[Bards] Differing Styles

[Alden Drake]

For some reason I'm reminded of the Eddie Izzard routine from "Dressed to Kill"

"But you do sing the national anthem - I've seen you singing the national anthem, and I've worked out how to do it. If you're lost in the middle of it and you're singing the words, because  the Tannoy systems at big stadiums, you know, it doesn't matter wherever you're singing it. All that people care about is the look,  because there's figures on this. 70% of what people react to is the look, you know, it's how you look; and 20% is about how you sound; and only 10% is what you say. So if you look good and sound good, just up there going, ( sings gibberish to a few bars of The Star Spangled Banner ) Big mouth! ( more gibberish to a few more bars ) The eyes! ( more gibberish ) Use that! ( more gibberish ) And keep confirming and denying things. ( more gibberish, up to the words 'Star spangled banner yet wave' )  Everyone will go wild! Oh, yeah, oh yeah!"

ROFL

I'd add David Duchovny to that list, but you're right the list of
people who's voice alone, though my list of people I'd listen to sing
scales for any length of time is about as short (I haven't heard any
of the individuals you mentioned sing so they're not in my equation.)
Lyrics are about a third of the reason I listen to a song, and the
words themselves are only about a third of what I look for in a story,
personally.
