What's with the husky voice?


She has such a hoarse voice, as if she's constantly having a sore throat. Anyway, very unpleasant, especially when thinking she's young and already sounds like a 40 y.o. heavy smoker. But I like the actress, though. She's lovely.

I don't know about you, but that voice just adds to her sexiness.

reply

You Armenian too? :)
well, to each their own. But I don't see how sounding like a chain-smoker can be sexy for a girl in her twenties.

Shut up. It's hot.

No, I won't. Who are you to tell me what to do?
As for hot - I'll refrain from saying it's not. Tastes differ.

It's one thing to not like her husky voice (which I think is insanely sexy, myself), but "40 y.o. heavy smoker"?

Are you kidding?
Her voice sounds nothing like that.

I've actually met a good many Scottish women and they all sound like that. I think it's in the genes.

It's in the genes? That's rubbish. You grow up with it. You're taught it. Even my wife who is Scottish has a different Scottish accent than her parents. She grew up in Edinburgh, while her parents come from Glasgow. And if you know anything of Scottish accents, you know there's a great variety. There's not just 'generic Scottish'. But Rose Leslie herself didn't grow up in Scotland. She mostly grew up in England and said herself she lost her Scottish accent in an interview I just watched. No, I noticed myself and she confirmed that she's doing a Northern English accent in both Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. (Yorkshire, Manchester).

Here's the interview itself. Watch, listen and learn:
