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.

Posted: 9/30/08 at 11:24amKathy Brier has this amazing voice. Did not realize it was the same girl on One Life to Live.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Jim Nabors!
Yeah, he's not lip-synching
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

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.
I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

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.
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"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
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"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
