Instinct vs. Thinking. Which is better in voice over?

Agatha Christie was born 133 years ago today, on Sept 15, 1890. She wrote the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap, performed in the West End since 1952. I had the pleasure to Paravicini. one of my favs! #agathachristie#mousetrap#theater#westend#birthday#murdermystery
I went to see the Andrews Brothers by Roger Bean last night. You definitely get a feel for the 40s war-era in this musical and come away with some real good feels! Anyone else love film, plays, or musicals from this era? #WWII#musicals#plays#theater#movies#greatestgeneration
