Blanc originated the voice, in a characterization similar to his Daffy Duck, minus the lisp, with the recording slightly sped up to give a higher-pitched tone to the voice. That practice would continue with other voice artists.

Famous quotes containing the words voice and/or artists:

    When love speaks, the voice of all the gods
    Make heaven drowsy with the harmony.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The past is interesting not only for the beauty which the artists for whom it was the present were able to extract from it, but also as past, for its historical value. The same goes for the present. The pleasure which we derive from the representation of the present is due not only to the beauty in which it may be clothed, but also from its essential quality of being present.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
