People whose voices don't match what they look like.

I was watching 'Heat' there a few weeks back, and the actor Tom Noonan was in it for a bit. He's a very large man with an impressive beard, but he has the most gentle voice. I think that he's great at what he does, but the voice seems a mismatch for his fearsome appearance, especially considering that he often plays villains.

And then there's Frank Black. He's not very tall and a bit overweight, but he has the powerful voice of a younger man. The voice just doesn't seem to fit the body.

Any other examples?

I'd definitely fit into that category.

Yeah so do I.

The Tom Noonan category or the Frank Black category?

Paul O Connell. Looks like he should sound like a demented dragon but has a very soft voice

Liz Fraser. Sounds like a faerie blackbird. Looks like a woman you wouldn't notice sitting beside you on the bus.

In a way, his Giftgrub persona almost suits him more. :pac:

She was quite good looking when she was younger.

I always thought Tyson's voice was kinda menacing.

She's still good looking, in a shy kind of way - her voice made me think she was made out of gossamer, gold and Gothic stained glass though.

He has a lisp and a soft, high-pitched voice, but he is one hell of scary dude.

If you are easily offended, don't watch this video.

Beckham should sound like Jason Statham, but he doesn't. He sounds like a small boy.

I'd say I'm a Tom Noonan too. Really do not like my voice.

Don't get me wrong. I think that Tom Noonan has a very calm, pleasant voice. It's just that he looks like the Unabomber and he has the voice of a mild mannered engineer. His voice is so quietly self assured that it demands your attention when he speaks.

Oh, that's appalling! It was awful. But the guy's hysterical laughter was so infectious, I have to admit that I actually laughed every time that he did.

wotzgoingon · 04-05-2014 12:05PM

This guy hands down. His voice does not go with his image. Maybe because I'm Irish and not Austrailian. I don't know what rough Aussies sound like.

It's not real, it's an old comedy sketch from a Flemish TV show
