America has never been moved to perfect our desire for greater democracy without radical thinking and radical voices being at the helm of any such quest.
In Spanish, I record a lot of single-voice tracks, and in English, I ‘stack’ a lot of voices, so it’s very different, and I think I got so used to recording in Spanish for six years that it was really refreshing and challenging to get in and record ‘Double Vision’ in English.
In reality, there are tons of unrepresented voices that we don’t see in comedy.
I just felt like there was a world of cartoon voices that had to be discovered by me.
When you listen to my music, you hear that there are all these voices going on in different parts of the song. That’s because I was always around so many voices in church.
As a professional cellist, I go to mostly classical concerts because that’s the music I play, but I am also always trying to find out who the voices of our time are. I attend a spectrum of concerts that are close to classical – anything from Wynton Marsalis to Renee Fleming.
I’m under no illusion. There are lots of male singers out there with raspy voices.
Every artist seems to me to have the job of bearing witness to the world we live in. To some extent I think of all of us as artists, because we have voices and we are each of us unique.
Susie Lynn, the producer of those segments, goes in and lays all the voices over the video.
Strangely enough, among my dad’s things, I found the diary of an ancestor who was born in 1797 and became a ventriloquist in London. That was quite chilling. It described exactly how I was as a child but 150 years earlier – doing voices, pretending to be a ventriloquist.
When I’m playing an American, I don’t play Lennie with an American accent. They’re American characters who look like me, but they have different voices.
Leadership is about doing what you know is right – even when a growing din of voices around you is trying to convince you to accept what you know to be wrong.
Welsh voices and Welsh communities were heard in 2016 in their tens of thousands, in their droves. They voted to leave the European Union and since then they have had that slapped in their face actually often by Labour MPs who basically said we know better than you.
All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!
That’s how I make work. Along the way, I take notes, I read about history and popular culture. Sometimes I act out things in the studio. I go back to my mother’s hair salon so I can hear three voices going all at once. I pull inspiration from everything.
If you’re trying to learn how to collect art, the key is getting access to insider opinions, and we pride ourselves on working with the most relevant artists and the collectors with the most authoritative voices.
‘Two Voices,’ from my album with Peter Schwalm, is an intact dream-poem. I awoke one night with an image of a piece of paper and all the words of the poem written on it, so I just blundered down to the kitchen table and ‘copied it out.’
When you’re on your own, you have all the self-censorship that everybody has when they try and write. All the little voices that say, ‘No, you can’t write that, what will they think of that?’
You don’t hear it on the radio. There’s something about the voices in Sleater-Kinney that’s a little too challenging to ever be on the inside.
No one is helped when cultural critics use their voices irresponsibly.
I believe we have a responsibility, even if our job is to lead a nonprofit organization, as private citizens to be good citizens and to make our voices heard.
What I’m asking for is hard. It’s easier to be cynical; to accept that change isn’t possible, and politics is hopeless, and to believe that our voices and actions don’t matter. But if we give up now, then we forsake a better future.
The fact that we’re young females and our voices are being heard loud and clear is really, really special to both of us.
New voices in an old art – and women poets have been that for much more than a century – do not diminish the art through the category. They enrich it. They renew it with common quandaries of craft and innovation. The category simply allows the quandaries to be seen more clearly.
The films that excite me most tend to be the films that seem like voices that we haven’t heard of before.
People have always heard voices. Sometimes they’re called shamans, sometimes they’re called mad, and sometimes they’re called fiction writers. I always feel lucky that I live in a culture where fiction writing is legal and not seen as pathology.
Diversity is essential to the success of the news industry, and journalists must include diverse voices in their coverage in order to reach a broader audience. We have stories to tell, but many in our audience have stopped listening because they can tell that we’re not talking about them.
People don’t really understand how important our voices are. I think there’s a lot of athletes that don’t use their power that really should.
In nations where the voices of intolerance are most visible and momentarily powerful, it is in our long run interests to remain firm in our clear articulation that the use of violence in response to speech is to be condemned.
I really want to be the black Tina Fey, where I just am able to produce my own content and produce other content for other minority filmmakers and put their voices on screen and basically be able to have free range to produce.
Our voices need to be raised in unison against the deterioration of our culture.
I think there will always be need of trusted voices in the investment community, but what the ICO markets are showing is that the world has incredible demand for future-looking projects!
I came late to Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention. I don’t know why, but that’s the beauty of music – songs and voices are there when you need them, when you’re ready to find them, whether in their time or after.
The only successful way to write, and the only one I have found, is to be the character. Give up on trying to control them. Writers always talk about hearing voices. That’s what they mean.
With ‘2 Dope Queens,’ we get the opportunity to love and enjoy each other and have fun being best friends and being women of color and talking about our personal experience. Also, we give an opportunity to elevate voices for many different people that otherwise would not get such a large platform.
There are very few voices that can speak with any kind of authority or credibility on what happened back during the time when WCW and WWF were going head to head, and I think the audience is interested in that period of time, clearly. And like I said, nobody could speak to it quite the way I could.
In real life, I’m so goofy and super weird. I’m never mean, but people don’t see the weird side of me. Like, I’ll be dancing around. My best friends will always say that they wish others saw that side of me, when I’m doing a weird dance or weird faces or voices.
Some of the best art in the world is collaborative, a mix of voices that are stronger together than separate. Take the Beatles, for example. Or every great movie ever made.

It’s our duty in Congress to bring the voices of our communities to Washington.
Modeling for adidas is a dream I never knew I could achieve. I’ve had it in my mind to work with such a dope ,and it’s so amazing that I get to be a part of a campaign with so many powerful voices.
A museum is a spiritual place. People lower their voices when they get close to art.
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.
I am interested in people living in the margins of society, and I do have a mission to tell the stories of women of colour in particular. I feel we’ve been present throughout history, but our voices have been neglected.
A lot of times in comedy, and also in podcasting and television, there are different kinds of voices that can be celebrated. So you can have ‘Insecure’ exist, you can have a ‘2 Dope Queens’ exist, you can have ‘The Mindy Project’ exist – very distinct, funny voices from women and from people of color.
I think that there is a changing wind. There are black conservatives out there, and their voices need to be heard.
Money often determines not only who gets elected, but what gets done. Which voices do lawmakers listen to, the banks or home owners, coal companies, or asthma sufferers, the CEOs or the unemployed?
In a 24/7 news cycle, with all the shrieking, howling voices and rapid-response and instant spinning and Soviet-style disinformation-mongering, a good idea has a shelf life of about, um, six seconds.
As an Ambassador for PSI and a supporter of Nothing But Nets, I have met individuals around the world who are lending their ideas, their voices, and their time to improve their communities and the world at large. And there are millions more that I have not met.
I feel like people have been so used to listening to choirs during Christmas, so they love voices when it comes to Christmas, and that is exactly what we are.
In ‘Finding Nemo,’ all of the voices were recorded separate – so I would be in a sound booth in a studio by myself reading the lines with just the director. Basically, you can just come in, and it doesn’t matter what you are wearing or what you look like; it is all about how your voice sounds.
