Take a microphone out of my hands, and I'm just plain folks.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I am in the sound booth, I am trying to convey as much as I can through just my voice.
I did things with the microphone stand that no-one else has attempted to do.
When people heckle me, I have the microphone. And the press has the microphone.
We all sit in front of our mics and our scripts lay on music stands. Then the silliness begins!
I use my voice as an instrument.
I'm an 'in the shower' or 'in the booth' kind of singer. I can sing, but I need either nobody to be able to hear me, or for me to be able to redo it.
I've figured out what to do with my hands... onstage. I'm a percussion player, so I grab a tambourine as much as I can.
I'm well in touch with my family, my children. I keep them on my answer phone, so if I want to hear one of their voices, all I have to do is punch it up and it will be there.
Well I have a microphone and you don't so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!
You're stuck in front of the microphone. You can't use your hands. I like to do things.
