Thom's voice

[jan 14]

One man whose voice I love is Alan Rickman (Snape in the Potter movies), but I have no idea if he can sing!

 

However, now that I think of it, his voice is too deep. I would imagine Thom to have a soft to mid-range voice...

I'v always thought Alan Rickman would be a better baddie, hes just that sort of actor

First I slap myself for double posting.

 

I used to think that Alan Rickman would be great as Ishamael. Perhaps I still do. He's always had that voice. The earliest production I've seen him in is BBC's Romeo and Juliet from the seventies. I think that he actually can sing, but I don't know when, or even if, I heard it.

 

Patrick Stewart? Does Thom sound like him, or has that already been suggested?

[Ekho 52]

i have heard suggestions as Patrick Stewart as Thom but i'v never been able to picture it...I mean can you imagine Patrick with a moustache?

[Brynefan 2]

Actually, no. Only the voice, remembering his duet with Data in Insurrection. Wasn't there supposed to be an animated The Eye of the World series or film before everything just crashed with the New Spring comic? He could have done Thom, then.

[Ekho 52]

Thats true, he would be a goon candidate for the voice, although I always imagined thom's voice to be slightly rougher

This made me think of Thom... Kittie found it *nods*

[Brynefan 2]

I couldn't make myself get past those la-la:s. Sorry.

 

Jeremy Brett would have been wonderful in the role, if he had been alive and healthy.

 

This is a rather dull interview, but it gives a good hint of how Brett worked and, most importantly, many different stages of his voice. The ultimate Thom?

Jeremy Brett would have been wonderful in the role, if he had been alive and healthy.

 

Jeremy Brett is dead?!

 

Am I out of touch or what...?

[Brynefan 2]

Sad to break the news. He died in 1995.

Thom sings good. It's not girly most of the time, but I can't stand high chant songs. He has a medium sort of voice, or one that you could hear going low or high. Ask Kesiera.
