“The weakness in a model in which one assumes that the electorate gets what it needs from Bill Clinton is that our system doesn't institutionalize the oppositional voice, and one needs to be able to hear the exchange of the debate in order to create an informed electorate.” NeedsAbleOrderVoiceModelsWeaknessBillsAssumingClintonDebateElectorate Author:Kathleen Hall Jamieson
“I don't mind that if I ever star in movies, they'll likely be mine. That's okay, because my great role models - Woody Allen, even Tyler Perry, who is actually one of my role models, even if that seems kind of strange - they do that themselves. And it's great. They build empires, and they're known as having their own voice. I think it's 20 times more fun to act on a set where I feel the freedom to change the dialogue.” IfsThinkingFeelsMindKindSeemsFunStarsVoiceKnownRolesMinesStrangeModelsOkayDialogueEmpiresRole ModelsWoodyGreat Role Models Author:Mindy Kaling
“Human beings look so different from each other, voices are so different, everything about us is so individual, and that's so exciting and juicy and appealing, and we're attached to these things and they're so fascinating and beautiful - I don't just mean model-beautiful, but all the individual forms that people can take.” PeopleHumansLooksMeanDifferentBeautifulFormIndividualVoiceHuman BeingsModelsExcitingFascinatingJuicy Author:Mary Gaitskill
“When I started out playing guitar and singing, I was about twelve, going on thirteen. The role models for me back then were the folk singers. They all had these high, really nice voices and ranges, like Judy Collins and Joan Baez, and then later, of course, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt. I decided early on that I was going to learn how to write songs really, really well, because I didn't want to have to compete as a singer. I didn't feel that it was my strong point.” WantFeelsWritingWellsSongCoursesStrongVoiceRolesNiceModelsSingingDecidedGuitarFolksSingersRangeRole ModelsTwelveReally NiceThirteenPlaying Guitar Author:Lucinda Williams
“Adlai Stevenson, himself a notable speaker, often reminisced about his last meeting with Churchill. I asked him on whom or what he had based his oratorical style. Churchill replied, "It was an American statesman who inspired me and taught me how to use every note of the human voice like an organ." Winston then to my amazement started to quote long excerpts from Bourke Cockran's speeches of 60 years before. "He was my model," Churchill said. "I learned from him how to hold thousands in thrall."” YearsHumansLongSaidUseLastsVoiceStyleTaughtSpeechModelsMeetingsNotesInspiredOrgansSpeakersNotableStatesmenAmazementHuman Voice Author:William Bourke Cockran

“I did not have any role model. I could not learn anything from the female voice that male poets used, a voice which is more "feminine" than female.

“Take one more step and I'll put an arrow through you." Will tried to model his voice on the quiet, threatening tone Halt had used. He had retrieved several of his arrows from the nearest target and now he had one of them ready, laid on the bowstring. Halt glanced around approvingly. "Good idea," he said. "Aim for the left calf.
