Julia Roberts and Katie Kouric?
They have nice voices, but not that great. Jeames Earl Jones and Sean Connery have great distinctive voices. WHen you hear a James Earl Jones voiceover on a commercial, you know it's him. But I don't think I'd be able to tell Juila's voice just by hearing it.
What about Harvey Firestein? His voice is horrible!
MBFTfan 09-17-2002, 02:01 AM I think Gilbert Gottfried should have been number one, his voice is much more annoying than the other four.
Jordan 09-21-2002, 05:14 PM I love Fran's voice. Furthermore, I also like Joan River's voice! :)
Christopher 09-27-2002, 09:59 AM I hope Fran and Maggie (Janice on Friends) get together to do a show with their high pitch voices and their crazy laughs so they can irritate those crummy haters of Fran and The Nanny. I think Fran is beautiful, I love her voice (plus her laugh), and she will always be one of the best actresses out there.

That's not Maggie's real voice or laugh. She not only was on FRIENDS, but also on some eppys of everybody loves raymond and she didn't sound anything like she does on FRIENDS. And it's not that hard to make your voice sound like Maggie's either because I always act like Janice around one of my FRIENDS because he loves my impersonation of her...But yeah, I guess that a show w. them would be cool...
MrsGarrettRocksMySocks 11-23-2002, 10:30 PM I like Fran's voice...Well, actually, I like her laugh more...haha...there's this kid at my school, who can do a laugh...pretty close to hers...
BonniesLilCutiePie 01-02-2003, 01:31 PM Katie Couric rox my sox! :)

I didn't think so either UNTIL I saw her in an interview once & then again in Beautician & the Beast (a great movie) It really is her REAL voice, yes sure she exagerates it at times & adds an extra dash of WHINE for the occasion but she really is that nasal.
Darkweaver 07-14-2003, 07:50 PM Well, I've met people with even nasalier (?) accents than Fran. It is known she exaggerates her voice a bit, usually with a high pitch but she definitely has that NYC nasal. If you hear her when she's talking about serious matters and is calmed down, I believe that is when her real voice comes trough. After all, she is a native New Yorker...
*ShortCake* 08-21-2003, 10:02 AM Oh well.. I still love Fran!! Shes awesome! :D
JDS84 10-17-2003, 06:46 PM I actually like her voice.
Bettefan13 04-08-2004, 08:47 PM That is how Fran talks. She even talked like that in her first film....
NostalgiaAce777 04-09-2004, 03:15 PM I like Fran's voice, I think it gives her character. Same thing with that woman who plays Mrs. Freeman on that 70's show.
I am surprised Carol Channing wasn't on that list, even though I love her voice talents as well. She cracks me up.
Or what about Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley?
Bettefan13 04-09-2004, 03:38 PM ... A Friend that talks like Fran ..... and I always tell her to say "yeah" cuz it sounds just like her!!
BlackKitty87 04-11-2004, 01:05 AM I love that picture! Fran such a beautiful, voluptuous woman. And I agree with all of you that she has a great voice. It totally makes Fran, well, Fran! peacesign:
Bettefan13 04-11-2004, 07:13 AM I never see her at any of the awards or anything!!! Have you guys ever? recently that is.
BlackKitty87 04-11-2004, 11:38 PM I LOVE HER OUTFIT!! Its soo cool. Are those pants or a dress? I can`t tell. Here`s a link to some new pix of her (u might have seen em before, and they are small.) :-(

Ant-Lox 09-15-2004, 03:11 PM I like Her voice a lot...
zypherix 09-18-2004, 02:42 PM Where is Bea Arthur on that list... her voice is pretty annoying cause its so husky and dark.

It really is her REAL voice.I read her autobiography Enter Whining (which was really great by the way) and she once took voice lesons in an attempt to stop talking nasal,but then she gave up,and accepted her voice,and became the Nanny.Actually i dont think her voice is that bad.I got used to it.My Dad cant watch the Nanny because of her voice,but he still thinks Fran's pretty.
