When Rosie Perez gets her full Bronx on, I wonder how I could crush so hard on someone who sounds like that. She was on some talk show and telling a story that involved a car called an Isuzu Trooper, and the host made her stop and say it a bunch of times because it was so Rosie Perez it was hilarious.
Then I go back watch YouTube clips of Rosie dancing in the Soul Train line - damn. She pretty much defines Fierce.
“What an excellent day for an exorcism.”
It’s uncanny.
Heidi Klum sounds like she’s on helium. I can’t stand to listen to her.
Well, Lorraine Bracco was a model for a long time before she ever tried acting.
Does it for me, moreso than most of the women mentioned in this thread.
I’m sure you can’t be the only person in the world that holds this opinion but your’re the first I’ve ever heard express it. The woman captivates me (Shohreh, not Tress).
Fran Drescher’s standard response to “Is that your real voice?” is “Please. Who would make this up?”
Her ex-husband Peter Marc Jacobs described her as having “a body out of Vogue and a voice like Selma Diamond.”
Singer Paloma Faith can belt with the best of them but talks like a precocious toddler. It’s both baffling and extremely irritating.
TV presenter June Sarpong notoriously speaks like a rusty gate squeaking.
I’ll bet you really hate “Rizzoli and Isles.”
Some of us like that gravel-quality voice, then Angie Harmon purrs, THEN Sasha A. brings it back around.
JFK, jr. Dashing in every single way. . . till he speaks. Very nasally.
I love Sasha. NCIS was never the same without her.
I think she is using a weird tone in that scene. She should be able to purr like a kitten in a romantic moment; she could melt you, imo.
I wasn’t a huge watcher of either show; liked her character on R&I better, but though she looked better as a brunette.
I love Angie Harmon’s voice and wish I had a touch of that in my own voice. I have a slightly breathy quality to my voice. It’s annoying.
Damn… scooped on both of my picks.
She did have that confident/sassy demeanor that said, Yeah, Gibbs? Whatcha gonna do, beat me up? that the later female characters were lacking. The men knew that Jethro would just take them into the elevator and clean their clocks.
A fellow Doper, a while back, clued me into Sasha’s appearances on, “Shameless.”*Highly recommended (Thank you, fellow SDMBer, whoever you are.)

Exchange I once had with a Minnesotan:
When someone talks like you in Minnesota, we look to see if they have a mouth.
When someone talks like you in New England, we look to see if they have a nose.
Melissa Rauch. Not so much beautiful as cute, but the squeaky voice of Bernadette gets annoying.
I wonder if I would see her has prettier if I saw her speaking in her normal voice without the geek-girl getup from the show.
