  • Trivia
    He taught a voice class at UCLA extension in the late '70s, teaching vocal exercises and techniques for adapting one's vocal range to suit stage and film. This writer was able to lose his nasal, mid-west twang and find a deeper and more resonant tone using Woolman's technique. And Woolman never once mentioned his great role in the Zanti Misfits episode of the Outer Limits.
