GW4S, I'm pretty convinced that you need to assign the voices to what you read just to keep them otherwise occupied.

In some of BlueDog's comments I hear Alec Baldwin's character from Glengarry Glen Ross.
"Put the coffee down - coffee is for closers only".

That is a classic movie denis and Baldwin almost stole that movie with a 10 minute appearance. Great actors in that movie in Jack Lemon, Alan Arkin, Al Pacino, Kevin Spacey, Ed Harris and Baldwin.

From another movie Fargo where they have those strange quasi-Canadien accents - you know where they say things like eh? and so forth. I also wondered if Julie may sound a wee-bit like that being from a similar northern region of the country? Julie will probably kill me now The actress Francis McDermond won an academy award for that role I believe.

You know who TR sounds like in real life to me? Deniro.

Strange...

When I post I think I sound like James Earl Jones...

When MS. 44 reads my post she says they sound like Herman Munster...

How can that be?

.

Who is Dr Phil?

I talk a little like Dan Ackroyd.
I sing a little like Willie Nelson.
I write (at least sound-wise) a little like Rodney Dangerfield.
I look like (according to my wife) a little like ... Quasimoto.

Or do I have these backwards?

TR's voice is a dead ringer for Luca Brasi.

LOL

.
Reviewing the body of The Wood Man's work I am not sure we can pin him down to a single voice....

More like choir...

No man can be in all those places at once!

What's that Voice No. 38? "ZZZIIINNNNNGGGGGG." That's a good one...a close one..yet a friendly one!

Its funny I really hadn't assigned voices here before but now I know I will. I always do that when I am reading a novel though, not only a voice but usually a character I think would be good playing the role. If they do make the movie and the character doesn't match the one I had in my mind it ruins the movie most of the time.

So now for all you ladies out there. I don't care who you think I might sound like but suggest you be thinking George Clooney if you need to picture this author.

That is a classic line -

I can almost hear the Fargo lilt when I think of MnMom. But more often, when I read a Momma Julie post, it's Barbara Billingsly's voice that comes through (June Cleaver).

"You boys play nice."

...and as for Woody...

Robin Williams.

Whatever gets posted, he picks it up and runs with it. ...you never know which direction, or the destination, but it's usually a fun ride.

FLHokie, That's funny! I can just close my eyes and hear MN-Mom say "Ward, have you seen the Beaver?"

Much like June did with the Cleavers, MN-Mom brings stability to the HSBBW family.

It is fun to put voices to words... sometimes I hear soundtracks as well... "Glory Days" by Springsteen seems to be a favorite.

PGStaff... That's gotta be either Fred McMurray ("...just do your best Ernie...") or Robert Young as Jim Anderson in Father Knows Best.

Walk a mile in my brain and find out how it's done. It's cavernous and mostly empty...you can get a good vigorous walk done in there without the worry of running into anything.

The Wood Man...

as Robin Williams?

Simply Brilliant. Both you, The Wood man and Williams.

Not sure who it is butI keep hearing Foghorn Leghorn.

I say, I say, That's a joke son.

I've got Wood as the father on The Family Guy.

Foghorn Leghorn! YES!! Me, too, but I can't remember who 'sounds' like that to me.....I think it was the Bama Bomber.

I had PGStaff as Atticus Finch until I heard him speak on the SHOWCASE dvd.

How many of you are shocked by hearing your own voice in a recording? I can't believe I can get through life with the voice I hear on tape. Who IS that person?!?

Not too far off really. I've got that non-descript Oregonian Quahog silt!!!

I've been told I have a radio voice, my dad always said I had a face made for radio, and I always thought when hearing it recorded that I should get ready make a 911 call and report a very scary noise.

No clue who I sound like but I'm sure most of you would cringe at my, CD's, Bee's, IB's and other North Coaster's Nasal "A". I don't hear it but I know others from around the country "You don't have an accent except for that A thing".

This thread is funny though. I'm not sure if I ever hear voices. I think I'm more visual and picture what the people probably look like.

Laf - You know my thoughts on "accents"..... Fran Drescher's voice is a killer but she aint too shabby looking. Fran with a southern accent? Hmmmm....

Who is Atticus Finch?

Before meeting Tom Rizzi, his writing reminded me of Dickie V. (Dick Vitale) Is that a compliment?

Betta getta tee-oh babee.

Atticus Finch? He was either the Birdman of Alcatraz or the lawyer defending the black man in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Both very good characters PG...don't worry!

Wow FH...that's good!

To me they all take on a WOPR tone...shall we play a game.

WOPR? Radio station? Ohio Public Radio?

How is this game played Ramrod?

I did a Google search on WOPR...not my kind of game...just like Ohio Public Radio is not my type of station.

Carry on.

PG -- Atticus Finch was oplayed by Gregory Peck in To Kill A Mockingbird. He's one of the sturdiest male role models of all time!!

Krak,

That's definitely not me then! Am a male (last time I looked) but not sturdy and for sure, not all that great a role model!

Beez - I have nothing in common with Fran - sorry!

PG Staff - All us UK fans think Dickie V is a great guy!!! I can see some resemblence with their thoughts!

But I bet you could kill a rabid dog coming down the street with a single shot!!

You are very close. Mix in a little bespectacled Fred McMurray and you are there.

Bullwinkle is Adam Sandler defintly
