20 Celebrities With The Most Recognizable Voices, According To These Redditors
One of the most important qualities in actors is their voice. In a way, it steers their career.
Some legendary movie stars are recognized for their deep or high-pitched and funny voices and have worked in voiceovers, live-action roles, and animation. Several of Hollywood's most well-known performers rose to prominence because of their distinctive voices.
For example, James Earl Jones possesses a silky and deep voice that has landed him employment as a narrator and voice actor. In fact, in 2019, the older A-lister will play Mufasa in the live-action adaptation of The Lion King.
Other excellent actors use their melodious vocals to carry entire films, such as Scarlett Johansson's Her, or portray cartoon voices, such as Tom Hanks' Woody. There are two types of famous voice actors - the ones that get jobs because they have a single, incredibly recognizable voice and those that get jobs because they can do any voice.
