100 Facts in 100 Days: Fact 30
Posted on July 28, 2006 @ 7:24 am
30. I’m a loud talker. My voice is rather deep, and despite my best efforts to maintain an “inside voice,” it carries. For example, I routinely lecture in 300-seat auditoriums without the aid of a microphone, and my colleagues often comment that they can hear me teaching my classes while sitting in their offices two floors up. Sometimes I feel like Will Ferrell’s “Jacob Silg” character from SNL — you know, the guy who can’t control the volume of his voice. It’s a tough life.

Yeah, you and James Earl Jones
You could be in worse company.
Haha…and that didn’t just come with puberty. Even when we were kids and you would sleep over, my mother would come and tell us to be more quiet…she pulled me aside several times to tell me that your voice just carried too much, even when you were whispering. I’m pretty sure my mom still hates you for that…and probably many other reasons, but then again, she hated all of my friends.
