teller explains the whole story behind his silence on stage

[Philippe]

Hearing his voice felt like a magic trick being revealed.

[babymiyuki]

who else came here just to hear tellers voice for once?

[anchuto]

How to get people’s attention: stay silent for 40 years.

[asafupps]

Hearing Teller’s voice feels the same as looking at The Mandalorian’s face

[Sherman]

His voice is so soothing. Didn’t expect this radio voice from him.

I got to meet Penn and Teller after on of their shows. Teller was the sweetest, most polite gentleman I’ve ever met. I told him that I went to their show as a celebration for completing cancer treatment. Teller then told me that he was a cancer survivor too. As I walked away he said “Keep fighting kiddo!” That was the happiest moment of my life.

The first time I heard Tellers voice was when I was selected as a volunteer for their show. While Penn is talking to the crowd Teller is talking to the volunteer telling them what to do/expect. I realized the genius of this is he can talk in a normal voice because he isn’t miced up.

[adamburdt]

I didnt expect him to sound anything like this. Ironically he actually has a great speaking voice

[gameblor]

An amazingly soothing voice. Teller could narrate documentaries.

[shyman]

Shocked to discover that a man who finally speaks after 40 years of silence is more articulate than most.

[noodle]

This is like hearing Ferb talk for the first time.

[AlexIsModded]

He has such a smooth voice. And he's been keeping it secret from everyone.

[mohamedelmoustapha]

Penn is a great ventriloquist, amazing talent .

[najihshabircr]

I feel guilty listening to Teller's voice. It's like I wasn't suppose to hear his voice but here i am lol

[IusedtohaveausernameIliked]

"Nothing fools you better than the lie you tell yourself." What words of wisdom. It's not just true in magic but in almost every part of life.

[arashleyva]

I had thought his voice was a lot higher

[mrfivegold]

He’s not talking, he is lip syncing a pre recording.

[dania]

Penn's joke about Teller "streamlining" the razor act into needles is greatly under appreciated by the audience.

[michaelstronghold]

"Nothing is more convincing than the lie you tell yourself"

Did not expect such a profound statement here.
