Joseph Joubert Quotes

I think the greatest sound in the world is the human voice.

The human voice is the organ of the soul.

What I look for in a voice is for it to be unique. I don't really care if a singer sings well. Really, it's about emotion, or being able to sing the lyrics and actually mean it. A lot of singers sing good notes but forget about what words they use.

A voice and an accent are two very different things. The voice of a man is how he speaks from his heart, right in the middle of him... And then you stick an accent on top of that.

The oldest, truest, most beautiful organ of music, the origin to which alone our music owes its being, is the human voice.

Daisy began to sing with the music in a husky, rhythmic whisper, bringing out a meaning in each word that it had never had before and would never have again. When the melody rose, her voice broke up sweetly, following it, in a way contralto voices have, and each change tipped out a little of her warm human magic upon the air.

It is simple nonsense to speak of the fixed tempo of any particular vocal phrase. Each voice has its peculiarities.

The way I teach people to sing... I have them talk the lyric out until it sounds like something they really believe, like an actor with a monologue.

Singing intimately is almost like thinking into a microphone, so it helps to have the song buried inside you.

I've always wanted to sing. I don't think I have a great voice, but I just think that I get the emotion. It's very authentic. Whatever emotion I'm feeling, I can sing it, and you can feel it.

I've always believed you should sing songs you can really put yourself into. I think the emotion you put into it is just as important as singing the notes.

My voice is distinctive: there's a rhythm to it, and also, it's funny. I was just blessed with a funny-sounding voice.

Auto-tune is good to keep your notes intact, but it doesn't do much for the feel of your voice.

For me, everything about the telling is guided by tone. It's a bit mysterious; it's either there, or it isn't.

How you use your voice is really important, and it's really driven by context more than anything else, and your tone of voice will immediately begin to impact somebody's mood and immediately how their brain functions.

The human voice is one of the most attractive things.

People don't have to understand a language to understand the emotion and sentiment behind a song.

Writing from a personal experience can bring about this emotion and power of emotion that can be instantly connected to the instrument, my voice.

My voice is not angel voice.

My accent really comes out when I'm speaking in public or when I'm passionate about something.

My vocal cords lived their own life, wild and free.
