From the time when I was 14,and my voice changed from adolescent to baritone, I've been aware that my "pipes" were my greatest physical gift. I wasn't the biggest, strongest, toughest, or most athletic, but if you heard me speak without seeing me, you would think so. Over the years it has matured and I have learned how to use it in a variety of ways. I love to read(fiction is my favorite) and I can bring a story to life. I can read Dr. Seuss, Stephen King, Shakespeare, the Bible, a service manual or a weather report, and make them interesting. I can do a few accents(passably) and I love doing characters. Like I said, I believe I was given a gift, and want to use it.
