Farah Alvin looks just like she sounds, at least to me. Completely gorgeous!
Also, I agree with the Shoshana comment. I thought the SAME thing about her being a big black lady!

Posted: 9/30/08 at 9:34amOh yeah, Shoshana too. The 2000 Off Bway Godspell recording is proof.

Yeah, he's not lip-synching

So, I saw a picture of Jeff McCarthy in "Side Show" for the first time today.
I always imagined him as short and very stocky with a square face and blond hair, I guess because I imagined him as Hugh Panaro's opposite. He looks totally unlike I thought he would.

Posted: 2/7/09 at 10:41pmI would say Julia Murney is a perfect example of this, because her voice sounds nothing like a horse.

Posted: 2/7/09 at 11:32pmWhen I heard James Anest as Emile de Becque in SOUTH PACIFIC several years ago his deep resonant voice seemed perfectly in line with his character. Imagine our surprise after the show when we met him backstage and out from the dressing room emerged this tall hunky guy who looked younger than the actor playing Lt. Cable in the show. Without the makeup and French accent, James did not look anything like his singing voice, which does not stop me from admiring his spectacular voice, arguably the best I have ever heard on the musical stage except perhaps James Barbour.

Shoshana Bean's voice is way too nasal for her to sound like a big black woman.
I think Idina Menzel sounds a lot like Nikka Costa sometimes, or vice versa. Listen to "Hope It Felt Good" on Nikka's first album. You can hear the resemblance.
And yes I, too, was surprised to see tall and lanky Barbour after hearing that gorgeous baritone voice.

LAUREN PRITCHARD!!!
I fell in love with her on the cast recording, then when BWW posted their show preview of Spring Awakening my mind was blown that such a soulful, deep voice was coming out of that pale, blue-eyed white girl.
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
