Funded in part by a Kickstarter campaign, this American documentary was first runner-up for the People’s Choice Award for Best Documentary at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. Selected as the Closing Night Film at the Scottish Queer International Film Festival, SPECTRUM is pleased to announce the UK release of the fascinating documentary about finding your true voice, DO I SOUND GAY?, available digitally and on DVD from 7th December 2015. To celebrate the release, we have three copies of the DVD to give away!
Determined to confront his anxiety about “sounding gay”, journalist David Thorpe embarks on a hilarious and touching journey, exploring the linguistic, cultural and historical origins of the stereotype of the gay voice.
Enlisting the frank and often funny perspectives of famous faces including writer David Sedaris, author, journalist and activist for the LGBT community Dan Savage, comedian Margaret Cho, actor George Takei and fashion guru Tim Gunn as well as family, friends, and even complete strangers, David learns that people – gay, straight and everything in between – often wish for a different voice.
Drawing upon movie and television clips, acting coaches and linguists, Do I Sound Gay? uncovers the broader context of this widely-felt insecurity and illuminates the complexities at play in a highly personal and current issue.
