Speak with your voice

Language is music. Find the right tone, feel the melodies of speech, timing, rhythm! As a speaker and musician, I love these parallels and relationships between making music and speaking. Stories are told in musical compositions and improvisations. And a novel can become a symphony of words. I really enjoy recording audio books, but also voice overs for documentaries, explanatory videos, image films, advertising and much more!

Language is painting for the ear.«

»A word is dead once it has been said, some say.

I say it is just beginning to live on this day.«

si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses

wenn de dei Gosch g’halde heddsch,

»People use their reason only to justify their injustices, and language only serves to hide their thoughts.«

Voltaire (1694-1778)
