Elmo…what a lovely voice you have!

…The better to entertain you with, my dear. A little backstory- when I go to work I turn on the tv for my dog. It seems to comfort him while he’s alone in the house. Like a little kid, one of his favorite tv characters is Elmo. I remarked to my wife that she’d be surprised to see who performs Elmo’s voice.

She didn’t believe me, so I tracked down the youtube proof. Here it is for your amusement and amazement.

Now that’s voice acting. I wish I had that sort of talent. And Kevin Clash plays more than just Elmo. He also performed Splinter in the Ninja Turtle movies and Baby Sinclair from Dinosaurs. I love Baby Sinclair- simultaneously grating and lovable. Here’s a little behind-the-scenes shenanigans during a Dinosaurs taping. Enjoy!
