greta and francis - two stage props

The recorded voice can sound thinner and higher pitched. There’s a second reason hearing a recording of your voice can be so disconcerting. It really is a new voice – one that exposes a difference between your self-perception and reality. Not so for Greta and Francis. They love the sound of their own voices, and together they have achieved nothing and made nothing.
