1:25
Speaker 3: As Heather said, banks are closed, doc market closed. So
1:30
Speaker 3: what is Juneteenth all about? And I'm going to come
1:33
Speaker 3: up with a fact, a little factoy that you're going
1:35
Speaker 3: to go.
1:36
Speaker 2: Really, I didn't know that.
1:39
Speaker 3: So June juneteenth, June nineteenth is called officially the juneteenth
1:46
Speaker 3: National Independence Day. It is a federal holiday commemorating the
1:51
Speaker 3: end of slavery in the United States, and it refers
1:56
Speaker 3: to well first used in the eighteen nineties, first to
2:00
Speaker 3: June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five, the day when Major General
2:05
Speaker 3: Granger US General Granger ordered the final enforcement of the
2:12
Speaker 3: Emancipation Proclamation in Texas, three years after the Emancipation Proclamation
2:19
Speaker 3: was signed three years and that was the last part
2:24
Speaker 3: of the South that was free because news didn't travel
2:28
Speaker 3: quite as fast as it travels here, and a lot
2:31
Speaker 3: of former slaves didn't know they were free for years
2:36
Speaker 3: after the Civil War, and so June nineteenth was the
2:40
Speaker 3: last of them. Because slavery officially came to an end
2:43
Speaker 3: in various areas in the United States at different times.
2:47
Speaker 3: So it was January of eighteen sixty five. The Thirteenth
2:52
Speaker 3: Amendment to the United States was proposed abolishing slavery, and it
2:58
Speaker 3: was finally the enslaved population was freed by the victorious
3:04
Speaker 3: Union Army or even.
3:05
Speaker 2: By state abolition laws.
3:07
Speaker 3: And the celebration has actually began back in eighteen sixty
3:11
Speaker 3: six church centered community gatherings. Why because you know, blacks
3:16
Speaker 3: were not treated well. Whether they were free, whether they
3:18
Speaker 3: were slaves, it was about the same.
3:20
Speaker 2: They just couldn't be owned.
3:21
Speaker 3: It was very difficult to be a black person in
3:24
Speaker 3: the United States at those times. A lot of people
3:26
Speaker 3: are you it's not so easy to be a black
3:28
Speaker 3: person now, which I think is true in many aspects.
3:32
Speaker 3: But man, after the Civil War, during the Jim Crow Laws,
3:36
Speaker 3: it was absolutely crazy. Recognized the federal holiday in twenty
3:41
Speaker 3: twenty one, signed in the law by President Joe Biden,
3:45
Speaker 3: and this is the first federal holiday since Martin Luther
3:49
Speaker 3: King Day was adopted in nineteen eighty three. Okay, so
3:54
Speaker 3: a little bit of history of June nineteenth, the last
3:59
Speaker 3: of the former slaves thought they were slaves. Now, a
4:04
Speaker 3: fun factoid I want to share it with you. There
4:08
Speaker 3: were a lot of Confederates, former Confederates that were not
4:13
Speaker 3: very happy with the fact that the Confederacy lost. They
4:17
Speaker 3: were part and parcel part of the Confederate States of America.
4:21
Speaker 3: And not only were they secessionists, they believe in their
4:25
Speaker 3: hearts of hearts that the South should have been a
4:30
Speaker 3: separate country the Confederate States. So a group of former
4:35
Speaker 3: Confederates families went to Brazil. They immigrated and went to
4:42
Speaker 3: Brazil and were given land, as a matter of fact,
4:46
Speaker 3: right outside of Sampaulo, where I was born, and were
4:48
Speaker 3: given land by the Emperor Don Paedo the Second of Brazil.
4:55
Speaker 3: He was a pro slavery, pro Confederate guy of the
5:00
Speaker 3: first Water.
5:01
Speaker 2: So they had more slavery in Brazil than we.
5:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, until eighteen eighty eight, slavery still occurred in Brazil.
5:12
Speaker 3: So you have this group of Confederates who went down there.
5:16
Speaker 3: Now they're fully Brazilian, I mean no one is. There
5:19
Speaker 3: are no Americans there, but they still have the same names.
