Well, any time I'm preparing for a performance or even a rehearsal, it's as if in a way, like any other athletes, these are muscles that support the vocal cords which are just I believe cartilage. It demands a kind of constant warming up and a constant feeling of where is the voice today.

The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the angels of our nature.

I would never recommend leaving them unattended. They do tend to dig into your carpet. Electrical cords -- if you're not watching, look out. Your expensive stereo could be toast.

We got to looking around and there were extension cords running all over the business. The main electrical panel was open, didn't have a cover on it in the back room. Water was running down the wall into that electrical box. It was illegal wiring and very unsafe.

We made it on a cheap PC that couldn't get enough power and kept crashing. We'd borrow microphones, cords and pieces, and we made our own kind of soundproofing. That's what I mean about trying to be great with what you've got. ... It gives you a sound that no one else has got because no one else is doing it in that room.

This causes a more complex range of sound frequencies than in a male voice. When men hear a male voice they process it in the 'mind's eye.'
