Do you ever wish that your own voice sounded like someone else's? 'Cause I do.
I know, I know. This blog is turning into a forum to make Andrea not feel so crazy. Have you noticed?
Anyways, moving on with the crazy...
...my kids were watching Lady and the Tramp in the car last weekend. Daniel had gotten a stand-by electric "emergency" phone call while were out running errands. Soooo, the kids and I ended up at the base shoppette stuck in the car waiting for him to fix the problem. Fun times. An in-car movie was just the ticket.
I was sitting in my seat listening to Peggy Lee's voice as she acted out Lady... I decided then and there that if I could somehow switch voices with anyone, it would be her.
That's not too entirely crazy, right? Fine. It is but whatever.
Tell me if you have ever wished for a voice switch, and if so whose voice do you wish you could thieve.

I'm not sure whose speaking voice I would steal (I'm picturing that scene from The Little Mermaid right now...), but I have often wanted to steal singing voices!
It would be fun to have a "voice over" though. People are always telling me that I have a "weird" or "unique" voice, usually asking where I'm from or why I have such a strange accent. Personally, I don't think I speak differently than anyone else in my hometown, but I guess I do!
And um, sorry, but I don't really have a recording lying around to show you what I mean!
hmm I always wanted someone elses voice!! Singing I want Carrie Underwoods voice, regular talking any British accent or Tara Reid. She has a weird raspy voice that I really like. :)
i would totally love an australian accent. some people say my voice now sounds kind of southern..which i do not hear considering i grew up in northern virginia...i would definitely want a voice over if given the chance.
There are a few ... Whoever voiced Sleeping Beauty, and I agree, whoever it would be would have to be able to sing well. Interesting question. I really don't like my voice although people tell me it is a "normal voice" but on a recording - yuck.
I am mostly okay with my voice now, but I really hate how I sound when you record me. Everyone tells me this is not the case in real life, but on recording I sound like a little boy .
When I was little I always wanted Eva Gabor's voice (Miss Bianca in "The Rescuers". Now...maybe her or maybe just a nice Oxford accent. Singing voice is easy. I would give a lot to sing like Sarah Brightman. :)
I am not sure who's voice I would want, although I have a long list of voices that I always say "boy I sure hope that I don't sound like that" I do have to say though it was really neat when you posted the V blog to hear what your voice sounded like.
I love Maya Angelo's voice. The deep, raspy voice speaks of wisdom and a life well lived. Plus the deepness is just so cool.
Jennifer Nettles from Sugarland when she is singing 'Stay'....
Love her...
Your not weird, I think these same things. Or, maybe we're both weird. Who knows. Anyway, I just love Judy Garland's voice (talking and singing)! I don't like her whiny voice in the Wizard of Oz, but otherwise, I love it.
If I couldn't have hers then I would love to have a kickin' British accent.
I DO think about this because I HATE my speaking voice!!! so much! And I would probably like to have some kind of beautiful accent, like a light British accent I guess. But since I'm not from there, it would sound stupid. So I don't know who's I'd like, just one that's nicer than mine!! :-)
Faith Hill, for speaking and singing. Slightly southern, slightly raspy, and seriously, I could listen to her sing all day, and have on occassion :)
Oh, and there's an award (that comes with a tag) on my blog, waiting for you!
But do you ever pause in one of those funny/weird how in the world did I end up here moments and go hum... what would the soundtrack song for this moment be? haha - not that I have EVER done that.
I would steal SOMEBODY's voice for sure. I always thought my voice was weird, and listening to myself on voicemail...well, let's just say I don't love it.
Ok, so I am coming out of lurking to tell you that you are not crazy! One of the reasons I married my husband is because his father's voice is like the movie trailer voice over guy. When Carl and I were dating I would picture his dad reading our children bed time stories! No you are not crazy....unless I am....
I'm fine with my speaking voice, but I wish I could sing like Leann Rimes!
Instead I sing like Scuttle.
