VOICES IN MY HEAD: A LIFE***

Bill Ratner is a master: from the first moment, you know you can settle back; you are in good hands. It may be cliched to say I laughed, I cried-- but, well, I laughed, I cried. (OK, sue me.) He takes you on a trip through his life, and when he's done you're all the better for it. Go. (And besides, it's less than an hour!)... full review

Wonderful show! When it was over, I just wanted Bill Ratner to keep on talking - more, more more! ... full review

Bill Ratner is a compelling story-teller. I was on the edge of my seat....transported through time. I feel like I know the characters in his life. The behind the scenes stories of his life as a big time announcer are lots of fun, but I found the family scenes most affecting. This piece takes you places you did not expect to go when you read the description. There is a reason why Bill has won so many of the MOTH grand slams. A lot of story tellers are locked into a style, or storytelling "persona" which I find irritating. Bill is just himself. Voices in my head is a fascinating life journey, told by a master storyteller. I wished it was longer. That tells you something. - Beau Weaver ... full review

Ratner's "Voices in My Head" is more than your average memory play. In less than an hour, he expertly guides us on a journey through not just his own life, but the kind of life that many in the creative and entertainment fields will recognize: early infatuation with all manner of media, the need for attention, the yearning to find one's own voice and share it with the world, reckoning with love and loss and transmuting it into artistic expression, and finally, pondering the sublime mysteries of life and human existence itself. Ratner was born with more than great "pipes," as they say in the trade; he's an almost supernaturally gifted raconteur with the seemingly effortless ability to weave spellbinding narratives about virtually any subje... full review

Bill has lived an incredible life and it was entertaining, moving, and hilarious to hear him recount it. It's easy to see why he's made a living as a voice actor - his voice and performance are wonderful and his ability to go in and out of character's, both famous and non, is incredible. Bill's a natural story teller and it's a pleasure to hear him spin a yarn!... full review
