New SSE narrator auditions.
- Thread starter EPCOT.nut

YES there are times during the Cronkite version of SSE that he sounds like Shatner...just a little dramatic in places with those "pauses" for effect. :lol:

James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman would be perfect

Oh Meyla Weyla
Ooh now that would be great! Or Leonard Nimoy even, but Shatner would be more fun.
And I keep trying to throw in a female voice, so how about Kate Mulgrew? She too was a Captain (and sounds very much like my Living Seas lady voice):animwink:

Yeah she has a very warm voice. I like it. I think I would hire someone with a smooth, relaxing voice.

No way. If we have to have a WDWMagic back sale to pay for a good narrator I will be glad to coordinate the effort. :lookaroun

Why not keep the guy who did in it's previous incarnation? He was perfect for it.

I say keep Jeremy Irons.
If you need to change the narrator, then Corey Burton.

Patrick Stewart is my first choice. My second choice is Kate Mulgrew. Spaceship Earth has never had a female narrator, but I think she would be a great choice.
Yes, it would seem as though everyone has chosen one Star Trek character or another. There must be a connection between Disney fans and Star Trek fans. In case you couldn't guess, my favourite Star Trek franchises are The Next Generation and Voyager. Some people don't like Voyager simply because it has a female captain, but I personally love that a Star Trek franchise finally had a strong, confident female lead.
I have to say that in my opinion, William Shatner would be an awful choice. I don't know if I could sit through the ride if he was narrating. I like him as an actor and I think his Priceline commercials are hilarous, but that spazzy way he talks is just really annoying sometimes. I agree with whoever said that they would imagine William Shatner's narration would sound like Walter Cronkite's; his narration was a little jerky with pauses in odd places.
My third choice would probably be James Earl Jones. Morgan Freeman isn't a bad idea, and I could probably live with Leonard Nimoy, though I don't think he has the right kind of voice for it, really. Sir Ian McKellen is another good choice. Someone mentioned Levar Burton; I don't think he has the right kind of voice for the ride, but not a bad voice. I don't agree with the Avery Brooks suggestion (sorry). The woman who narrated The Seas has a very calming voice; does anyone know who she is? Speaking of calm voices, what about Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi on TNG).

well after seeing patrick stewart in Othello and A Christmas Carol on stage, I know he would be perfect for it. Although I don't know if I could resist thinking "if it's not scottish it's ____".
As far as ladies are concerned - Kate Mulgrew was really a great suggestion.
As for a younger actor, I would think Dainel Craig (the new bond) would be an interesting choice.

Keep Jeremy Irons, but I think Laurence Fishburne would be fine.
