They weren’t though. Even eight years ago they were only 6 to 7 shows per day five days per week.

VIDEO - The new American Adventure Golden Dream finale
The American Adventure has reopened at Epcot with a new finale film and soundtrack.www.wdwmagic.com
Is Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods still in there? Wasn't Bret Favre in there too? That is the problem with people, even heroes, they are still human. I remember the last time I saw the show and thinking it needed an update.

The main show hasn't changed with exception of new AA's in 93.. the finale is the only thing that has changed from the majority of the attraction.
But, I do love throwing this liitle fact..Dallas Mckennon the voice of Ben Franklin in the attraction is also your safety spiel announcer on Big Thunder

I don't get it but I accept it!!
So wait, there are non-performing days? I thought I heard that!
I used to get chills listening to them. and they are gracious and talk to the crowd a bit after.

Ever since they changed the finale music in 2018 I have not stepped foot inside that building. Absolutely horrid.

I don't think that there are entire days when there's no show. But there are fewer performances by Voices than there are showings of The American Adventure.
Possibly the VOL performers are under the weather like some people during the flu season?

No, it's scheduled that way. If there are, say, 12 shows a day of AA, there might be 7 shows from VoL. It's just luck of the draw whether you'll see VoL right before an AA show.
Wow I've been lucky every time! Grateful.
it’s not random, all their shows are in the middle of the day. Which also corresponds with the hours the show is most well attended.

Makes sense.
I miss it. It's so great, uplifting, especially in difficult times. ☮
Another weirdo question, sorry, do they ever give tours of what is under the stage, in other words, how the scenes are raised and lowered?

We saw AA Nov. 12 and as always, I cried. The entire show looks "fresher" to me (can't explain why), and the montage at the end has some additions. I can tell that the song has been re-recorded, but it is the same stirring song and music as before. This is a not to be missed attraction for us whether or not we get to see and hear the Voices of Liberty.

Never liked that overly-sacharine, commercial way of singing. It masks the singers' natural voices and talent. My wife was friends and a fellow voice major with a woman who ultimately got a job with VOL. I went to one of her recitals and she could have gotten a job at just about any Opera she wanted to. When we saw her in VOL a few years later, she sounded like what I imagine a 70s Hallmark card would sound like.
Also, not been a big fan of Derric Johnson. Great arranger, but kind of a jerk to singers backstage.
