What's it like living with a loud voice

Sanda Reporter from Stuff

Hi there,

I'm writing a story on what's it like to live with a loud voice. Are you someone who gets high-pitched whenever you are excited? Does your family constantly nag you to dial down your voice? Or are you someone who's annoyed by your loved ones' loud talking?

I'm writing a story on what's it like to live with a loud voice. Are you someone who gets high-pitched whenever you are excited? Does your family constantly nag you to dial down your voice? Or are you someone who's annoyed by your loved ones' loud talking?

If you can relate to any such scenario, I would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or you can email me at sanda.arambepola@stuff.co.nz

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon - 50th Anniversary show

Stardome Observatory & Planetarium from Stardome Observatory & Planetarium

Pink Floyd’s iconic album ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, originally released in March 1973, turns 50, and what more fitting place to experience it than in a planetarium, with the music set to visuals.

With the help of modern technology, the show combines breath-taking views of the solar system and beyond, played out to 42 minutes of The Dark Side of the Moon in surround sound.

Each song has a different theme; some futuristic and some a retro acknowledgment to Pink Floyd’s visual history, all relating to a time and space experience. This is a truly immersive and all-encompassing surround sound and visual treat that will transcend reality and take you way beyond the realms of 2D experience.
