Music Rocks!

I had the opportunity to spend several hours in he car alone yesterday, and I used the time to crank up the radio to levels not reached since my teens (a long, long, long time ago).

Ahhh...music. What else has the power to move one? From classical to country to rock...moods may be elevated, depressed, and everything in between. There can be no doubt of the efficacy of music therapy...I self-prescribed yesterday.

I laughed and cried as the music and the words washed over me. I noticed the artists' voices had more impact upon me than did my own...hence the description "artist." I chose music for racing this summer as I felt myself running to the beat and saw my stride easy with quick turnover.

It was a great day.

Catharsis has a place and music is wonderful tool. On www.smooth-male-voiceover-talent.com I have an article I wrote regarding message-on-hold wherein I cautioned against choosing music for your message that might interfere with the message. The last thing you want is to have your customer on hold upset when the music is interrupted with a message...after all, it's the message you wish to be heard.

Be careful how you use music...it's powerful stuff.
