Cat got your tongue?

Just for grins, let's say you've lost your voice. But you're lucky. The voice gods have decided to let you choose another......another from cinema, television, radio.....another from theatre, opera, rock and roll......another from news broadcasts, talk show hosts, disc jockeys...any recorded voice which unfortunately eliminates Thomas Jefferson, Aristotle, et alia.

Whose would you choose?

Freddie Mercury. Such a beautiful voice, from such an ugly man.

Or maybe Hugh Grant. I love his voice. I also love Ewan McGregor and Jude Law, but... mneh.

Vin Diesel has a marvelous voice. Would probably look pretty funny coming out of me, though. Uh . . . Kathleen Turner?

Paul Robeson.

I like my voice. I don't think I'd like to change it even if I could.

I was just thinking about Freddie Mercury the other day because of the kindness, giving, charity thread. That is my dream, to have such a beautiful voice, that sharing it with others, gives something to them, improves the quality of their life.

If I can't have that give me the voice of Sean Connery. Chicks would really dig that.
Elspode • May 7, 2007 12:03 am
Since Sean Connery has already been taken, I'm going to take Richard Burton's.
xoxoxoBruce • May 7, 2007 12:33 am
You could have Johnny Cash.

So I guess I'll take Lara Logan from CBS News.

My voice is great. I just wish I could curb my seasonal allergies so my rich, deep voice could shine all the time.

Right after I said Marilyn I thought:--NO! WAIT! Johnny Cash!


Can I be Johnny Cash? Coz, ya know, I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...

You'll have to ask the xo for Cash, but Monroe seems to fit. If not, I've still got a Patricia Neal on the shelf, or how about a Mercedes McCambridge? Yeah, that should do. You won't have to shoot 'em, just scare 'em to death.

if i were a man it would be - Gerard Butler - mmm mmm

as far as women - the good ones have been taken - not many
that stick out in my mind as being memorable.
glatt • May 8, 2007 5:12 pm
If I lost my voice, I'd totally take the voice of Emo Philips. The chicks dig that voice.

I so hated to watch her sing - she's funny but the way she jerks
her jaw back & forth - drove me insane

How freaky would it be hearing someone else's voice when you speak?

Anyway I like my speaking voice, so I think I'll pass
I'll keep my own but tighten up my diction - I hate the sloppy way I sound

If it's singing voice I'll take Amy Winehouse please
She sounds like a drunken East End cabbie when she talks, but boy she has a beautiful singing voice
Weird Harold • May 10, 2007 8:57 pm
I really dislike my voice, it reminds me of Jethro Bodine, but more nasal. I cringe when I call home, and no one answers, and I have to listen to my voice on the answering machine.

How's about Richard Boone, [COLOR=darkred]Weird Harold[/COLOR]? Or maybe Lorne Green?

Right. Given Lee Marvin for two weeks, you'd have alienated the whole lot. But you would have learned to choose your words carefully, eh?

I remember Lorne Green. I remember Pat Boone. Who is Richard Boone? I'll practice saying " a ragtag armada", and "go fix the fence Little Joe" until I hear back from you.
Hyoi • May 13, 2007 10:10 am
Had no idea the man was Pat Boone's cousin. If you recall Hop Sing and company, you probably also remember Paladin. Truly great voice.
