It wasn't the best in the world. Mr. M. just doesn't have a powerful enough voice to carry it off. It broke amd wavered and ruined the whole effect, IMO.
I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!

I didnt mind it, probably because I had such a crush on the character, but one of my brothers said the same as you, Wp. He said his voice was distractingly squeaky.

Oh dani, do confess! His voice was a bit nasely, but I thought the speech was fine.

The speech itself was great, Grimes, and yes, he does have a nasally voice. He speaks in the back of his throat.

I agree!

Seems to me he might have wrecked his voice from

1. chain smoking
   and
2. his flamenco singing.
   Just a theory, ofcourse. He might have always had a squeaky voice.

He does smoke a lot. I didn't know about his flamenco singing, LOL, what a hoot!

I like it but it's an acquired taste. People were abusing him on the LotR yahoo group years ago about his singing. The guy is mult talented.

Yes I hear he's a poet and a photographer as well. Good for him!

Renaissance man, like Mads Mikkelsen. Must be a viking thing. Those guys can do anything.

Yes,111c I do agree, and I do think Mads is from the same place as Viggo! I'm a big fan of both of them.

Mr. M. can do a lot of things but singing is surely not one of them, lol. His voice is weak and has no range.
I WILL NEVER GIVE UP!
