Little Voice
Herman, Mark (director)
Year Published: 1998 Laura Hoff (played by Jane Horrocks), an only child, is a reclusive young woman who lives with her mother, Mari, in a working-class home in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England. She is known as LV (short for Little Voice) because of her soft, shy, and childlike speaking voice. She flees reality, hiding away in her bedroom, listening to records and impersonating the voices of American and British artists such as Marilyn Monroe, Gracie Fields, Judy Garland, and Shirley Bassey; her love of songs is her only source of strength since her beloved father's death. Ray Say, a down and out talent agent. Ray, on the lookout for an act to carry him to fame and fortune, hears LV's impressions and recognizes her gift.
