“My son is in a band, and he’s a singer, and his vocals … they’re screaming-growling stuff … and he’s got a pretty reasonable voice. Yet he practices really hard to get the screaming-growling thing without losing that voice every five minutes. So I’m, like, “Hats off to you.”” HardStuffVoicePracticeFiveMinutesSonBandLosingSingersReasonableHatsMy SonFive MinutesVocalHats OffGrowling Author:Bruce Dickinson
“I failed to get into drama school, and my best friend told me I should do stand-up instead. I was always doing gags and voices, so he booked a gig for me without telling me.

“the very minute we think we 'have' God, God will surprise us. As we search in fire and earthquakes, God will be in the still small voice. As we listen in silent meditation, God will be shouting protests in the street. God is warning us that we had best not try to find our security in any well-defined concept or category of what is Godly - for the minute we believe we are into God, God is off again and calling us forth into some unknown place.” ThinkingTryingBelieveWellsStillsGodVoiceFireMeditationStreetsMinutesSecurityCallingConceptsSilentSurpriseGods WillDefinedProtestCategoriesWarningGodlyEarthquakesShoutingSmall VoiceSilent Meditation Author:Carter Heyward

“Alaska Governor Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey, though she said she was amazed to find out that, besides being a bird, Turkey is also a country. Did you see that all over the Internet today? While Sarah Palin was pardoning a turkey, right behind her was a guy slaughtering turkeys. But, see, like most Internet stories, a little half-true. Turns out that, after a couple of minutes listening to Sarah Palin's voice, the turkeys said 'Kill us now.'” LittlesSaidCountryStoriesTodayGuyTurnsVoiceBehindsHalfMinutesListeningCoupleInternetBirdGovernorsAmazedTurkeysAlaskaPalin Author:Jay Leno
“All the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind.” PeopleMenWorldWayFirstsHumansStillsWarRememberNationsVoiceHoursHuman BeingsSilenceMillionsMinutesMankindMonthsHundredSilentOne WayWar Of The WorldsSpokesOld ManRemember WhenBattlefieldsEighteenNineteenVoice Of GodFirst World WarBreakfast Of ChampionsArmisticeArmistice DayEleventh Hour Author:Kurt Vonnegut
“I think the power of the short film is incredibly underrated. It is way easier to get someone to watch a 15-minute film then a full-length feature. In those 15 minutes you have the opportunity to express your voice as an artist and hopefully connect with your audience. If you are trying to be a first time feature director then a short film that demonstrates you have a grasp on the themes and concepts of the movie you want to direct is a no-brainer. Whether they are collaborators or potential investors, filmmaking is a visual art form so you obviously need visuals to show them!” IfsThinkingWayWantNeedsTryingFirstsArtShowsFilmFormArtistOpportunityVoiceWatchesAudienceMinutesEasierDirectorsConceptsFirst TimeDirectHopefullyFeaturesThemeVisualsLengthInvestorsFilmmakingVisual ArtCollaboratorsUnderratedShort FilmsNo Brainer Author:Nicholas Ozeki

“How many of you heard the voice of God speak specifically, clearly, directly, and personally, to you? Can you just put a hand up? I'd like you to share it. Can you put a hand up for a minute? Just want you to look around; that's people saying, "God Almighty, the Maker of heaven, the one Who's sitting on the only throne that's not under threat - He spoke to me. He spoke to me." "God spoke to me." Don't let the voice of the darkness tell you that you are not worth that God would not speak to you. Don't let him tell you, you don't matter.

“What's impossible not to notice, though - it's all around us - is the diminution of American prose: How pedestrian it has become. Pick up any short story and listen to its voice, the tedious easy vernacular that mistakes transcription for realism.
