I have fun doing voices, and around Halloween that means a
witch, a vampire, and the spooky ghost sound that’s so spooky I don’t like to do it if I’m alone in the house. Especially
at night.
To keep these voices special, I don’t do them all year
round—just in October, when my grandsons, filled with gleeful terror, hide
(often in plain sight under the piano) as these characters—complete with
stomping feet—come looking for them. In other months the boys might encounter
Big Ugly Nasty Man, All-Purpose Brooklynite, and Melania. (The names are for my
reference only.)
So the other day one grandson (7) said he was looking
forward to Halloween, his favorite holiday. Figuring he was deciding what
costume to wear, I said, “What are you thinking about?” He replied, “I’m
thinking about your vampire person.”
Oh, please please please can you post a recording of these voices?
ReplyDeleteYes. Pleeeeeaaase.
DeleteOh, WONderful.
ReplyDeleteYes! Pleeeeeaaaase!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to record snippets for you . . . if I knew how to do it. I looked it up much earlier in this blog (I forget why) and didn't get very far.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, even though I don't much like Halloween.
ReplyDeleteI don't like Halloween much either. You'd think I would, because I loved it as a kid, and I had fun coming up with costumes for my own children when they were young. But the thrill is gone. However, I try to rise to the occasion for my grandchildren. This year I bought a little device that projects an image of a giant spiderweb (complete with spider, of course) on the outside of my house.