5:25
Speaker 3: So you have these Brazilians that go with last names
5:29
Speaker 3: like Norris and Whittaker and Jones and Miller. So you
5:36
Speaker 3: have a Brazilian name Jean Miller or Pedro Smith and
5:44
Speaker 3: their names are that's their legal names. They ever changed them,
5:48
Speaker 3: which is absolutely hilarious. Also, they celebrate the Confederacy. This
5:54
Speaker 3: group of Brazilians with those last names, they celebrate the Confederacy.
5:59
Speaker 3: Every year there is a ball in which it's basically
6:05
Speaker 3: a hoe down. It's a Southern hoedown where you have
6:09
Speaker 3: music that was part of the South square dancing. You've
6:15
Speaker 3: seen those American balls during the war, the way the
6:19
Speaker 3: women wore, the kind of clothing, you know, the big
6:22
Speaker 3: hoop skirts and the flowing dresses. They dress in those
6:28
Speaker 3: and they do square dancing and they have fiddlers and
6:33
Speaker 3: you go down there and what you're seeing is a
6:36
Speaker 3: Southern ball, pre Civil War Southern ball with Brazilians named
6:44
Speaker 3: Norris and Smith. I mean, it is completely crazy. You
6:49
Speaker 3: think it's a time machine. And if you want to
6:51
Speaker 3: see what one looks like, you can go to YouTube
6:54
Speaker 3: and just look up Americana. That's what they call the
6:58
Speaker 3: town Americana, Brazil and put in the ball yearly ball.
7:04
Speaker 3: It's fascinating stuff, absolutely fascinating stuff. Okay, a couple of
7:09
Speaker 3: other stories I want to share with you.
7:12
Speaker 2: You know what, let's do Supreme Court cases.
7:16
Speaker 3: The Court is handing down some big, big decisions. Mid
7:21
Speaker 3: June late June is where we hear the major decisions
7:24
Speaker 3: being handed down just before the recess until October, and
7:29
Speaker 3: I'm going to go through a few of them, and
7:31
Speaker 3: some of them are critically important, and some well they
7:36
Speaker 3: seem to be critically important, but I don't think they are.
7:38
Speaker 3: I'll share that with you, and then at the bottom
7:41
Speaker 3: of the hour, you are going to hear an interview.
7:47
Speaker 3: Matter of fact, I'm going to interview a friend of
7:50
Speaker 3: mine named Roger Love and what he has done with voices.
7:54
Speaker 3: It's an extraordinary story. And I have a personal story
7:57
Speaker 3: with Roger. And we'll be back with all of that, Okay,
8:00
Speaker 3: can fine am a six forty handle on a Friday, juneteenth?
8:04
Speaker 3: June nineteenth, official holiday celebrating the last day of I
8:12
Speaker 3: guess slavery even the way after the emancipation Proclamation, And
8:18
Speaker 3: that is matter of fact.
8:20
Speaker 4: Always want celebration to those that commemorate it. Just you
8:27
Speaker 4: didn't touch on this, but a lot of there were
8:29
Speaker 4: many enslavers that deliberately suppressed the news of freedom so
8:34
Speaker 4: they could have their free labor force for cotton picking.
8:38
Speaker 4: And absolutely there's a lot of deep also stuff, it's
8:42
Speaker 4: not just whoo also.
8:44
Speaker 3: Acquicked o correct And also a quick factoid about the
8:47
Speaker 3: emancipation Emancipation Proclamation.
8:51
Speaker 5: You know that.
8:51
Speaker 3: Of course, everybody knows that only Southern slaves were freed
8:56
Speaker 3: with the Emancipation Proclamation. How about slave holding state in
9:01
Speaker 3: the North, not touched by the emancipation Proclamation.
9:07
Speaker 2: But if.
9:09
Speaker 3: Lincoln freed the slaves, why would he only free slaves
9:13
Speaker 3: in the South. First of all, let's start with a
9:16
Speaker 3: basic premise. Lincoln did not believe.
9:21
Speaker 2: That he had the.
