KAREN CARPENTER!! How could you miss this one, Irene??

Speaking voices:

Gregory Sierra (NATURALLY!) (

Heck - almost anybody has a recognizable voice to me! Except for many of those popular kid stars of today - since I'm in my late 20s and have no kids, I don't know most of them from Adam.

Here's another one - Kevin Seitzer, former MLB infielder (who ended his playing career with my hometown Indians) and most recently a hitting coach for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Even though he hails from the Midwest, he has a very twangy drawl of a voice. A friend I had in high school could imitate his voice perfectly.
