My bad, I copied it, but did not realize it will look like you posted it without any "copied by" note. Sorry about that.How did my message from another thread get here
I do love that deeper speaking voice!
Oh that's a slightly different discussion haha, that really only applies to his singing voice! All I'll say for now (to not derail too much) is that some people with deeper speaking voices can still have fairly high singing voices (or the other way around, although that's more rare), so it doesn't always say everything.well, there is some technical discussion going on on other threads about baritones, tenor and what not. I don't care what he is doing with his voice, but its working
All of this. Bc I don't do 'fan' stuff there is often quite a lot of stuff that just baffles me. And the endless, ongoing hoo-ha over Michael's speaking voice just ... I dunno. I don't understand it.I do love that deeper speaking voice!
But in my opinion, I think the main reason he often talked in a softer, slightly higher voice was at least in part due to shyness rather than "faking" anything. I'm not 100% sure on that of course, and I can't confirm it either way, but the truth is that Michael was a rather shy individual, he even took anxiety meds which is saying a lot. And speaking from my own struggles with it, I have a tendency to do the same thing, which is why I have this opinion. Then again, honestly even if he was "faking" anything, I wouldn't really care either way.
At the same time, people treat his deeper speaking voice as if it's some sort of undiscovered, shocking secret, which utterly baffles me LOL because it's out there, as we can see. And I've known about it for quite some time already. I do agree that many people tend to over-exaggerate Michael's higher voice in imitations of him though, then again they do that with everything he does so it's also not entirely surprising.
Funnily enough, I consider myself a pretty big fan, but I don't get it either! People are just utterly obsessed with this sorta thing. It's the type of stuff I usually don't even consider until others bring it up for the first time.
I do think his speaking voice deepened somewhat over time, but it was at least in part because he got older. I'm not sure which interview you're talking about admittedly, I have yet to see them all. Perhaps you could be right though.
LOL this is so true! They always pretend as if he sounded like some effeminate gay man or whatever, which isn't actually how he talked at all. He was soft-spoken yes, but he lacked the stereotypical mannerisms. Obviously he also wasn't gay anyway, but even that aside, it's just not what he sounded like.
Well, why not both? Lol. I just really love his voice in general.
He got them tattooed I believe.
you mean lipstick?
I wasn't explaining myself properly. Michael's fans know a lot about him and some of that stuff I do know but I ignore it or just forget about it. And some of it, I think my brain filters it out before it has a chance to register with me. I always knew his voice was a thing but didn't realise just how much of a 'thing' it is until recent years. I never used to do my Michaeling online but in the last few years that has changed - no idea why, weird - and I watch videos, for example, which I never used to do. Videos of peeps talking about Michael. I never bothered before. So people doing the imitation voice thing, I just hadn't realised how big of a thing it is and how obsessed people are with his voice.
They are. I don't understand it.
Same.
Exactly. His voice did change somewhat as it does for all of us, women as well as men. In his 20's he sounds exactly like he's supposed to - a young man in his 20's. But the 'high' voice thing that everyone goes on about? Nah, it's just nonsense, imo.
I've just tagged you twice on another thread where the video is posted. That's if you're interested, of course. No probs if not.
His voice was soft and gentle and he maintained a moderate tone when he spoke. He doesn't get emotional in interviews. You won't detect much in the way of excitement, anger, irritation, boredom, exhaustion in his voice. He's very contained, very polite, very thoughtful. His voice is fairly quiet and very melodius (sp?) but high pitched? I'm not hearing that. Even in TII where he has to point out to the band that they are not quite there yet, he's not feeling the groove, he is very low key the way he says it.
Both, for sure! What I meant was, many singers have great speaking voices, imo. But there are not many where I would almost rather hear them speak than sing. Jimi Hendrix, for sure. I'm too tired to drag myself over to the 'Heresy' thread so I'm just gonna say it here. I would take Jimi's speaking voice ahead of Michael any day. But, apart from that, I can't think of any other singer that I love where, when I listen to them speak, it's so completely fulfilling I feel as if I don't need anything else. One of my fave snippets is Groove of Midnight bc it's equal parts Michael speaking and singing. Bliss!Well, why not both? Lol. I just really love his voice in general.
