Adele

My voice went recently, never happened before, off like a tap. I had to sit in silence for nine days, chalkboard around my neck. Like an old-school mime. Like a kid in the naughty corner. Like a Victorian mute.

English Singer

Paul Haggis

When I discovered European filmmakers, it affected me so deeply. It redefined what cinema could be. I mean, 'Blow-Up' ends with a dead body and mimes playing tennis. What?

Canadian Director

Anthony Daniels

Everybody uses mime and gesture in real life, though we don't realize it. It's very useful as a performance technique, though it can be boring to watch on its own.

English Actor

Keith Emerson

There's a clip where he had someone miming me running around from keyboard to keyboard. Oh dear, I am sure a lot of people didn't know what he was going on about.

British Musician

David Bowie

I don't profess to have music as my big wheel and there are a number of other things as important to me apart from music. Theatre and mime, for instance.

English Musician

Marcel Marceau

Mime is an art beyond words. It is the art of the essential. And you cannot lie. You have to show the truth.

French Actor

Peter Mayhew

I think the main thing was that the character couldn't speak in regular language, so he had to be mimed.

British Actor

Tanikella Bharani

Mime is in our daily life and with little effort, we can all perfect the art form.

Indian Actor

Kristanna Loken

I worked with a mime coach. I did weapons training. I did weight training.

American Actress

Tom Bergeron

I studied and performed and even taught mime years ago.

American Celebrity

Focus on body language and facial expressions, as mime relies on them to tell a story or convey emotions.

Silent Expression

Mimes act out narratives using gestures and movements, like a silent movie unfolding live.

Visual Storytelling

Appreciate mime as an art form that requires immense control and precision to suggest invisible objects and scenarios.

Non-verbal Skill

Miming actions means not using sounds; in fact, it's about silent imitation.

No Sound Effects

When miming, gestures should be clear and exaggerated to ensure understanding without words.

Clarity in Gestures

As an entertainment form, mime is performed at events, in theatres, or on the street.

Performance Art

Mimes often engage with the audience, encouraging them to infer the story and react.

Audience Interaction

 I'm able to see the contradiction that you may not be able to see. Like for instance a mime once -- or a meme as he called himself. He was a very selfish meme. And he said that I had to show more respect because it took up to 18 years
