Whilst listening to the radio on the way to work, they played a song i wasn't familiar with, But instantly knew it was, Phil Oakley. What voice when you hear it is unmistakable.

KinkyShibby has a distinct voice but I don’t known how many people will know her. She certainly won’t be recognised from radio or tv shows!

"Whilst listening to the radio on the way to work, they played a song i wasn't familiar with, But instantly knew it was, Phil Oakley. What voice when you hear it is unmistakable.

I am quite good at recognizing voices but then I am a musician and I've had a life long passion for listening to the radio.

I memorize lyrics and learn how to play songs "by ear"...

I guess that close scrutiny results in the memory retention of who sings what?

David Bowie is probably the easiest one to spot in my humble opinion, he was one of the best.

When it comes to speaking, I could listen to Sir Ian McKellan all day long, his voice is like laying in a bath of melted chocolate to my ears.

He did very much consider that to be his voice. He was offered much newer, far more “human” voices, but he always said no, “this is me”.

For sure. The point was that he came to consider that original synthesised voice was “his voice”. A new voice at first, but it became “him” in time. I think it’s partly because that’s very much the voice he was associated with and known for.

It was how he articulated his thoughts and communicated with the world. It might not be his original accent, but it was definitely his voice, once he no longer had his natural voice.

That's him!

He crops up surprisingly often elsewhere, although with not quite such a manic tone to his voice. Still fairly easy to spot, though
