Brett needs to realize that his voice matters. Not just when he’s in character.

I ran out of breath just reading this one.

The 'Selbyan' (new one on me) run ons were perfect.

In my mind, I was hearing the dramatic (almost insane) voice in the finale of "Casey at the Bat".

I loved this. A peek into the racing mind. Breathless and exhausting, as heartbreak usually is.

One of the things I really enjoy about reading Edgar Allan Poe is the rhythm he brings to his works. The way he gets you all caught up in breathing a certain way you don't realize it until it's too late.

And Disco here ya go Jimmy. You have done just that. No easy feat.

I just about stood up with the audience, clapped, and shouted a bravo.

"Two buckets of dialogue in a Dixie cup head" was my favorite line. Loved this one!

That's what it feels like even in film sometimes. And then when you're shooting out of sequence it's easy to feel like you have a Dixie Cup head

That paragraph about the cast “bringing it” was pure gold. What a rush!

Acting is the best job in the world. Being a singer in a band is next on the list and that's like 12th.
