Forget the rivalry rumors, y’all!Star Warslegend James Earl Jones shuts down competition rumors with Morgan Freeman. Respecting Freeman’s talent, Jones insists their styles are pretty distinct. TheStar Warsvoice actor’s own deep, iconic tone—the one that brought Darth Vader to life—is simply one-of-a-kind, and Freeman is no less.
This refreshing perspective from a Hollywood voice icon reminds us: There’s room for multiple unforgettable voices to narrate our world.
Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones Celebrate Unique Narration Styles
Morgan Freeman, the voice of God himself, andJames Earl Jones, the man behind Darth Vader’s iconic breathing? Rivals? In a recent interview with theNew York Times, the voice artist shuts down whispers of competition between him and Freeman, alluding,“Oh, no. It’s a whole different sound.”
Sure, both are hailed for their smooth, rich voices that have narrated countless documentaries and captivated audiences for decades. Both even hail from the South. But for Jones, the comparisons stop there. Appreciating the distinct charm Freeman brings to the table, Jones explained,
He and I are both from the South, but Morgan never dropped the Southern accent. It’s not a Southern-black voice—there’s a Southern-gentleman aspect to his voice, and that makes it so wonderful to listen to.
Jones, a true thespian with over a six-decade career, is much more than just a voice. Winning several accolades, he’s brought characters like Mufasa inThe Lion Kingand the iconic Darth Vader to life on screen.
But let’s be honest, the dark, booming voice of Darth Vader is probably what most people think of when they hear James Earl Jones. And Jones himself? He doesn’t quite get the hype. He admits during the NY Times interview:
I don’t hear the voice you hear, I’m not party to the Darth Vader tone. All I’m doing is using the voice I have to try to be as clear as I can with the language I’m using.
So, there you have it. James Earl Jones, a legend in his own right, appreciates the artistry of Morgan Freeman’s voice, but rivalry? Nah. These two titans of narration are just out here doing their thing, each with their own unique “sound.”
Who’s Got a Better Voice: Freeman or Jones? Twitter Responds
Twitter is on fire with a heated argument! There is a fight among voice actors fans over who’s the best: James Earl Jones (who voicedStar Warscharacter Darth Vader andThe Lion King’sMufasan) or Morgan Freeman (who brought God to life inBruce Almighty?)
Between James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, its hard to choose who has the most iconic voice. Its Mufasa vs. Lucius Fox!pic.twitter.com/mTsnVa7hj3
Darth Vader, hands down!
Uhh Darth Vader anyone??? It’s not a hard choice.
Darth Vader wins.
To those who select Freeman as the voice of “God,” I’d steer you to the audio version of The Bible, where Jones lends HIS booming voice as the narrator. In a dark room, you’d think God himself was telling you the purest truth!
Morgan’s is more soothing IMHO.
James Earl Jones!
Freeman is also god.
