk to someone though
Hello David, oh hi a nice tile in this generic town or city
Yes, thank you
Good
People have often asked me why I want to put myself in a position where everyone can stare and laugh at me
The truth is that it happens to me every day anyway
At least this way there's a scheduled time and place for it
Because I want to be famous too.
I started off in a disabled steps tribute band
called ramps
That is a bit of an uphill struggle
And to often think about going on The X Factor just to see the look on their faces when they realize I can't actually sing
or dance
or talk
But I like to play you a clip of what I think would happen. If I did go on The X Factor
Don't you know I am still standing better than I ever do
This time pieces in my life with
Finally you probably be wondering what I've been pressing on my tablet throughout the competition but
The truth is bad. I've actually just spent the last three minutes voting for myself
Why don't you have the fun laughing at a disabled man, goodbye
