Tape reading is a lost art that today is not very useful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's such a relief for me to sit in front of a tape recorder and not be using it to learn my lines.
When digital technology started becoming the norm, you've got 50, 60, 70 years of recordings on tapes that are just deteriorating. Like, a two-inch reel of recording tape won't last forever. It dissolves. It will disappear.
I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.
I love to listen to books on tape.
You haven't been on tape, nobody sees what you can do, nobody sees how you play, so they don't have anything to watch.
The art of reading between the lines is as old as manipulated information.
These tapes have been found, which were taken from the desk and various bootlegs. At the time we never got to hear them, they didn't seem to be available or they just got put to one side.
I've got tapes that I'm so thankful that my father made - old reel-to-reel tapes. I've got a ton of those things at home. He kept those like fine diamonds, I mean he kept them, you know, in a box and was very, very careful of them, you know.
In between that time, I've done book narrating, you know, books on tape for Dove Audio.
We never heard of tape. Everything was live, live, live.
