Voice - which actors have it?

[Figleaf23]

Not an actor, but a singer -- Tom Jones (the dude's voice actually causes females to disrobe spontaneously). In like kind too, Barry White.

Not sure, but I'd want it to be quite rare. Other replies in this thread seem to suggest that every other star actor has it, which is a bit absurd.

I don't know about that. I think Voice is rare in the general population...but I think people who have Voice gravitate to Acting, Singing, Speech Giving professions. Just like athletes tend to have better physical stats than the average person, or scientists have better IQ than the average person.

Agreed. I believe that for large N, if 1 in N people in the global population has something like Appearance, Charisma, Fashion Sense, Smooth Operator, or Voice, then somewhere between 10 and 100 in N entertainers have that trait. Indeed, in the mass-media society, there's a case to be made that our standards of "charismatic," "good-looking," "pleasant-sounding," and "stylish" are determined by exposure to media stars; ergo, entertainers set the standards by which we're all judged, and naturally do better than average.

Indeed and we are also bringing up examples of stars (some of the most successful of them all)...which is a small subset of the entire entertainer population. There are a lot of actors...many of them underemployed. Not all of them are super gifted with Appearance, Charisma, Voice...etc. The ones that are...tend to be over-represented in the star population, naturally.

That depends on if you view the PC Heroes as a whole other breed of human ;-).