9:23
Speaker 3: Authority to free slaves as a matter of policy. He
9:28
Speaker 3: didn't think the president of the United States could free slaves.
9:33
Speaker 3: And the emunciprase Emancipation Proclamation wasn't the policy slavery is
9:38
Speaker 3: horrible that he has given credit for. It was a
9:42
Speaker 3: military decision. That's why he signed and issued the proclamation.
9:47
Speaker 3: And he did it and said the slaves in the
9:50
Speaker 3: South are hereby free because the slaves in the South
9:54
Speaker 3: were part of upholding the Southern economy. The Southern economy
9:59
Speaker 3: could not function without slaves. And what he did is
10:04
Speaker 3: he said, on a military basis, I have the ability
10:09
Speaker 3: to take away to diminish any military activity or force
10:14
Speaker 3: that an enemy of the United States has. That was
10:17
Speaker 3: the basis of the Emancipation Proclamation. Really interesting stuff, and
10:24
Speaker 3: so it was not I mean, he was against slavery,
10:27
Speaker 3: no question, but he didn't think the president had the
10:29
Speaker 3: ability to legally emancipate the slaves based on slavery itself
10:34
Speaker 3: only is a military move.
10:37
Speaker 2: Okay, so much for that.
10:39
Speaker 3: The other thing's going on upcoming Supreme Court cases, and
10:42
Speaker 3: we're going to talk about these as they come down
10:44
Speaker 3: the pike, and I'll give you a history, I think
10:48
Speaker 3: on Monday of the Supreme Court cases that were absolutely
10:54
Speaker 3: critical in the history of the United States. And there
10:57
Speaker 3: are a few that completely change change the way America
11:01
Speaker 3: does America, and there are most sessions of the Supreme Court
11:07
Speaker 3: don't do that, and this session did not do a
11:11
Speaker 3: lot of that. The issue of transgender athletes, the Court
11:16
Speaker 3: is weighing, do the state bans on transgender girls and
11:21
Speaker 3: women competing on female teams violate Title nine of the
11:26
Speaker 3: Equal Protection Clause.
11:27
Speaker 2: We don't know.
11:28
Speaker 3: Administrative power Trump versus Slaughter, the scope of presidential authority
11:34
Speaker 3: over independent federal agencies, and the firing power of the
11:38
Speaker 3: White House when by law agencies are set up, and
11:42
Speaker 3: the argument is as the president have the right to
11:45
Speaker 3: fire those people. I think the big one is birthright
11:48
Speaker 3: citizenship challenges the boundaries of birthright citizenship because the president
11:53
Speaker 3: for the first time is arguing that any child born
11:57
Speaker 3: of people that are undocumented in this country is not
12:00
Speaker 3: a citizen, notwithstanding the fourteen amendments. So I don't know
12:03
Speaker 3: how he's going to get around that.
12:04
Speaker 2: One.
12:05
Speaker 3: Immigration talking about asylum processes and the ability of non
12:10
Speaker 3: citizens to challenge those border restrictions.
12:14
Speaker 2: Election law, that's pretty important.
