Yeah. We all knew that it wasn't his real voice, it's just really weird that no one looked him straight in the eye and told him to chill tf out and talk like a normal person. It was a different time back then.

[@AI_Image_Master]

He spent a season on SNL using his real voice. He did plenty of movies and tv in his real voice in the 80's. It's not a real mystery.

[@Iampatrix]

He actually does use his real voice during part of his old stand up routine, but it seems like he's doing an impression of a normal sounding person. Kinda genius really.

[@Karemaker]

@@Iampatrix I feel kind of stupid not knowing this, that he used to use his normal voice all the time. I just had never heard it before, being from after that time. Thanks for the info on it.

[@Iampatrix]

@@Karemaker yeah, I'm old enough to remember his standup heh. But he does stay in character the majority of the time so lots of people don't know. Even during his routine the audience usually didn't know that was his real voice, which is why it always got a huge laugh. This man who's always hunched over, squinting, and screaming suddenly looks normal out of nowhere...it was a good bit.

I met Gilbert Gottfried when I was the Front Office Manager at a hotel he was staying at. I asked him for his autograph (which I really shouldn't have done - but it was back in the 80's - a long time ago) and he looked and sounded completely normal and totally unlike his persona. He was sad that he didn't have any pictures with him to sign for me but was very happy to sign a message on the hotel's letterhead. I thought he was very kind and good-hearted. A really nice man. I still have that autograph framed on my rec room wall.

[@BenCulture]

+AceTheFace954 -- Yeah, but Bobcat Goldthwait's natural voice is just a calmer version of his onstage voice. I can still recognize his voice. It still has that nervouse, shaky tone. Whereas Gilbert Gottfried sounds like an utterly different person. Also, I can't talk about Bobcat without mentioning what a great filmmaker I think he is. _World's Greatest Dad_ was a masterpiece, IMO, the best movie Robin Williams ever starred in. Bobcat wrote and directed that. _Shakes the Clown_ was very impressive for a first-time, low-budget film. I think writing and directing was his true calling in life, although he is very funny in stand-up and the Police Academy movies. I used to listen to his first album, _Meat Bob,_ repeatedly! I'm a big fan, is what I'm saying. As for Gilbert Gottfried, his _Dirty Jokes_ album is delightful. A modern-day comedian simply telling one joke after another. No stories, no recurring themes -- just simple, filthy-dirty jokes. What a concept!

[@ArtimusDragon]

It’s still hard to believe that this is his real voice. Especially crazy that this and his SNL work are the only examples I’ve been able to find where he’s not doing the voice. He recorded hundreds of episodes of his own podcast “in character”, talking for hours at a time in a voice that’s apparently not natural to him, and it never slipped or faltered once. I guess since he’s done the voice consistently through his career, it became pretty natural to him. Still weird though, imagine being his personal friend and doing something like a podcast with him, and having an hour long conversation with him using a totally different voice than he does in private.

He said, I must really be a fan to still like him after that season. He was super friendly, and yes, his voice was smooth and calm, just like this. His eyes were also wide open, and not squinting like they are whenever we see him on TV, etc. My take is that every time he's on air, in whatever context, he's doing part of his act.

Been watching Gilbert for decades. I expect that his voice and mannerisms are greatly exaggerated when performing; but I wasn’t expecting that. I think it’s actually a testament to his talent. Pretty cool. Not at all creepy.

[@TheCoolProfessor]

Rest In Peace Aflac duck.

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

I wonder what it would be like it he voice acted with his natural voice? That would be pretty interesting, I'd like to see people's reactions to it, it could be like: "Who's does this guy's voice?" *looks at staff credits* "Gilbert Gottfried!? How did he do that voice!?" And if that happened, then it turns out that it was his natural voice and not a voice he came up with!

[@Derek65645]

Actually yeah, that'd be somethin I'd like to see as well. It'll give the audience a whole new perspective on his comedy too lol

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

Derek65645 Indeed!

Rather like going to a conference with the speaker listed as Harpo Marx or Joseph Teller (of Penn and Teller).

[@JosieSchuller]

I remember years ago seeing Gilbert Gottfried in an episode of the Nickelodeon show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" He played someone working at an afterlife radio station. This kid who was played by Ryan Gosling kept hearing a strange voice coming from the radio of a car and traced it to Gilbert at this creepy radio station. What made the whole thing so great was that the voice Gilbert was doing was that of the actor James Mason. I mean it was an incredible impression of Mason; Gilbert nailed it. Of course 99.999% of the kids watching that show didn't have a clue who James Mason was or that Gilbert was doing an impression of him. I don't think Gilbert cared though. He just did James Mason's voice because it amused him. That's what makes him so great.

[@kevin2400]

That’s probably the best episode of are you afraid of the dark

[@Larsgman]

I remember that episode. No idea who Mason is/was but gilbert is unmistakable and i was shook to see him in the show. I couldn’t believe it. Also that one episode that had the girl from clarissa explains it all.

[@JosieSchuller]

@@Larsgman James Mason was a fine old actor in lots of films but one of the roles that I remember him most vividly for was that of Straker in Salem’s Lot (1979). Look for a clip here on KZbin called “Face The Master-Salem’s Lot”. Mason is the one in the clip that says “Face the master”. Listen to his voice and then compare it to Gilbert’s impression in that episode of AYAOTD. It’s uncanny 😄

[@JenniferPoole.33272]

Ryan Gosling played the brother. It wasn’t his character that heard the voice. It was a different boy.

[@jayge17]

I discovered this in 2005, I was managing a restaurant at a casino where he was performing, and I sent our room service server home since it was slow, so I ended up taking food up to Gilbert's room, and I got to hear that normal voice, mind blowing! I remember as I handed him his food, I told him I hoped he didn't yell at me for bringing crackers with his soup, and that got a little chuckle out of him, but just a little one.. lol

[@philochristos]

I guess he's one of those actors who always stays in character.

FYI this really is his normal voice. Watch his early stuff from the 80s before he found his new voice, his voice is exactly the same.

[@fatnastyqban]

OMG I remember meeting Gilbert Gottfried in the 80s in Baltimore when he hosted a show starring Buster Poindexter. That voice is the one he spoke to me in and I remember it well. He also told me he closes his eyes on stage because he had severe stage fright. Such a shy quiet man in real life!

[@LeslieFlemons]

He was a very talented man! I just loved how shrill his voice was in TV shows and cartoons. RIP

[@ChrisRindone]

I filled in to produce a radio talk show in Atlantic City on New Year's Eve, years ago. The guest was Gilbert, and his on air/off air voice difference is INCREDIBLE. He was also extremely kind and gracious. Definitely one of the nicer, more down to Earth celebs I've met.

[@TheMonkeysphere]

I KNEW IT! My brother always said if he stopped yelling he'd just sound like what we've always heard, only quieter. I knew that had to be a "persona" voice.

[@mystikspiral6160]

+The Monkeysphere I legitimately thought he just never stopped yelling.
