2、 eye contact with anyone. Until someone notices me, and I just panic. And the person walks up to me, and says, Hi, my name is So-and-so. And what is your name? And Im just quiet, unable to respond. After some awkward silence, he goes, Have you forgotten your name? And Im still quiet. And then, slowl
3、y, all the other people in the room begin to turn toward me and ask, almost in unison,(Voice-over, several voices) Have you forgotten your name? As the chant gets louder, I want to respond, but I dont.Im a visual artist. Some of my work is humorous, and some is a bit funny but in a sad way. And one
4、thing that I really enjoy doing is making these little animations where I get to do the voice-over for all kinds of characters. Ive been a bear.(Video) Bear (Safwat Saleems voice): Hi.Safwat Saleem: Ive been a whale.(Video) Whale (SSs voice): Hi.SS: Ive been a greeting card.(Video) Greeting card (SS
5、s voice): Hi.SS: And my personal favorite is Frankensteins monster.(Video) Frankensteins monster (SSs voice): (Grunts)SS: I just had to grunt a lot for that one.A few years ago, I made this educational video about the history of video games. And for that one, I got to do the voice of Space Invader.(
6、Video) Space Invader (SSs voice): Hi.SS: A dream come true, really,(Laughter) And when that video was posted online, I just sat there on the computer, hitting refresh, excited to see the response. The first comment comes in.(Video) Comment: Great job. SS: Yes! I hit refresh.(Video) Comment: Excellen
7、t video. I look forward to the next one.SS: This was just the first of a two-part video. I was going to work on the second one next. I hit refresh.(Video) Comment: Where is part TWO? WHEREEEEE? I need it NOWWWWW!: PSS: People other than my mom were saying nice things about me, on the Internet! It fe
8、lt like I had finally arrived. I hit refresh.(Video) Comment: His voice is annoying. No offense.SS: OK, no offense taken. Refresh.(Video) Comment: Could you remake this without peanut butter in your mouth?SS: OK, at least the feedback is somewhat constructive. Hit refresh.(Video) Comment: Please don
9、t use this narrator again u can barely understand him.SS: Refresh.(Video) Comment: Couldnt follow because of the Indian accent.SS: OK, OK, OK, two things. Number one, I dont have an Indian accent, I have a Pakistani accent, OK? And number two, I clearly have a Pakistani accent.But comments like that
10、 kept coming in, so I figured I should just ignore them and start working on the second part of the video. I recorded my audio, but every time I sat down to edit, I just could not do it. Every single time, it would take me back to my childhood, when I had a much harder time speaking.Ive stuttered fo
11、r as long as I can remember. I was the kid in class who would never raise his hand when he had a question - or knew the answer. Every time the phone rang, I would run to the bathroom so I would not have to answer it. If it was for me, my parents would say Im not around. I spent a lot of time in the

That joke never got old.I spent my childhood feeling that if I spoke, it would become obvious that there
13、was something wrong with me, that I was not normal. So I mostly stayed quiet. And so you see, eventually for me to even be able to use my voice in my work was a huge step for me. Every time I record audio, I fumble my way through saying each sentence many, many times, and then I go back in and pick
14、the ones where I think I suck the least.(Voice-over) SS: Audio editing is like Photoshop for your voice. I can slow it down, speed it up, make it deeper, add an echo. And if I stutter along the way, and if I stutter along the way, I just go back in and fix it. Its magic.SS: Using my highly edited vo
15、ice in my work was a way for me to finally sound normal to myself. But after the comments on the video, it no longer made me feel normal. And so I stopped using my voice in my work. Since then, Ive thought a lot about what it means to be normal. And Ive come to understand that normal has a lot to do with expectations.Let me give you an example. I came across this story about the Ancient Greek writer, Homer. Now, Homer mentions very few colors in his writing. And even when he does, he seems to get them quite a bit wrong. For example, the sea is described as wine red
