Who's your voice?

Posted on June 30, 2010 with 2 comments
Today I had a thought completely unrelated to music. It came about when I was strategizing ways to generate more of a buzz for my music, but I simply got distracted and hopped on an entirely different train. This thought, though not completely original, had to be shared with an audience and discussed.

If someone were to narrate your life (in real time), who would it be?

Mine, strangely enough, is Daniel Stern's voice, the narrator of Kevin Arnold's life (Fred Savage) in The Wonder Years. (I tried to insert a fun video clip here but it looks like copyright matters have prevented YouTube from sharing the love).
Why is it that when I have inner monologue, it's never narrated by my own voice?
In fact, why isn't it even a woman's voice? Ha!

So now you tell me who would narrate your life and, if you so please, why...and I promise someday, somehow, I'll relate this back to music.

xoxo,
Shanna

Mine is Kate Winslet.. her accent is a little bit posh yet still very sincere... she's funny, has a strong sense of self awareness. My budget, however, would probably provide me with my runner up...Kirstie Alley because, well, shes awesome and she loves pies.

I have to think my life would be narrated by someone interesting and funny. I have 3 names, all for different reasons -
Lewis Black - Funny, political, loud, brash, and of course, awesome voice.
George Clooney - Cool, political, funny, talented, awesome voice.
and finally, I think this is really the one -
Robert Downey Jr. - His narration of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang being the single best reason.
