The first time I heard ET's voice, I became an instant fan. If you've ever been to church and you hear the pastor speaking, and you think, Man, he must be talking to me, that's how it is to hear ET speak. It always feels like he's talking directly to you. He shows up 100 percent every time without asking for anything in return.
