hi studs,
Lately I have been recording my voice a lot, and I want to step up my voice practice and really get those voice fundamentals nailed.
However a problem I have been having is not really knowing what I want to sound like. So I want to follow a process of speaking from a script into a microphone, listening to how I sound like, and then comparing with some other actor/etc reading from the same script.
Apparently George Clooney is the go-to and I have also listened to Brad Pitt, uhh, Will Arnett, Alec Baldwin... and there are plenty of websites/blogs with random women's opinions of top 10 sexy voices etc... (although I'm doubtful when Aaron Paul/Jesse Pinkman makes it onto the list hahaha).
But to make things more difficult I want to do this in an Australian accent. I've been searching for sexy Aussie accents, and I want to get opinions on these:
My ideal voice so far, I think a newsreader style is the best for normal conversation, I guess I would go a bit huskier and deeper to turn it sexual?
Newreader Ben Fajzullin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OTEIM-RKlo listen from the start
Another good voice, but a younger and more casual style that might be incongruent with my age and fashion:
Actor Chace Crawford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0MZydkEUyA listen from 1:00.
This guy has an unusually deep voice to my ear, maybe not that authoritative or sexy but it's still a contender:
Voiceover artist "The fun pro": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K1Xuz3kycA listen from the start for his normal style or 1:00 for outback style, he has some other accents too (may be amusing for those who haven't been to Aussie yet).
And finally this guy has a good voice in many respects, but I rejected it because I think it's too high pitched:
Voiceover artist Andy Collins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl5WB--M780 listen from the start.
I'd be interested to hear if you guys are on the same page with my conclusions above, and any other thoughts or suggestions you might have.
cheers, Ray
