20 Celebrities With The Most Recognizable Voices, According To These Redditors

One of the most important qualities in actors is their voice. In a way, it steers their careers.

Some legendary movie stars are recognized for their deep or high-pitched and humorous voices and have worked in voiceovers, live-action roles, and animation. Several of Hollywood's most well-known performers rose to prominence because of their distinctive voices.

For example, James Earl Jones possesses a silky, deep voice that has landed him employment as a narrator and voice actor. In fact, in 2019, the older A-lister played Mufasa in the live-action adaptation of The Lion King.

Other excellent actors use their melodious vocals to carry entire films, such as Scarlett Johansson in Her, or portray cartoon characters, such as Tom Hanks' Woody. There are two types of famous voice actors: those who get jobs because they have a single, incredibly recognizable voice and those who get jobs because they can perform any voice.

And you may be surprised when you hear what they actually sound like in real life. A Redditor going by the name u/pokeboy626 asked, “Which celebrity voices are instantly recognizable?”