12:19
Speaker 3: Watson versus Republican National Committee, and it talks about regulations
12:24
Speaker 3: on mail in ballots, which of course was a very
12:27
Speaker 3: big deal in this election, and political spending. How much
12:32
Speaker 3: can candidates get unlimited amounts of money for their campaigns directly,
12:38
Speaker 3: I don't think that's a big deal because money can
12:40
Speaker 3: go into packs. The United Citizens case said that you
12:46
Speaker 3: can form all the packs you want, political action committees,
12:51
Speaker 3: and you can put in unlimited amount of money, which
12:54
Speaker 3: is why on these commercials you see this ad was
12:59
Speaker 3: not paid for by any campaign of any candidate. They
13:02
Speaker 3: have to say that. And then you've got civil and
13:05
Speaker 3: international rights. Cisco System versus DOE, do Tech executives are
13:11
Speaker 3: they can be they held liable under the Alien Torte
13:15
Speaker 3: Statute for developing, developing surveill the system, surveillance system used
13:20
Speaker 3: by foreign governments. And we'll talk about all of that
13:24
Speaker 3: on Monday or when these decisions come down, any critical,
13:28
Speaker 3: all important, insane decisions. No, no, I mean there was
13:32
Speaker 3: dred Scott, there was Brown versus Board of Education. There
13:36
Speaker 3: were cases that changed America, the Miranda case. This I
13:41
Speaker 3: don't think is that big a deal. I think more
13:43
Speaker 3: politics than anything else. I think the Court has become
13:46
Speaker 3: political as opposed to a constitutional overseer of the laws
13:50
Speaker 3: of the United States. Okay, coming up, Roger Love. Roger
13:56
Speaker 3: is a guy who does voices. He is a voice coach. Okay,
14:02
Speaker 3: big deal. He is a voice coach who is known
14:06
Speaker 3: all over the world. And I'm going to explain what
14:11
Speaker 3: he does. And in my personal involvement with Roger, I've
14:13
Speaker 3: known him for decades and I'll have him on and
14:17
Speaker 3: it's worth listening to. As matter of fact, everything I
14:20
Speaker 3: do is worth listening to. As a matter of fact,
14:23
Speaker 3: everything I say is worth streaming, is worth podcasting. You
14:28
Speaker 3: don't want to miss a minute of it. You really don't,
14:30
Speaker 3: because well, I'm that good. And that's what I say
14:35
Speaker 3: to the mirror every single morning. I like you all right,
14:41
Speaker 3: Roger coming up.
14:42
Speaker 2: You are smart. You is important, Yes, I is. You're
14:47
Speaker 2: absolutely right. This is KFI. You're listening to Bill Handle
14:53
Speaker 2: on demand from KFI AM six forty six forty bill
15:01
Speaker 2: Handle Here.
15:02
Speaker 3: It is Juneteenth Friday, celebrating the last group of enslaved
15:09
Speaker 3: people in the South after the Civil War, after the
15:11
Speaker 3: Emancipation Proclamation, that were told they were free. Now, I
15:16
Speaker 3: want to introduce you to a voice coach. Just you
15:21
Speaker 3: know big deal voice coaches. Well, Roger Love is not
15:25
Speaker 3: just the voice coach. Roger was behind Bradley Cooper in
15:30
Speaker 3: singing in the Star Is Born, basically taught him how
15:33
Speaker 3: to sing. He's worked with Joaquin Phoenix, Witherspoon and Walk
15:39
Speaker 3: the Line. He's worked with Tom Brady for his broadcast,
15:43
Speaker 3: Brad Pitt, Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, John Mayer or Meyer.
15:48
Speaker 3: I mean the guy is he has worked with some
15:52
Speaker 3: of the biggest names in Hollywood and executives. I mean,
15:57
Speaker 3: this guy is incredible. And a quick word before you're
16:01
Speaker 3: jumping on, because I went introduce you in a minute.
16:03
Speaker 3: I had a real voice problem a few years ago.
16:06
Speaker 3: I couldn't speak. I went to the n t doctor,
16:08
Speaker 3: and he said it's time for surgery. I consulted Roger.
16:13
Speaker 3: He goes, you're crazy. In three sessions, my voice came back.
16:18
Speaker 3: That's Roger. And Roger is now working in an extraordinary
16:24
Speaker 3: program to stop stuttering, which heretofore was impossible to deal with.
16:30
Speaker 3: I mean, medicine couldn't deal with it. And here comes Roger. Roger,
16:34
Speaker 3: good morning, thanks for joining us.
16:37
Speaker 5: Good morning, bill Ah.
16:39
Speaker 3: We go back so far, and I am speaking because
16:41
Speaker 3: of you when a lot of people are very upset.
16:44
Speaker 3: So Roger, you've developed over the years, your own, your own,
16:50
Speaker 3: your own program to deal with voices that are out.
16:53
Speaker 3: But you've done something socially rather incredible, and that is
16:57
Speaker 3: develop a program to help stuttering, which which is impossible
17:01
Speaker 3: or was impossible to deal with. Let's spend a minute
17:04
Speaker 3: talking about that, because this is important.
