Greatest Voice Ever?
 

What's the greatest voice you have ever heard? It doesn't have to be a famous singer, perhaps just someone you heard talking somewhere or something.

Personally I think that Leontyne Price (Opera legend) she has the greatest voice I have ever heard; vocal colours are amazing, and her phrasing is beyond reality. Whenever I hear her voice, I rise above reality.

And you?

It's a tie between Vincent Price and James Earl Jones. To hear Price recite Poe gives me chills. I could sit and listen to James Earl Jones read the phone book and not be bored!

Thurl Ravenscroft

Eddie Deezen

and barry white along with the above mentioned :D

Good call, stubborn!! I forgot about him! :cool:

Paul Frees I have always liked for his voiceovers, Ken Nordine the same, and on the very relaxing, pretty side, Barbara Gaskin, whose voice adds something special to any song.

James Earl Jones for sure.

being into music as much as i am i have to go w/ a singer: jeff buckley

Hmmm.. Tie between Katherine Mcfee and Kelly Pickler.


before you all shoot, i am kidding...

For voice talent...

He: Lane Staley. Amazing power and control. real shame, and a far bigger loss of talent than Kurt Cobain....

She: Shoot me, but either Celine Dion or Whitney Houston, just in terms of sheer control

As voice actors go, i would have to say a 3 way tie between Dan Castelenetta, Harry Shearer and Hank Azaria. I love the simpsons more than i love most things.

Christopher Guest is a good one along those lines too, even though he is in a lot of movies, he can do a lot of different voices effectively.

billy zane in demon night, his voice is awesome in that movie!


singer wise at this point in time it's a girl named cassie!

Dont forget Michael McKean either.

Hell Spinal Tap is just damn talented :)

How could i have forgotten this one?!?! One of the greatest voice actors ever:

The Late Great Phil Hartman

I still have a hard time believing he is gone, even though it has been almost a decade.

I'd have to say Glenn Danzig

Yeah. I couldn't believe that when that happened. Still depressing to think about.

Another one for Vincent Price.

Freddy Fucking Mercury.

Oh, and Martin Landau when he does Bela Lugosi.

And Vincent Price, doing anything.

O ya Neil Young.
an how could i forget Ozzy

Tim Curry
Christopher Walken
Vincent Price

robert plant
nina simone
nat king cole

did anyone say jack nicholson???

Singing. Hmmmm - maybe Claudio from Coheed and Cambria. Matt Bellamy from Muse is pretty impressive live. Ah I dunno.

Speaking? It's gotta be Bjork. I love listening to her talk.

I like watching Bjork beat up reporters.

What sound did her purse make when it hit that lady in the head?

"Bjork"

:D

LOL....sweet little Icelander my ass. It's a shame she wasn't wearing the swan dress while she did it....she could have gotten a spot on When Animals Attack.

:D

cartman off south park

Meat Loaf and Mahalia Jackson

Freddy M was great too!


As for Bjork, she can 'bjork' me anytime anywhere!! (swan suit and all !!)

Meat Loaf does have an amazing voice now that I think of it.

Peter cetera :D

Speaking of Björk:
