In holland we also say:

"teut"
"tipsy"
"aangeschoten"
"onder invloed zijn" (being under influence)
"lamlazarus" (lam & lazarus combined)
"straalbezopen" (ray-drunk)
"apezat" or "zat als een aap" (drunk as a monky)
"als een maleier zijn" (being drunk like a Malaisian)
"om zijn" (being upside-down)
"een stuk in je kraag hebben" (having a chip in your collar)
"als een spons zijn" (being like a spunge)
"als een gieter zijn" (being like a (what's it you use to water plants?))
"natnek" (someone who drinks a lot all the time, keeping his neck, or throat, wet)

I hope I didn't copy any you already had.
There would also be a plethora of synonyms on being high

Do with it as you please.

Fessie/Festi(val)

"onder tafel" (under the table, yes it's actually known in Holland too)
"klem" (stuck)
"hem om hebben" (just like "om zijn")

there's also "zuipschuit", which describes the person as a ship sailing on booze
"als een ton" (full as a barrel)
"weinig bloed in zijn alcohol" (little blood in his alcohol)
"van de wereld" (off this world, only when one is really OUT)
"heeft een kater" (has a hang-over (literally a tom-cat))
"vrolijk" (merry)
"beschonken" (filled up)
"aan zijn tax" (had enough)
"over zijn tax" (had more than enough)
"uitgeschakeld" (switched off)
"uit" (off)
"in een roes"
"bedwelmd"
"beneveld"
"rondom"

"heeft em zitten" (has it sitting down)
"afgeladen" (loaded to capacity)
"voor de vlakte" (down and out)

And suddenly I thought of a German term: Satt

another few in dutch:

"een beetje scheef" (means: just a little out of balance)
"zat als een kanon" (loaded as a canon, absolutely pissed)
"zat als een tempelier" (loaded as a knight Templar, more than pissed)
"heeft een slokkie op" (had only a little nip)

I want to be voiceover person. I can be good.

Hi there

I am a full trained voice over artist desperate to be given the chance to shine - the other post I am interested in is the Announcer postition too!

I can send a demo tape if you want one!

Looking forward to your response

Zoe

15th April,

Good Day,

I am interested in your application for an Announcer and am myself applying. I look forward to your forwarding details.

sincerely

Ben Green

I'm mot sure what drunk-synonyms means - but I was a bit bleary-eyed last night!

I have done quite a bit of film extra work so I suppose I could get an EQUITY card, but I'm really looking for some voice-over work.
I'm a mature male with standard British English pronunciation.
I have just completed a demo and I'm just waiting for the studio to run some copies off for me.

I am interested in being an announcer - my voice is something to be listened to.
