Subtleties in Voice
George Carlin touched on "finding your voice" in our recent interview with him:
See, you’re mixed up when you’re young. You really don’t know who you are yet. You don’t find your voice for a long time. I found [that to be true], for me anyway. When you find your voice, then you know who you are. For years, I described myself – because I’ve been doing this for 50 years, now – as a comedian who wrote his own material. Because I was proud of that. Not every comedian did, and it was a special mark of being different. Then, one day, I found out that I was a writer who performed his own material, and that changed my whole way of looking at myself and my work. I suddenly had grown up. I suddenly had matured into a writer who had two outlets: one is the books – and that’s only been the last ten years – and the other is the stage shows. The stage shows got better after I discovered that. There’s more texture in them. There’s more stuff there. There’s more to get your hands on.
Good, good stuff.
