You folks don’t have to _guess_ what I sound like… my voice is on the Web for all to hear. Check out this link: [An Industry White Paper on Beer](http://216.148.241.173/saleslink/research/white/beer.html) I wrote this article, and at the top of it there’s a RealAudio icon you can click to hear the interview that goes with it. The first voice you hear is our audio guy, and then you get my rich hot-fudge baritone in all its toe-tingling glory. :rolleyes: I’m the guy interviewing Gary Hemphill. Hope the link works…let me know if there’s a password required or something. ---

With this user name, I’m afraid to ask you jokers what I sound like. What if I was still using BratMan007? Would that change the way I “sound” to anyone? ---

Doesn’t matter what your name is to me, Bratty Frog- You have always sounded like Lenny from the Simpsons. ---

I never thought my voice was particularly deep, but back in the days when I could afford to fly as a hobby, I was called “sir” more than once over the radio. I started out singing first soprano, and now I do a solid alto, and the occasional tenor \ I do find that when I’m nervous or uncomfortable, I revert to a squeeky “girlie” sort of tone, and I hate myself for that. I’m NOT a hesitant wuss, I just sound like one sometimes. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Turpentine \* > \*\*You have always sounded like Lenny from the Simpsons. \*\* ::sigh:: You don’t think I look like him too, do you? I don’t have a pic on the people pages yet, but there is one on me on my homepage. As for what I really sound like, I’m not sure how to describe my own voice. **Purplebear, evilbeth, and Shayna** have all heard me, so they could probably give a description of it. I never thought about how I sound too much. And **evilbeth** - I never once expected you to say “Duh” when we talked. **aha** - regardless of where he’s really from, I still hear him as David St Hubbins from _Spinal Tap_ **tatertot** - sounds like Kerri Shrug. Don’t ask why, she just does. **Girlbysea** - Scarlett O’Hara without the snobbiness in her voice. **Poysyn** - sounds just like that girl in all those dreams I had when I was in high school. **Coldfire** - Sounds like Roddy McDowell when he’s being fun. In the Pit he sounds like Malcolm McDowell in _A Clockwork Orange_ ---

I can live with sounding like Frank Morgan – don’t confuse him with Harry Morgan! The liner notes for Leo Kottke’s _6 & 12 String Guitar_ [(who?)](http://www.leokottke.com/index.html) had this comment about why the album was strictly instrumental: “Finally, consider Kottke’s voice, which sounds like geese farts on a muggy day”. His voice appears on subsequent recordings, but his latest release is titled _One Guitar, No Vocals_. ---

GuanoLad - really? try out a few words like - marvaloush and Bond, James Bond. I always thought UncleBeer sounded like Bruce Springsteen. Turpentine sounds like a farmer (english farmer) The other day I met someone who sounded EXACTLY like Keanu Reeves and I almost died trying to stop myself laughing. What do I sound like? ---

Chef Troy, your voice is funny. You sound so enthusiastic, to the point where it sounds like you’re faking sincerity. Anyone… anyone? Anyone… anyone? Do me! Oh, and don’t say I sound like that stupid skater kid from the movie Clueless. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sk8rixtx \* > \*\*Thats just sick Turp… \*\* Yes, i know. I didn’t think it was funny, either but it did have a surreal, sit-com like humour to it- if it didn’t happen to you, I guess. It made me cry and ruined my night, and following morning, carrying over up until right now and I still want to cry when i think about it. I thought it would help if I could release some of the repugnace by sharing my disgust with the world. Sorry. At least YOU don’t have to live with the guy. ---

My voice is apparently somewhat high pitched and child-like (but soft – not annoying). It sounds much deeper in my head. But one day not too long ago a telemarketer called and after I answered the phone, she asked, “Is your mum or dad there?” I was rather taken aback. “My mom or dad? Well, uhh… They actually live in a different country.” She was very embarrassed to learn I was the missus. I found it rather amusing, although I’m a little self-conscious now. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by sk8rixtx \* > **Chef Troy, your voice is funny. You sound so enthusiastic, to the point where it sounds like you’re faking sincerity.** Sk8tr, I WAS faking sincerity. Do you think I actually care about the premiumization of beer? :rolleyes: Actually, the reason my enthusiasm level rings false is that our audio guy had me re-record my questions to correct a problem. He asked me to punch it up (I think he went to the Gary Owens School of Voice Acting). All I have to say is SOMEBODY better get on here and say my voice sounds sexy or I’m going to have a major self-esteem attack.
