Lays it out well. I learned it from Ari, also, too many years ago. (wow... it was.... jeez... long time ago) Anyway, learned it well. I almost always sit on the aisle. I, uh.... kinda, uh... overflow, if you know what I mean. Ari was walking down the aisle, with a single needle tool in his hand, gesticulating while he talked. Voiced my arm nicely. White shirt, too. The stuff you never forget, y'know? Most voicing is accomplished, I think, by a combination of techniques and effort. Best to try them all, no?
