    It amazes me how much power he can have behind his voice even though he only sings in his falsetto. Absolutely incredible.

      +Alyssa Da Turtle true, however I consider power and volume two different things. I think you can incredible power behind a voice without being loud and vice versa

      @alyssahertzog3294 8 років тому +4

      Your right, it is two very different things. I'm playing the part of Pinocchio in my school play and I'm trying to have power in my voice without a mic but I just can't seem to make it happen😂😂 it's pretty difficult to sing with a Pinocchio voice

      Blondie 225 I know it’s a year late, but it’s nasally and comes back in the throat. At least for me. It’s quite easy for me since I’m a girl and I can get that high because I speak higher already. Plus since it’s so high, it’s like a piercing sound so you can really belt it out if you can get the voice down. The southern accent kinda just comes for me with the voice. :)

    I had no idea until the end credits (I watched it on Netflix) that he played so many roles! I'm astounded by his talent! Oh my god! I can't believe how many things he did in this show, and how busy he was! And that he did them all well! Whoa. I agree, respect. Wow. Amazing, superb.

    When he was onstage, I couldn't take my eyes off of him for long! He has the BEST expressions ever! And the only time I didn't laugh was when he had his "why can't I be a real boy" scene, and that's because it's a crime against humanity to laugh at a crying puppet boy.

    OMG, Johnny was SO amazing! I KNEW he was in the Travel Song scene, but he had more puppets than just Puss. I think he also did the bunny (the one Shrek said looked delicious that ran off screaming like Rod), either the dish or the spoon (similar departure), and maybe the voice of the cow.

    I'm not trying to cause trouble, but if the Tony nominations were any indication of how the awards will go, nobody has anything in the bag. There were a lot of surprises already, particularly Rock of Ages' 5 nominations and Shrek/9 to 5 not getting nominated for set. I think it's safe to say that June 7th will bring some surprises. Let's just cross our fingers that it'll be in Shrek's favor!
