Singers that sound just like they talk and those that sound different than they talk

Johnny Mathis. Always sounded COMPLETELY different when he talked and when he sang.

Jim Nabors. When he talked he always sounded like Gomer Pyle. He sings with a near-operatic quality voice.

Mick Jagger: When he talks he sounds like a working-class Brit. When he sings he sounds like an American from the South.

Lady Gaga sounds the same when she sings and talks but only when she sings lower notes...when she goes higher her singing voice has a totally different tone, much more rich and full.

 

Florence Welch (Florence & the Machine) speaks in a soft, almost meek voice...but when she sings it's very strong and robust. Almost strident.

I like to listen to Japanese music.

 

One of my favorite artists is an enka (kind of a japanese

version of the blues with sad stories about love) singer.

 

Her name is Moriyama Aiko.

Her speaking voice and singing voice are very different.

 

Speaking voice (yes, that is how she actually speaks):

Singing Voice (that is her singing, even though it's a karaoke video):

That may be how she *chooses* to speak but from first hand experience I can tell you that this is a cultural affectation of Asian girls. On any given day, over the cubicle wall I can hear my female Chinese co-worker shifting in and out of this voice on the phone depending on who she is speaking too - its actually pretty eerie.

I think my singing and talking sound...moderately different, but similar enough that you can tell it's the same person.

 

Talking:

(Lawl, don't mind the rambling. I was just-waking-up and ultra-excited-about-the-new-guitar-that-just-got-there-10-minutes-before-that-video.)

 

Singing:
