    Norman's voice is like nothing on this earth. It can be sweet and soft, like in this video. It can be gritty and harsh like Daryl. His voice carries so much emotion and feeling in everything he does. He is truly an amazing actor and person who deserves more acknowledgment and attention from the whole world.

  • @bookwormandnerd
    @bookwormandnerd 12 років тому +1

    He has a very unusual voice that is very pleasant to listen to. It's very mellow and soft, but he can bend it to be powerful without being overly loud, he puts meaning and depth behind every word, he puts emotion into his deliverance and it makes one take notice to what he is saying and want to feel the same way he is feeling about what he is saying.
    Very nicely done, Mr. Reedus, brilliantly done, I might say! *applauds*

    What a beautiful rendition of this speech. I am currently putting together a training for tutors on the components of reading. One of the "Big 5" is fluency. Actors are the perfect source of reading fluency. This actor shows how insanely beautiful the spoken word can become when read fluently.

  • @seanspliedt7370

    I aint gay or anything but his voice is just perfect to be complete honest like I am starting to become an actor myself and I really want to act with Norman. Hes such a great actor if it weren't for The Walking Dead I would have never known who he was. It would actually just be an honor to just be a co-actor with Norman. His movie Hello Herman was probably the most inspirational movies hes ever done. Hes such a great person in real life. He gives back to his fans that's makes him such an amazing person. Again I aint gay hes just an awesome actor who should have a lot more credit then hes getting.

      Norman Reedus is awesome. Check out A Crime, Six Ways to Sunday, or Deuces Wild. He has that certain something about his acting that engages you. Another great actor is William Fichtner. That dude is phenomenal. To the T grade A. Good luck with your goal in acting. Reply back if you'd like to know of his credits in the industry. \m/

    I likes this interpretation. The notion that PH yelled the whole way through is far from indisputable fact. Mr McManus showed quiet strength. Quiet, unwavering strength strikes fear in tyrants more than exclamation ever could dream of.

      Different deliveries in different environments and situations:
      This reading is up-close and personal: one-on-one.
      Patrick Henry was addressing a large group in a large room.
      This, now, is a historical reading of events ~240 years ago;
      the mood was certainly much different on the day PH spoke.
