William Shatner Main Discussion - MARS RISING

I find Bill’s narrating voice in "mars rising" somewhat of a disappointment. In my opinion he is “whispering” into the microphone and this, for some reason, has an irritating and sickening effect on me. I feel he is straining to narrate in a new style, but it is destroying everything he is saying. I think he should just talk in his normal voice that we all have listened to for years and let it go at that. I do not mean this in a bad way, but his soft whisper voice is not making it.

Thanks

Not being familiar with "Mars Rising" I can't post an opinion until I get the audio. Can anyone direct me to where I can listen to this alleged annoying recording?

Perhaps this is what CHIPINWV is referring to:

Sounds alright to me. People's voices change through out their lives and Bill's is no exception to the rule. Cool

I like how he said "capsule" He said: Cap-soo-el. I say it like "capsull". Funny how people say the same word differently because of where they were raised geographically. Cool
