The Power of the Human Voice

I recently saw the latest Star Wars movie "The Last Jedi." It was powerful in many ways, not the least of which was because it was the final film for actress Carrie Fisher, who was excellent. In film, the way to connect with the theater goer is with close-ups of the faces of the actors. It's powerful and we respond, as human beings, to another person's face. When radio was born, people could not see faces, and the connection radio listeners would make would be with people's voices.
