Whoa. I _swear_ I didn’t read **widdershin** ’s post before I posted. I guess **Eve** just has that kind of presence. ---

**Aesiron** has a deep, rumbling voice so he can be heard by all of us down here. **I** sound like coins tumbling from slot machines. **NoClueBoy** sounds like a blond version of Johnny Depp. **Tars Tarkas** sounds like a scientist who seems rational but isn’t quite… or is he?? ---

**NCB** sounds a psychotic John DeLancie **Vivalostwages** sounds like my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Akiona. I had the hugest crush on… er… uh… ahem. **Carnivorousplant** sounds like pro wrestler John Cena. **Kn\*ckers** sounds like she sucked down a helium balloon. **Tars Tarkas** sounds like Brent Spiner in ID4. **Wearia** sounds like a small child. I don’t know why either. **Meep! Meep!** ---

**Shibboleth** , I’ve decided sounds like Brian Blessed (but with a slight american accent) **"GORDons aLIVE?!"** ---

to me, **Alice In Wonderland** sounds like Drew Barrymore. (Must be the rack) ((And the slight lisp)) **Flamme** sounds like Kate Blanchett, because even though I now know what she looks like, I still see that redhead in the sundress when she posts. (Ever see _Bandits_?) ((BTW, IRL you are a cutie.) In 1983, I did a voice over in a commercial for Total Camera in Houston, TX. (I also scripted, directed, and filmed it) So, maybe you guys can go back in time to hear my real voice. FTR, I do have a nice Drawl… I just love the thought of **Aes** ’ guess with a Texas accent! ---

Scarily Drew barrymore is what **Alice in Wonderland** Sounds like to me too. And i didn’t even know she had a nice set of thrupennies! ---

You know how Barry Bonds is this big, impressive guy, but his voice sounds all high and mousy? That’s me. I can sing in a classically-trained tenor voice that’ll knock your socks off, but when I speak normal words, I just plain sound “nerdy” (and a tad nasally). ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by London\_Calling_ > Ding Dong … _and hel-lowwwwww !!_ Apparently _School For Scoundrels_ was on C4 yesterday lunchtime. Top quality. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by garius \* > **Everton** : A young Paul McCartney Hmm, not far off. I’ve got one of those chameleon voices that sounds a bit like the people I’m talking to, but if you drew a triangle with Macca at one corner, Steve McManaman at another and Matt Smith off _The Premiership_ at another my default voice would probably be somewhere in the middle. I tend to hear posters in the voices of people I know IRL, but “ **amanset** = my mate Geoff from Bedworth” won’t be much good to you will it? So I’ll try a few… **London\_Calling** = Paul Merton **Steve Wright** = erm, Steve Wright (not based on post content though) **Kal** = Frank Skinner **casdave** = Sean Bean, but West Yorks not South **jjimm** = Peter Davison **Francesca** = Susan Earl from _Hardware_ **ruadh** = Lauren Bacall **TwistofFate** = Dylan Moran **manwithaplan** = Ardal O’Hanlon (actually more like my mate Deco from Dublin) **yojimbo** = Ed Byrne **Aro** = James Nesbitt **woolly** = Mark Taylor, the ex-Aussie cricket captain and **garius** = Gareth Keenan, but only because of [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=144280) I’m sure you’ll set me straight on the ones I’ve got wrong, and I’ll be back when I’ve thought of some more. ---

Oh and **jjimm** singing Irish rebel songs in his best Irish accent is one of the funniest things I’ve heard 😃 ---
