There with you. I can't formulate words and speak them while listening to music, but I can write them. Interesting that it blocks words to speech, but not words to fingers. > In particular, people never musicalize conversational speech. > (You can try, but I guarantee you will ruin the vibe of the conversation.) On this statement of his, however, I'd disagree. If you have ever watched the show Letterkenny, the banter is clearly musical. I have friends that went to school with the creators, and that style of south/central Ontario banter is very much a thing, we can do it on cue. Theatre people can have a certain way as well, where stories told by stage actors are often sonorous and rhythmic. Some British trained actors begin to speak from their lower registers (think Ian McKellen or Patrick Stewart) Then again, maybe part of being a great presence as an actor is stupefying an audience with a musical voice. I've met hypnotist/NLP practitioners who work on rhythm and tone in their speech, and this could be construed as a technique for disarming and neutralizing critical faculties. Personally, the idea that there is an out of band way to mesmerize people by turning off their critical and conversational faculties using rhythmic musical intonation is too much existential horror for me to accept. I'll stick to writing, thank you.
