Most expressive voice?

Posted: 3/31/05 at 6:39pm

I don't think we've had a thread like this.
Who do you guys think has/have the most expressive voice(s)?

Two I can think of now:
Daphne Rubin-Vega
Sutton Foster

Not to be stereotypical, but the amount of emotion Adam Pascal puts into his voice is ridiculous.

And Bernadette Peters, of course.

kristin chenoweth is limited in the emotions she can show, but the ones she can i think she does very well.

I think Idina Menzel has a really expressive voice.

"Why do we play with fire?-Why do we run our fingers through the flame?"

I agree with all the ones mentioned, but I really think Daphne has SUCH an expressive voice. On the RENT OBCR, it's really moving and really obvious as to what emotions she is portraying.
I definitely agree about Adam!

Judy Garland and Bernadette Peters are all I can think of right now.

Norbert Leo Butz. He can make you laugh out loud or bring you to tears just with his amazing voice.

Oh, Judy Garland...wow! She was in a class all her own, always will be.

As for people currently on Broadway, I'd say Rachel York.

Donna Murphy's unique, idiosyncratic voice.

LEA SALONGA came to my mind right away

But honorable mentions:

Bernadette was the first one who came to mind. She infuses her emotion into every lyric that comes out of her mouth.

Hannah - good call! I forgot about Rachel York, add her to my list.

Voting for Adam, obviously. Not as THE most, because that's probably silly, but as one of the most. He does his best acting through music, and like Lael said, the amount of emotion that goes into his vocals and his body language when he sings is... well, ridiculous.

A work of art is an invitation to love.

OOOOO, Audra McDonald. I forgot about her.

I think a few of the people listed here do one or two emotions- say, angry and angsty- really well, but not much else. But it's all subjective, so whatever. :)

A few who came to mind for me:
Julie Andrews
Barbara Cook
Rachel York
Bernadette Peters
Elaine Stritch
Joanna Gleason
