Oh, HELL no! Never, never, never, never, never! Anyone who knows me know that I'm a chatterbox - my aunt called me her "chickadee" because she said I was cheerful, chattery and chirpy LOL.

How long could I go without talking? Well, I've gone pretty lengthy spans of time (a day or so) when I was the only one home. But I did still talk to myself ( Read more... )

I've done vocal rest before, usually when I'm sick right before a show. It's amazing how much you can communicate with raising an eyebrow or twitching your lips. I actually was okay with not speaking all day. Once I did almost a whole week with minimal talking because I got really sick right before opening "Antigone" and I had the lions share of lines in that show and I needed my voice back.

Luckily, I don't have to worry about that since I'm not an actress! That would be super stressful.

That reminds me - I did go like 2 days without talking once because I had a virus that made my throat hurt so bad I couldn't even swallow, let alone talk. I had to communicate via pen and pencil. You really realize how much you don't need to say when you have to write out everything LOL.
