Want a deep, sexy Chinese voice?

[Lanchong]

Chinese learners are often looking for Chinese voices to shadow, and sometimes complain about the lack of deep male voices.

No fear, for now there's the newsreader on rfi's 時事與專題: http://www.chinese.rfi.fr/20140903-%E6%97%B6%E4%BA%8B%E4%B8%8E%E4%B8%93%E9%A2%98-03092014-2215-gmt

A few hours of shadowing later, you'll have the smooth baritone late-night-radio-host Chinese to melt the hearts of Mandarin-speaking ladies everywhere, not to mention a solid grasp of recent geopolitical developments.

haha, not for me, give me a real man's man voice :

OMG it's true. I had to turn it off after a few words, I still have work to do today. That's almost the radio equivalent of those naked ladies reading the news.

Bad Cao Cao, your namesake and his frenemy there sound manly & badass alright, but their voices are not melting anything I'm afraid.

問：你想要深的，性感的聲音嗎？

答：我不想要。

Have to agree with Bad Cao Cao, I would love to be able to speak like the actor who plays Cao Cao! I believe he's from Xinjiang -- does anyone know if that's evident in his accent in any way? But yeah, first time I watched that show I thought he sounded super cool.

Interesting, it was really deep and mellow.

 

Demonic_Duck the link doesn't work for me, odd cos never had YouTube refused before on the grounds that it is not available in my country.

@DD

 

Absolutely hilarious!

I'm going to agree with Bad Cao Cao also.  姜文 is still my reference.  If only he had a radio show or something..

Well, that sucks. When I set my VPN to a UK server, I get the same message. Basically, because it's a British show, you're not allowed to watch it in Britain. Makes perfect sense.

 

Anyway, the whole episode's available here, but you have to register:

Thank you, I will give it a look when I am not so busy.

Never mind Cao Cao; the actor who plays Zhang Fei in this series resembles a Chinese version of Brain Blessed!

[Pokarface]

Yes, I want a deep and badass Chinese voice like Batman! Lol

I have a really "troll" voice. Sometimes it sounds like a baby. The 1st tone is difficult to pronounce with a deep voice 

 

I like how this Laowai speaks Chinese

I think I should ace my "Zh" sounds and then I can concentrate on my voice. Maybe I can try to focus on both at the same time
