Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged, Hey.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Saro, And this is vocal d frag. Vocal d fragging
is asking yourself the questions and questioning the answers. I
do it in a journal, and I do it on
a digital device. The journal allows me to see the words,
to feel the imprint on that page, to listen to
it in the days and months after. Takes me right
into that emotion. The pitch, the volume, the tone, and yes,

(00:33):
I do suggest that you try to do both of
them because you're going to learn a lot about yourself.
This is vocal d frag. The subject on this walk
through this beautiful forest in South Charlotte is going to
be based on one thing. I believe the sound of
our voice doesn't match the sound in our heart. We

(00:54):
say things, we do things, We bring things to life
all the time. Because we are a content driven generation.
We want to participate, we want to be accepted, we
want to be heard, we want to walk away from things,
and we want to make sure that people know why
we walked away from things. But I believe that our
voices are not speaking what we feel on the inside.

(01:16):
And if it is, is it the message that someone
wants to receive, or is it a reason for them
to walk away? Learning to listen to how you say things,
And I'm not just saying the voice that's coming from
your vocal cords, your fingers create a voice as well,
on social media, your videos, your photographs. There are so

(01:40):
many different ways to put your voice out there, and
we're choosing to be identified as such. And then we
wonder why when we are walking alone, like me on
this transition walk, you wonder why you're not fulfilled. There's
something always missing. So I know, I'll go use my

(02:01):
voice somewhere. I will go make a statement somewhere, I
will go do something, but I won't give it my
entire self. But yet, if I use my voice, then
people are gonna think that this is what I'm really doing,
when in fact, your heart never lies to you, not
in the way that you think. I mean, there's a
lot of doubt, fear, shame, guilt, greed inside that heart

(02:23):
of yours, and I know that it's painted in there.
It shows up in portraits. It does everything because we
set ourselves up for that, because so many times I
believe that we live up the negative energy and we
create negative energy so that we can have something positive
in our life, because it's a lot better than that
negative energy. Who that's a lot to digest your voice?

(02:45):
What is this saying? What are you sharing? What are
you giving off? Sure you can sing beautifully in tune,
do you believe in what you're singing? Do you trust
that the messages that you're putting out there are what
need to help guide others? What happens if today isn't
about others and it's more about you getting to know you.

(03:10):
That's why I call it vocal defritening. It's so much
more than just asking yourself the questions. I mean, that's
just the start, is what it is. It's learning how
to listen, how you are talking to yourself and how
you are building yourself up or tearing yourself down. Give
yourself that opportunity to have a voice. I believe that

(03:32):
there are a lot of missing voices in this world today,
and that's why so many of us are bitching and
moaning and complaining about the political world, about decision makers
and businesses and about anything else that could go wrong.
There's that negative, that negative. Oh, now that we've identified
the negative, let's go find the positive. Yeah, because I'm

(03:53):
going to use my voice to do it. But you're
not fulfilled. This is where asking yourself the questions and
questioning the answers comes in having that relationship with me,
myself and I. It's not conceited, it's not overconfident. It's
learning to figure out what is your voice? Who are

(04:14):
you trying to be? Have you gotten there yet? How
many years have you tried? Who I am at the
age of sixty two is not the same punk ass
kid when I was twenty two, or even when I
was fourteen saying I'm going to be in radio one day.
Did I know why? No? What about when it was

(04:34):
in the mid nineteen nineties and I was the afternoon
jock on a radio station. Was I that guy? Did
I know why I was there? No? It was all
about me. I wanted the ratings, I wanted the bonuses.
I get it. But when you find your voice and

(04:55):
you trust in your voice, you believe in your voice,
and you share your voice, don't push it. Let it
happen naturally. Learn to identify who, what, where, why, when
and how. Ask the questions, question the answers him Marril,
that's vocal. D fraggen
