hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at 10
faces behind the most famous voices so there are some voices we hear every day
and all no but despite these voices being super famous we wouldn't know it
if we walked past the people with the voices in the street from the you've got
male voice to Siri check out the unknown faces behind these very famous voices
but first why not subscribe and press the notification bell - coming in at
number 10 we have you've got mail so depending on how old you are I'm sure
you once have an AOL account while it's not used very often now it used to be
the most popular email service in the world and we all know the popular
message you've got mail you've got mail this is exactly what you would hear when
you log in and check your emails now some people think this is a professional
voice over and a few people even thought this was a robot voice but snow the
message is actually recorded by guy named Elwood Edwards and there's a
pretty funny story behind the message his wife Karen work today well I was
working on the new AOL software she then suggested adding a voice to the software
and she volunteered her husband Elwood's the recording was far from professional
and was done on a cassette tape in his living room that was where he recorded
phrases like you've got mail welcome and goodbye the crazy thing is we all know
this phrase but who knew it had such a candid story behind it he probably
assumed they hired some guy but no it was simply the husband of an AOL worker
and apparently even today Elwood still gets people coming up to him asking him
to say the famous phrase here's a clip of him saying two phrase with his face
you've got mail next up is in a world so we all know those epic voices in movie
trailers they all start off something like this in a world one man and one dog
but who's actually behind that voice well the man's name is Don LaFontaine
he's incredibly famous in the movie business but many people don't know him
he's recorded thousands of movie trailers and despite those recordings
only taking a few minutes he was paid millions for them this is because he had
such a famous and unique voice nowadays other people can imitate it but he was
the one that came up with a deep epic voice sadly he passed away in 2008 but
his memory lives on I'm sure if you watch a movie trailer
now they'll still have people trying to emulate Don LaFontaine voice but it will
never be as good as the original of tradition in a city where anything
can happen every day in New York City a Miami police force in the deep south
next up is Siri so if you have an iPhone chances are you have Siri now you may
not use it often but everybody knows the voice what's my name
I don't know who you are great my own Siri doesn't even know me but anyway the
original American voice was recorded by Susan Bennett she did this in 2005 and
she was simply asked to say a lot of words however she didn't know it but
eventually be used for Siri this is because Apple was building up to release
Sri and didn't wanted to get leaked Apple actually had hundreds of
candidates to become Siri and every candidate had to record hundreds of
hours of speech in different personalities and expressions this is
because Siri is pot AI in part human but how cool is it that Susan pennant is the
actual real theory just imagine everyone hearing your voice
on their phone I'm not sure if that's cool or creepy
hello I am Susan Bennett you probably know me I'm the voice actor who provided
the voice coming up next is Cleveland Brown so I'm not gonna put too many
cartoon characters on this list but I thought Cleveland Brown was pretty
interesting especially when you see who plays here we all know that Cleveland
Brown from Family Guy in the Cleveland choice speaks in a very specific way
it's kind of a nasally southern sounding voice and the guy is black what'd you
say jr. you think you're a tough guy now no that's it let's see you try to hit me
when I got my dukes up but he may be surprised to learn that the man behind
Cleveland Mike Henry is a white guy he actually met Family Guy creator Seth
MacFarlane at college they kept in touch and eventually he became the voice of
Cleveland he's also the voice of old man Herbert
and Consuela as now he features in major movies and TV shows including the
Orville but it's pretty interesting how he can pull off such an amazing voice
and he says many people simply don't believe he is Cleveland until he does
the voice the network asks is Peter gonna have enough in American friends
a kind of hitching around in a room based on this guy that I have wants to
play basketball with Shannon Oh Bree next up is phone lady so no matter who
you are you must have heard this you know that voice that plays whenever you
use the phone well guess what somebody actually had to record that one day
years ago well in the early 1960s a woman named Jane Bob actually recorded
all of these voices including the most famous phrase if you'd like to make a
call please hang up and try again these were called permanent signal
recordings and are heard by millions of Americans every day they're according to
so good and her voice is so clear that they still use today let me know if you
recognize her voice hang up and then dial the operator this is a recording
next up is Tony the Tiger so we all like the frosted flakes mascot Tony the Tiger
and his iconic catchphrase they're great okay I can't do it that
well but a guy who can is Phil Ravenscroft that is because he is the
man behind tony the tiger he's been the voice for decades but the
interesting thing is he's known for many other things he's actually the one who
signed you're a mean one mr. Grinch however his name was accidentally left
out of the credits this means his best-known song is actually uncredited
before he passed away in 2005 he did many other adverts and songs but
nobody's ever going to forget his iconic voice of Tony the Tiger one day the
choir director said hey they're auditioning studio singers at Paramount
why don't you have it next stop is the Geico gecko so this one is incredibly
surprising we all know in the Geico ads there's a British gecko he's usually
very friendly and seems like a man's man or rather Akiko's gecko but anyway who
is the man behind the voice well it's actually a guy called Jake wood who I'm
sure a lot of British people will recognize Jake would actually stars in a
very popular soap opera in Britain named EastEnders he plays a character called
max browning who has a similar voice to the Geico gecko the surprising thing is
he's a very well-known voice in America and a very well-known face in the UK so
let's me know if you know Jake woods face voice or both but I think no I
think he's fine - tannerite was very generous in the way that you wrote her I
don't think anyone was given big chunks of dialogue yeah
I think that they they'd probably you know had it in mind that it was like
next up is Bart Simpson so we all know that Bart Simpson is a 10
year old boy that is why it may surprise you to hear that a 60 year old woman
plays Bart it's actually not uncommon for women to play young boys this is
because they can make their voices sound high no matter what age they get to the
Simpsons has been going on for decades so if they started with a 10 year old
he'd be like 40 years old now the woman is named Nancy Cartwright and she's
played Bart in every single episode of The Simpsons she also does the voices
for Nelson Muntz Ralph Wiggum Todd Flanders Kearney and many more and she
owns around 250,000 dollars every episode so does it surprise you that
Bart is really a girl it sure did take me surprise when I first learned this I
have an announcement to make I'm bored you think your next up is
Looney Tunes so if this isn't just one voice but I had to include it in the
list because this guy plays so many amazing and different characters we all
know that Looney Tunes has ridiculous voices from the stuttering peak to the
wiseguy rabbits but who is the man behind the voices well it's actually a
man named Mel Blanc he played Bugs Bunny Daffy Duck Porky
Pig Tweety Bird Sylvester the cat and many more he pretty much did every
character voice and noise on Looney Tunes and his nickname is the man of a
thousand voices he passed away in 1989 and since then Warner Bros has got other
people to replicate his voice but no one can compare to the man of a thousand
voices it's pretty amazing that one man can have such a great range to do all of
these voices but Mel managed it and he's gone down as a legend ever since
