Posted: 12/20/05 at 3:14pmI'm not even striving that far. I'd be happy if I could just carry a tune in a paper bag. I can't even do that.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 3:47pmI'd say a mixture of Norbert and Gavin Creel would be very nice. With maybe a little Roger Bart thrown in.

Being a trained vocalist, I am happy with my voice. However, I guess my style is modeled after Anthony Warlow or Stokes. A classically trained voice that can adapt to the style of music being performed.
...now if I could only improve my dancing I'd be set!

I like my voice alright but I like Tracie Thom's much more. Sara Ramirez is quite amazing too.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 4:08pmI'd like to sound different then any other voice. Yes maybe sound like a certain one but still have my own to it. First I would want just any good, talented, trained voice that sounds very nice to one's ears. But if I really had to say it would be Idina's sound and Sheries belt/range.

I said to my friend once... imagine having Kristen Chenoweth's range, Idina's power and belt and Kerry Butler's tonality.
Am I cut out to spend my time this way?

Posted: 12/20/05 at 5:49pmFor me it's a mix of George Hearn, Gary Beach, and Chip Zien...well, maybe not a mix but to be able to switch back and forth would be nice.

I like my voice, I just wish my belt was a little stronger on the high notes. Of course, if I would just buckle down and take voice lessons, that would probably help a lot.
If I could have anyone's voice, it would be Lea Salonga's. It's so pure and she conveys so much emotion with it.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 7:14pmI can't sing at all, so I would love to just sound like anyone that can sing. But if I had to pick someone it would be Sherie Rene Scott or Idina Menzel.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 7:18pmEven though I'm a girl, I would love to have Anthony Rapp's voice. I don't know why. There's just something I love about it.
You must think I'm still sixteen.
I dropped out of high school for a reason.
And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right.

"I like my voice and don't want to sound like anyone else. If I did... why would anyone hire me if they could hire that person?"
Because an unknown would be cheaper? :P

Haha, I love the subtle thread jacking.
"Well I have a legit voice and pretty high rock belt BUT..." or "I'm pretty happy with my voice, being classically trained and all but..", I mean, pleeease just answer the question!
Anyway, BILLY PORTER! But not poor vocal health Billy, but I'm gonna show all of y'all biznatches up with my crazy high, gospel growling, vocal riffing, bad a$$!! (for belting), and a little Mandy Patinkin thrown in for when I want to do Sondheim or something.
