Iggy Pop has a voice that's somehow simultaneously self-mocking, wild, precise, amused, righteous, cool, contained and bold. I don't know how he does what he does.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'
The voice is something very mysterious. It's difficult to say what is inside a voice that moves people.
He always describes his characters' voices and their physique so brilliantly. As people have said, they are cartoons, caricatures. They're grotesques really.
You need a bit more to be a pop star than just a good voice.
When I was a kid, I wanted to emulate Mel Blanc, who is arguably one of the most legendary voiceover recording artists of our time. I used to watch all the cartoons where he would voice Daffy, Elmer Fudd and Porky the Pig. I knew one day I wanted to do that.
When I hear myself singing, I hear Iggy Pop and Jimi Hendrix. There's a conversational thing going on. I suppose it depends on which The Pretenders song you're listening to.
I can do a really high-pitched cartoon voice. Everybody always say they like that.
The really cool thing about when you're playing a comic book character is that no one knows what he sounds like.
Iggy Pop is God, if God looked half that good with his shirt off.
One of the coolest ways to start building a character is the way he moves his mouth, what part of the mouth he puts his words into, how he expresses himself, and there's a certain flavor you get with a dialect.
