Synopsis

Rob Paulsen is one of Hollywood's busiest, most talented, and most passionate performers. If you don't know him by name, you will know him by the many characters he has brought to life: Pinky from Pinky and the Brain and Yakko from Animaniacs, the tough, but loveable, Raphael from the original animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and many more.

So, you can imagine how terrifying it must have been when Rob was diagnosed with throat cancer, putting his entire livelihood in jeopardy and threatening to rob the world of all his loveable characters that filled our youth and adulthood with humor and delight.

Voice Lessons tells the heartwarming and life-affirming story of Rob's experience with an aggressive cancer treatment and recovery regimen, which luckily led to a full recovery. Rob quickly returned to doing what he loves most, but with a much deeper appreciation of what he came so close to losing. His new lease on life inspired him to rededicate himself to his fans, particularly the new friends he made along the way: hundreds of sick children and their families. Rob said it best himself: "I can not only continue to make a living, but make a difference, and I can't wait to use that on the biggest scale that I can."

I never take the time to write reviews because Taste is subjective and I don’t want my opinions to prevent people from reading books they might otherwise enjoy. I really believe in giving everything a change regardless of what others think. That said, if you grew up in the early 90s watching cartoons......more

What an inspiring book. I was interested in reading Voice Lessons because I am a fan of Rob Paulsen. He is a very good-hearted and talented voice actor, and voices some of my favorite cartoon characters ever (from Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain). I thought this was a very neat book.
