Talk:Will Powers

CD Baby
The CD Baby addition reads like an ad. I note that CD Baby has a Wikipedia listing that is currently being disputed. Is the CD Baby link here considered an ad? Should it be removed? R. Kevin Doyle 18:33, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Merge?
I think the article Kissing With Confidence should be merged into this article.--Design (talk) 12:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Opinion
I'm not a fan of tagging articles, but this section really needs some supporting documentations:

The album, entitled Dancing for Mental Health, uses affirmations set to music to poke fun at the self help entrepeners who "build the listener's inner self and encourage personal growth through the thought that anything is possible".

I remember the release of the album, and from what I recall, Goldsmith was completely serious in her desire to make a "self-help" record. Unless this viewpoint can be substantiated by an interview with Goldsmith or one of her collaborators, this POV should be struck. K8 fan (talk) 00:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Following up, I found a quote from Goldsmith on Carly Simon's web page that confirmed the comedy POV. K8 fan (talk) 00:14, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I have recently completed an interview with Lynn Goldsmith on "Revenge of the 80s Radio" (which will broadcast on 9/19 and the podcast will be available on 9/20) about Will Powers. She, in fact, was very serious about her intent and reveals several details. If you would like to use the interview as a reference when it is released, please feel free to do so. (www.revengeofthe80sradio.com) --  it will be on the site on 9/20/08. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S. Baldrick (talk • contribs) 16:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Will you be transcribing the interview to text as well? K8 fan (talk) 19:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

I, unfortunately, do not have the time to transcribe it. Here, however, is teh link: http://www.revengeofthe80sradio.com/?p=278  —Preceding unsigned comment added by S. Baldrick (talk • contribs) 14:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Vocoder
Having heard the record and seen a TV interview with Will Powers, I'm pretty sure that the voice effect is not achieved with a vocoder but with a pitch shifter. These are completely different electronic techniques for processing a voice. If there's a preponderance of reliable sources that say vocoder, I will stand corrected, but I've changed the lead text for now. It should be uncontroversial that the Will Powers voice is at a lower pitch than Lynn Goldsmith's natural voice, however the effect is achieved. MartinPoulter (talk) 12:31, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