17:07
Speaker 5: When I was a little kid, I was staying up
17:09
Speaker 5: too late and watching a late night show and there
17:12
Speaker 5: was a comedian who came on. His name was Mel Tillis,
17:16
Speaker 5: and he told jokes and he stuttered his way through
17:20
Speaker 5: telling jokes. I'd never heard anybody sound like that, but
17:23
Speaker 5: the audiences were laughing with him, not at him. He
17:29
Speaker 5: was so funny, and he was using stuttering as part
17:33
Speaker 5: of his personality, part of his superpower. And then the
17:37
Speaker 5: crazy thing was, after he stuttered his way through the
17:41
Speaker 5: comedy routine, he sang, and he sang so beautifully, so effortlessly,
17:47
Speaker 5: the words just rode out. And even as a little kid,
17:50
Speaker 5: I stored that in my mind as incredible and mysterious.
17:55
Speaker 5: And then later on, when I was really a voice
17:59
Speaker 5: coach and people were coming to me for wanting to
18:02
Speaker 5: learn how to sing better or learning to speak better,
18:05
Speaker 5: people were also coming because they were having voice problems
18:09
Speaker 5: like stuttering, and so to help them, I reverse engineered
18:14
Speaker 5: a system that would change the way that air flowed.
18:19
Speaker 5: Because Bill, this is amazing. No matter how severely you stutter,
18:24
Speaker 5: you don't stutter when you sing. So I realized the
18:29
Speaker 5: difference between airflow coming out of your mouth when you sing,
18:33
Speaker 5: and like I said, I created a technique, a system
18:36
Speaker 5: that changes the way that the words ride out of
18:39
Speaker 5: your mouth no matter if you stuttered your whole life,
18:42
Speaker 5: and in minutes, people are not stuttering anymore. It's an
18:48
Speaker 5: honor for me to help people who medical science and
18:52
Speaker 5: psychological science that they're doer. But I'm always looking for
18:55
Speaker 5: ways for voice to fix what is previously unfixable. Yeah.
19:00
Speaker 3: One of the things about Roger that I saw about
19:03
Speaker 3: you that I so appreciate is because what modern medicine
19:07
Speaker 3: is all about when you have a really bad throat
19:10
Speaker 3: is let's operate, let's deal with this medically. And as
19:14
Speaker 3: I said, you told me, oh no, this is crazy.
19:17
Speaker 3: I can straighten this out. So normally, if someone were
19:21
Speaker 3: to say to me, I can stop stuttering in just
19:25
Speaker 3: a few lessons, a few just sitting down with just yeah,
19:31
Speaker 3: I guess a few meetings if you will, I would say,
19:33
Speaker 3: come on, this is this is years of dealing with this,
19:38
Speaker 3: and nobody has been able to stop stuttering at all.
19:41
Speaker 2: You because of what you've done.
19:43
Speaker 3: And I don't want to sound too much a kiss ass,
19:46
Speaker 3: which I am in this case, have in fact straightened.
19:50
Speaker 2: It all out. I remember talking to you and we
19:52
Speaker 2: were talking.
19:53
Speaker 3: About some of the people that you helped, and I
19:56
Speaker 3: think it was Eminem hired you to help with his voice.
20:00
Speaker 3: And I said, how was it, How was it working
20:03
Speaker 3: with Eminem? And you said, he doesn't listen. I met
20:06
Speaker 3: with him once and he couldn't give a rat's house
20:08
Speaker 3: what I say. Or do, and I thought that was hilarious.
20:11
Speaker 3: Now I'm assuming Bradley Cooper and Tom Brady. Tom Brady
20:15
Speaker 3: really listened to you.
20:18
Speaker 5: They kid Eminem listened to and changed his breathing and
20:22
Speaker 5: he wasn't even singing the choruses live of the songs.
