I've noticed it. I've also noticed that it has gotten SO much better since those first clips of him back in May/June. It seems as though getting vowel sounds right and combating dryness will be the only issues; thankfully both of these are treatable with vocal rehab and healing time, respectively.
Definitely. Listening to the Jericho interview right now; his articulation etc is fine, really improved. Just meant, some people didn't seem to notice it that much at first. I thought it was really obvious until quite recently.
Maybe, maybe. I did notice that.
Indeed. I think on the Jericho interview he sounds absolutely fine. His voice generally is a lot deeper & gruffer than I recall. But I've always thought Bruce sounds a little over animated in interviews sometimes. Sort of like his public speaky voice, if you know what I mean. In a lot of recent interviews I think he sounds really natural & how I'd imagine him if you just stood & talked to him i.e. how he's actually always sounded. His voice generally has obviously changed over the last ten years or so, but post-cancer, right now, I think it sounds pretty back to normal. Recovery sounds very nearly complete. We'll soon find out when he stars singing again though...I agree. At that Campus Party talk he did back in... July? his voice was quite tired and "cracked" sounding. The fact that in a couple months he's gotten this much better bodes very well for a full recovery next year
Still a marked improvement over Campus Party/Nordoff Robbins awards in July... and he's still got just shy of six months until the tour takes off.
Sorry, didn't read your post Foro before posting mine. Yeh, you can certainly still hear it (& see it) in that interview. It's like his lips or something. It doesn't have anything to do with his actual voice; & it's also not in the least surprising. Still, it's quite noticeable. As Lego says though, I still think his singing will be fine. I have to admit, I do still wonder about quick (already challenging) vocal passages like in Hallowed though. There's the potential that songs like this might be a problem if he were to try them right now. But plenty of time.
