re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

The thread is about distinctive singing voices. Not singing voices you like to hear.

Carolee Carmello's voice has a very beautiful distinct quality to it. I just adore her.

re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

As far as voices that I could recognize in an instant..

Norbert Leo Butz
Anthony Rapp
Raul Esparza
Adam Pascal
Sherie Rene Scott
Kristin Chenoweth
Harvey Fierstein

The thread is about distinctive singing voices. Not singing voices you like to here.
Wouldn't the voices of people we like to hear be more distinctive to us than voices of other people we've never heard before, or don't listen to as much?

re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

I think Sherie has an INCREDIBLY distinct voice. Anthony Rapp as well. Shoshana's I could probably point out...and Linda Eder's I could point out. Sutton Foster's is also very unique.
This is my signature.

AHHHHH!


Sarah Brightman voice is certainly distinct. But wow, it is so annoying. And it has only gotten worse for any of you who saw the ALW Birthday celebration

re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

Just my opinion, but Sarah Brightman sounds like every other shreiky soprano.

Some more I forgot:

-Dorothy Loudon
-Christine Andreas
-Alix Korey
-Lillias White
-Madeline Kahn

LOVE Sarah Brightman, but I know I'm in the miniority there. I would say Julie Andrews, I don't think she has been mentioned. I don't know if its so much unique as just very recognizable for me. And also Joel Grey is pretty unique. I agree w/ Fierstein, Channing, Peters, Streisand, Merman, Kitt, Lupone, Chenoweth, Brightman and Lane.

re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

i cant believe no ones mentioned Julie Andrews --- and yea i agree with everyone else on most people.
#41

re: Distinct Broadway Voices?

Kristen Cheno
Idina Menzel
Adam Pascal
and of coarse..
Julie Andrews

The aforementioned Harvey Fierstein, Nathan Lane, and Kristin Chenowith PLUS Gwen Virdon, Chester Gregory (Seaweed in Hairspray till tomorrow, then Terk in the upcoming Tarzan) and Beth Leavel (most recent 42nd Street revival).
