Voices

There are voices all around us. Voices that we hear with our ears and voices that we hear with our hearts. Then there are those voices that we hear in our heads but if you have one of thous I recommend you to see a
doctor, now. But I'm not going to talk about those voices.


 I was watching the UK television show The Voice when I started to wonder what that word really meant. Why the judges in that show turn around their chair if they like the voice, why it isn't like other talent shows where you just watch the whole performance. Is it just to be different, is it to make the show more exiting, or is it to hear the contestants true voice?


If you try to look that word up in a dictionary you will find this; voice - consists of sound made by human  using the vocal folds for talking, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. Well I think that's a bulls***! You don't have to be able to talk to have a voice! If you have something to say, something to share or an opinion you have a voice. 

The first thing I notice about people is their voices. First I notice their outer voice, the sound that comes out of your mouth, than I notice their inner voice, the story they have to share. Most often those two voices don't fit together, they are telling a different story, and those are the voices to avoid. But sometimes you find people who has those two voices in a perfect harmony and when you finds such a gems you have found a true artist. 

 Well that was a wonder I had to share with you! Feel free to comment, I like to hear your voice on this subject! But until next time.
