Lead singers who sound nothing like their speaking voice

Post by ParaDime77 »

Mike Tramp - Up in till 7-8 years ago did I actually discover Mike had a distinct Danish accent. Not a clue.

Jimi Jamison - Had zero idea Jimi was from Tupelo Mississippi and sounded dang near like Elvis Presley. His southern drawl and unique southern charm was something to wrap my head around. I had always figured he was from Chicago where the band was derived from. His singing voice has zero inclination of any southern drawl. Amazing.

Axl definitely had a wide range - But, I think It's So Easy's low baritone does sound like his speaking voice.

Phil Lewis. Considering his speaking voice, you would think he sang like Boy George.
