Really old radio fans! You have to hear these!

(5 Sterne)

Fun stuff about the people who made the shows we love. Like the young woman whose specialty is the cries and coos of babies and kids of all ages. She also demonstrates a crying teenage girl being comforted by two toddlers and an infant wailing along. She plays all four parts to perfection. Funny bit where she worries she'll mix up the voices, demonstrates baby asking for food in adult voice.mom answers in baby voice ?let me finish my martini? type line. Funny, not dated humor either. This is just from the chapter on baby cries. Each chapter features bloopers and the sound effect of the week. Very interestingly done and a natural got otr fans.can't imagine why there aren't more reviews wish there were more eps!

Mike Who?
