Which celebrities would you say don't look like what you would think they would if you just heard their voice alone?

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 03/05/2019 22:17

Mike tyson

raisinsraisins · 03/05/2019 22:20

Freddie Mercury’s speaking voice.

Still18atheart · 03/05/2019 22:20

Steve Wright and Ken Bruce actually most radio people incl the cast of the archers

AintNobodyHereButUsReindeer · 03/05/2019 22:22

I came on to say George Ezra Grin First time I heard him sing I pictured him as Morgan Freeman type looking guy, was totally shocked when I saw what he really looks like!

ErrolTheDragon · 03/05/2019 22:23

I was about to say a lot of The Archers cast too, and David Beckham.

(I'd never heard of George Ezra)

Joe pasquale

MorrisZapp · 03/05/2019 22:30

Ken Bruce

I googled his image once and just felt weird and deflated.

Reasonstobeearful · 03/05/2019 22:33

Megan traynor
Definitely George Ezra and Rick Astley
Mick hucknall actually has a good soul voice but looks like he works in a butcher shop

Aldicheckoutworkout · 03/05/2019 22:34

In the same vein as George Ezra, Paulo Nuttini. Also Adeles speaking voice doesn't match her singing voice

raisinsraisins · 03/05/2019 22:35

When I was a student I loved the music of the group Supertramp, but they looked nothing at all like I expected.

paolo

DM1209 · 03/05/2019 22:38

Ed Sheeran!

DM1209 · 03/05/2019 22:39

Edit: Ed Sheeran's singing voice. I've never heard him speak

Heratnumber7 · 03/05/2019 22:49

The singer who wore the mest dress. Can't remember her name.

poundoflard · 03/05/2019 22:50

Another is Richard Ayoade
I think he and George Ezra swapped voices

NigellasGuest · 03/05/2019 22:52

Miriam Margoyles

Longdistance · 03/05/2019 22:58

Jodie Comer with her strong Liverpudlian accent. I nearly fainted at that one. She does an amazing Russian accent. She’s one to watch career wise.

Exploration2018 · 03/05/2019 23:01

Myley Cyrus

bellajay · 03/05/2019 23:03

I heard Judy Murray on radio 2 today and she was much more softly spoken than I thought

poundoflard · 03/05/2019 23:06

Miriam Margoyles is the voice of the cadburys caramel bunny.
Bet that wasn't who you would have thought!

PissOffPeppa · 03/05/2019 23:52

George Ezra was the first person I thought of when I saw the thread title.

IronMaggie · 04/05/2019 00:01

Harry Kane!

lotusbell · 04/05/2019 00:06

@poundoflard, that strange but true davt sounds familiar now you mention it and I heard Judt Murray today and agree - I expected her to sound quite hoarse and screech, she sounds lovely

lotusbell · 04/05/2019 00:06

Harsh and screechy, not hoarse!
