Voice Virtuosos Mugs

Natalie Merchant

"The 'Sing Only in the Shower' Community Chorus"

'We're out of earshot now, so you can drop the phoney, Oxbridge accent.'

'Either you do or you don't - there isn't any 'cooling-off' period!'

Gymnasts falling off the winners pedestal.

The Work-from-Home-Polka

War Heros Variety Night (playing a tune on his medals).

"Dad, is there a word that contains all the vowels?"

It's more than a mike!

'This is all without rhyme or reason.'

"Can you teach me to really bark? I only seem to be able to yap..."

'I'm a voice over artist.'

"I don't like the tone of your voice. Mind if I tweak it a bit?"

". . . and do you, John, give up your smug air of bemused detachment for the demands of marriage?"

"Now this is a Francis Ford Coppola. We still haven't been here quite long enough to be drinkable ourselves."

"...and are you, Jessica, committed to this bit?"

Alexander Pope

'I'm sorry, Sally, you can't buy a vowel.'

Recording Studio

"It took years of vocal training, but I now have a vocal range from squeaky right down to tenor..."

"Instead of careful interpretation of the prose, maybe try pronouncing even the most basic words like an insane person?"

Violin Mutes

'...Love, honor, cherish, and be careful what you wish for.'

'Wait a minute -- aren't you going to read me my rights?'

"I was kind of hoping for 'new voices' who'd also sung before."

Pianist takes his bow whilst the singer carries on singing.

'My best attribute? That would be my glottal stop.'

Focoso - to sing with fire and passion.

"But we ARE practising, Mum."

'They made him take a vow of silence so he'd have to stop complaining about his oath of poverty.'