20:26
Speaker 5: Everybody else on stage was. So we worked together, and
20:30
Speaker 5: everyone either either changes their voices lovingly and excitedly, or
20:36
Speaker 5: sometimes you got to push them a little bit. But
20:39
Speaker 5: you know, people like Bradley Cooper who came to me
20:42
Speaker 5: and said, look, I'm going to be directing, writing, and
20:46
Speaker 5: starring opposite Lady Gaga in a movie called The Stars Born.
20:51
Speaker 5: And by the way, Roger, I'll be singing and I've
20:54
Speaker 5: never really sung before, and we're going to do it
20:56
Speaker 5: all live. So we're not even going to record all
20:58
Speaker 5: the songs in the studio where you can fix it
21:01
Speaker 5: all and make it all pretty. If I didn't make
21:04
Speaker 5: it pretty when the band plays and the camera's role,
21:08
Speaker 5: those are the songs and that's the performance. So we
21:11
Speaker 5: had six months. We saw each other five days week
21:14
Speaker 5: for six months, but the results were the second he
21:18
Speaker 5: opened his mouth and he sang tell me something, millions
21:24
Speaker 5: of people were immediately. I love him. I loved him before,
21:28
Speaker 5: but now he's a singer.
21:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:30
Speaker 3: It was interesting because when that movie came out, which
21:33
Speaker 3: I thought was terrific, the general consensus was, we didn't
21:37
Speaker 3: know that Bradley Cooper could sing, and all of a sudden,
21:41
Speaker 3: here comes a surprise.
21:42
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break in Roger.
21:44
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the documentary that you're involved with,
21:47
Speaker 3: because this is really important stuff for anybody who has
21:50
Speaker 3: a family member or a loved one or a friend
21:52
Speaker 3: who stutters.
21:53
Speaker 2: You know how.
21:54
Speaker 3: Difficult this can be for that person. We'll be right
21:57
Speaker 3: back with Roger Love and talk about his new documentary
22:01
Speaker 3: that just came out. This is KFI.
22:04
Speaker 2: I am six forty. Don't handle here. It is Juneteenth.
22:10
Speaker 3: It is a Friday celebrating some national holiday, celebrating the
22:15
Speaker 3: last day that enslaved Americans were told they were free,
22:20
Speaker 3: three years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Roger Love voice coach, extraordinary,
22:26
Speaker 3: but way more than a voice coach has worked with. Well,
22:31
Speaker 3: I'm going to go through the names that are crazy.
22:33
Speaker 3: Bradley Cooper, Serena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, Tom Brady before he
22:39
Speaker 3: started broadcasting. In any case, Roger is using his skill,
22:44
Speaker 3: which is absolutely extraordinary, to help stutters. So he has
22:49
Speaker 3: moved into the world. They're just helping people a lot,
22:51
Speaker 3: not just individuals who are high end. He helped me,
22:54
Speaker 3: not that I'm high end. As I explained before my
22:57
Speaker 3: voice went out and I was told I needed surgery,
23:00
Speaker 3: Rogers said absolutely not. In three sessions three he was
23:04
Speaker 3: able to straighten me out. So, Roger, there is this
23:07
Speaker 3: documentary that has come out which may be the most
23:11
Speaker 3: important thing you've ever done.
23:13
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that.
23:15
Speaker 5: I've had some exciting moments in my life working with
23:18
Speaker 5: some of the most famous voices in the world and
23:21
Speaker 5: some of the greatest people in the world and helping
23:24
Speaker 5: them find their voice. And it's with stuttering, you know.
23:28
Speaker 5: I love It's not that I'm against the medical community
23:31
Speaker 5: and speech therapists are all great. They're working in the
23:34
Speaker 5: field of pathology. I'm sort of a I am a
23:37
Speaker 5: performance coach, and so I'm always looking for a way
23:42
Speaker 5: of getting to the people to show them what voice
23:44
Speaker 5: is capable of. So crecated this documentary it's called Find
23:49
Speaker 5: Your Voice in an Attempt, and it's working that way
23:53
Speaker 5: to showcase it for millions of people that will see
23:56
Speaker 5: firsthand how easy it is to go from stuttering to stuttering,
24:01
Speaker 5: that your voice isn't broken, you just need to change
24:03
Speaker 5: the airflow. So we followed this gentleman named Alex who's
24:07
Speaker 5: in his thirties, and he really was stuttering and challenged
24:13
Speaker 5: with it his whole life, and it was creating a
24:16
Speaker 5: life that he wasn't enjoying. He didn't have relationships, he
24:20
Speaker 5: didn't have a good job. He was just working at
24:22
Speaker 5: a computer in it so that he didn't have to
24:24
Speaker 5: speak to anyone. And his dream was to be a realtor.
