Listen and Guess Game - Actors Who Sing!

There are a lot of actors who are equally well known as singers ( e.g. Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich ), but there are also a surprising number of actors who it would astonish you to find out recorded an album... or at least a single ( e.g. Rock Hudson, Cheryl Ladd ). Over the years, my sister and I have come to discover ten or fifteen actors that are not known as singers but have a really nice singing voice regardless. While doing some research for a blog post on this topic, the number we discovered grew to over fifty actors! 

In a couple of weeks, we will share this post with you but, in the meantime, we thought it would be fun to make a game of identifying the actor who is singing. Below you will find ten sound clips featuring famous actors singing. Test your knowledge of voice recognition and see if you can name the star who is singing!

The first five sound clips feature the voices of actors/actresses who are best known for making films. They may have appeared on television, too, but they are primarily film stars. The last five sound clips feature the voices of actors/actresses who are best known for their television work. 

If you can guess 5 out of 10, pat yourself on the back, because these are tricky!

Scroll down a bit and on the right column of this blog you will see two picture gadgets with the faces of all ten actors on it.

Listen and Guess - The Baffling Audio Game

Today we are unveiling a new game :  Listen and Guess - The Baffling Audio Game! Get your ears ready for the newest puzzle to hit the blogging community!

We like confounding our readers. Those who have tried The Impossibly Difficult Name that Movie Game know what rascals we are when it comes to picking awfully hard screenshots to guess. For this new game, instead of testing your pictorial recognition skills, we're tickling your audio recognition ability. 

Below is a short sound file featuring a voice that should be very familiar to most of you. Not every sound file will contain a voice, however, some clips may contain background music from a film, or dialogue between two actors. Even a short snippet from a behind-the-scenes interview may be thrown into the lot. The point of the game is if you can guess the name of the performer, or identify which film the music/dialogue is from, etc.....you're a winner! Alas, there's no prize to be won, we just thought you would like to be driven mad for a few minutes each month.

Ready for the challenge?

This first Listen and Guess clip features the voice of a woman who found popularity on television late in her career. If you can also guess the name of the song that she is singing here, then you're a real know-it-all. What a showoff! 

P.S : Cheating is not tolerated around here. The first culprit to google lyrics will get thirty spankings.
