So which ST character do you think had the best voice?

[irons0]

Seven Of Nine!

You beat me to it. And she sang like an angel.

I watched a couple of Voyager episodes the other day. I think one of the best voices in ST is Kes. She has a nice voice.

Picard. Patrick Stewart is brilliant.

I have a Diamond Select Enterprise E that plays First Contact sound clips. Yesterday I pressed the button as I was walking past.

I got this...

Picard: "Fire quantum torpedoes."

No one, and I mean no one, can say "torpedo" like Patrick Stewart.

 

[wulfio]

I always liked Jeffrey Combs cadence.

 

[Karzak]

Picard. There is no contest.

 

[Mojochi]

There is something very potent about Marc Alaimo's voice as any of his characters. I'd put him up there too

 

[CorporalCaptain]

William Shatner ("Space: the final frontier....")
Leonard Nimoy ("Pure energy," etc.)

I watch Star Trek episodes in the original English only on rare occations. I'm used to the German voice-actors. As I mentioned elsewhere, they often don't match the original actor's voices. Quite impressive for me are Sisko and Worf....

I bought my dvds when I was working over there, so they default to German if I forget to change the language. Maybe I'm just used to what I grew up with but I can't get past the lack of gravitas in the German Picard's voice.

Well, that and my German is nowhere near as good as it used to be as I haven't used it for about 10 years.

Worf just for the part in this where he yells "You!"

In Picard's case you're right. But I like Jeffrey Comb's German voice as Weyoun. He has the same as Shran and a different voice as Brunt. All of them fit to the characters. Udo Schenk does the dubbing for Jeffrey Combs and Gary Oldman, that's why Gary Oldman sometimes sounds like Weyoun (in the case of Air Force One with a Russian accent....).

Shame Udo didn't voice Odo...

 

[Kilana2]

Shame Udo didn't voice Odo...

In Family Matters Barry Jenner (well-known as Admiral Ross) had Odo's voice-actor. So Jenner had another voice-actor in DS9

Udo as Odo wouldn't fit. Udo Schenk is better suited for villains.

 

[Chronos]

Spock. No contest.

 

[LadyT'Anna]

Spock. No contest.

Chronos: Seconded. What a voice Leonard Nimoy had. Wow.

I submit that Mark Lenard, as Spock or otherwise, takes a very respectable second place.

 

[Bagofmostlywatr]

Shame Udo didn't voice Odo...

Kilana doesn't like the idea, but you do and I do, so they should have had udo as odo

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Spock. No contest.

Chronos: Seconded. What a voice Leonard Nimoy had. Wow.

I would add that Mark Lenard, as Spock or otherwise, takes a very respectable second place--in my estimation, anyway.

I've always loved Mark Lenard's Sarek voice.

 

[Kilana2]

Shame Udo didn't voice Odo...

Kilana doesn't like the idea, but you do and I do, so they should have had udo as odo

Yelgrun had the voice-actor of Dr. House...... So, nothing is impossible....

 

[LadyT'Anna]

Shame Udo didn't voice Odo...

Kilana doesn't like the idea, but you do and I do, so they should have had udo as odo

? What was wrong with Odo's voice, may one ask? I have to say, I'm on Kilana2's side of the fence here . . .

Also, martok2112, how would you define a characterized voice?

 

[Chen]

I'm shooting with Ben Sisko. Half of his gravitas was in that voice!

 

[LadyT'Anna]

Okay, you've sold me, Chen; Sisko is now on my top ten list of Trek vocal favorites, particularly because of how he pronounces "Cardassian" and "pursuit."

Oh, and I seem to remember he can sing.