24:28
Speaker 5: And if you're going to be a realtor, you have
24:30
Speaker 5: to be able to speak and create relationships and talk
24:34
Speaker 5: about the pros and kurds of the house. So he
24:37
Speaker 5: came to me and in literally less than an hour total,
24:43
Speaker 5: I gave him his voice back better than he could
24:46
Speaker 5: have ever dreamt. And then we follow him as he
24:49
Speaker 5: goes into this realty career and he becomes a great
24:53
Speaker 5: communicator and it's so uplifting. And the debut is June
24:59
Speaker 5: twenty fourth in Los Angeles at the Dances with Films
25:03
Speaker 5: LA Festival, which is the biggest film festival in the
25:07
Speaker 5: last twenty nine years in La ten twenty thousand. I
25:10
Speaker 5: believe people will come to see the films. And it
25:14
Speaker 5: opened up last night, that was the premiere. But Find
25:18
Speaker 5: your Voice debuts on June twenty fourth at the Chinese
25:22
Speaker 5: Theater Iconic Chinese Theater. And so this is just my
25:27
Speaker 5: way of bringing what I do to the public so
25:30
Speaker 5: that they know what's possible and then they can make
25:33
Speaker 5: life choices.
25:35
Speaker 3: Yeah. One of the things what you said is you
25:38
Speaker 3: worked and within one hour you were able to help him.
25:41
Speaker 3: And normally anybody were to say that to me and
25:44
Speaker 3: say and Bill, I want to go on the show
25:46
Speaker 3: and go you're completely crazy. We might as well talk
25:48
Speaker 3: about Martians that have landed in Wilshire Boulevard, because that's
25:53
Speaker 3: how ridiculous it sounds. I got to tell you, I
25:56
Speaker 3: have to tell people that are listening just this is
25:58
Speaker 3: Roger straightened me out. And I had a voice that
26:02
Speaker 3: I thought I wasn't going to broadcast again. Three sessions
26:05
Speaker 3: we were done. So when Roger says I can work
26:08
Speaker 3: with your voice, yeah, And stuttering is horrible for people's
26:13
Speaker 3: confidence identity. I mean it's a real problem. And if
26:15
Speaker 3: you know anybody or you stutter, you know what I'm
26:17
Speaker 3: talking about, So once again at the Chinese Theater and
26:22
Speaker 3: it opens up What Day Again.
26:26
Speaker 5: June twenty fourth. And if anyone is moved by wanting
26:30
Speaker 5: to get over the challenge of settering or wanting to
26:33
Speaker 5: work on their voice because they don't like the way
26:34
Speaker 5: that they sound, they should go to two places because
26:37
Speaker 5: I have a lot of content, a lot of free
26:39
Speaker 5: information that people can already start changing today. They can
26:42
Speaker 5: go to my Instagram, which is the official Roger Love.
26:46
Speaker 5: And they can go to the website voice dot sorry,
26:50
Speaker 5: speak dot voice place dot com that speak dot voice
26:55
Speaker 5: place dot com if that if you're interested in trying
27:00
Speaker 5: to fix the stuttering, so two places ago, don't.
27:03
Speaker 2: Okay, And the name once again of the documentary.
27:06
Speaker 5: Is find your Voice.
27:10
Speaker 2: Okay.
27:11
Speaker 3: And by the way, I want to tell people about you.

Speaker 3: If you have a voice problem and you would like
27:18
Speaker 3: to see Roger personally, there is no chance in hell
27:22
Speaker 3: that you're going to be able to because Roger is
27:26
