V for Vendetta

I have actually never seen that movie, it just seemed like a natural title for today. V is for voices. I am not a big fan of my own voice. When I hear it in my head, I don't think anything of it most of the time, but when I hear it on video, or occasionally when I say something I will hear a glimpse of that voice. I don't know exactly what it is; sometimes it's childish-sounding, sometimes it's too deep, sometimes it's too high pitched, or too nasaly. If I had a nice voice, maybe I would be more outgoing. Maybe I would have become a singer. Maybe I am just paranoid and I should embrace my lack of a nice voice. Everyone has imperfections, so I am not alone.

But I think it's amazing that we have the ability to make sounds have meanings, and to remember those meanings, and string them together into moving messages about life. Or, you know, just to yell to your brother to get you a snack while he's up. And it's cool how different cultures use different noises, different parts of their throat or tounge to communicate. And how we can translate pictures into sounds.

I like Josh Turner's voice. It's so deeply satisfying. Whose voice do you like?
