the world is our teacher..
when i was at work yesterday..this man i worked with named micah asked me to do the voiceover for some hospital commercial so i was excited and said yess.
he handed me this script and had me practice it for a bit to get a feel for what it was saying...
apparently on average, Wilson hospital alone has 15,000 patients in the operating room each year, that's 50 per day.
micah turned on some sound editing program on the computer and set up the mic for me.
i spoke into the mic and read the script. the first 3 segments i did really good on but the last segment didnt make sense..
so i read it a couple times and then micah stopped me. He playedback my voice recording on the computer and showed me exactly where i was getting stuck..
he could tell right where i didnt know what i was saying just by the cadence of my voice. the rhythm between the words was slightly off.
it was really weird. like being able to hear one wrong note played in a symphony or something.
so then he went on by telling me about how he could zoom in on the soundwave to like 1/100 of a second or something
and showed it to me like this...
imagine the sound wave monitor and how the lines go in waves seemingly random..
one word looked like a blobby big fluffy woolybear caterpillar
then he zoomed in and it was more wavy and less dense
like cute waves on the ocean
and he kept zooming in til there were huge spaces between the wave lines
it went from fluffy caterpillar to
flowy-ish waves,
still looking arrhythmic,
and then finally he zoomed in so far, it looked like heartbeat waves. exactly.
it was amazing
so rhythmic and heartbeat-y
then with it zoomed in that close, he pressed play and i could see the lines 'beat' as my voice was talking.
it was just reallyreally weird.
and then he played the whole script with many words and i noticed between the words..it was a straight line
like no pulse.
life and death between words.
it was the most interesting experience to see my voice make that "heartbeat".
led me to realize and understand how everything really does have a life. a pulse.
the sound of the wind blowing in the trees, the birds, crickets, grass.
some louder than others.
you might say.. what about a rock..that doesnt have a "heartbeat", but it does.
just because we can't hear, see, or feel it, doesnt mean its not there. im sure theres technology even more sensitive than to just hear audible waves by the human ear
dogs hear sounds from a higher frequency than we do.
rocks emit a vibrancy that may be a fraction of a fraction on the apparent "silent" part of the soundwave between words..
so thats my lil learning of the day
:)
--------------
All these sounds, movements around us carry vibrations..
We are vibrational beings. interconnected by the "heartbeat" of life.
We live in this world of imagination. Emitting energy wherever we go..
and also taking it in. The universe likes motion. Its what keeps the flow..
Its the balance of things. The high and low.
Channels. There's channels of light and sound.
So we may hear, feel,touch,see,taste, and
just Know. just Be.
Our intuition.
"knows" things the mind cannot grasp
Thats why we can hear, and want to respond..
but become speechless
We're at a loss of words to say.
Our hearts speak louder than words..
with love.
