Re: Voice reveals...Willie Fern ("Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum")

Perhaps because I grew up half blind (until I was 14, needed glasses desperately), I most often recognize people by their voices. It comes in handy as the best actors are able to disguise themselves by wile alone, and many roles involve such alterations by makeup/appliances/masks/costumes that you can't see their faces clearly. Now, I can't say it's always a slam dunk; sometimes it eats at me a while til I can finally place them, but when I know a voice, no matter what my eyes tell me, I know a voice!

Re: Voice reveals...Willie Fern ("Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum")

Dear Tenman,

Thank you for sharing that perspective! I hadn't given that aspect of characters'/actors' voices that consideration before. Radio shows of the past have that effect on me as, of course, there is no visual material involved.

Thank you, again!

Sincerely,
Rush
