Ken Anderson recalls a high school teacher telling him that he should ‘do something’ with his ‘radio voice.’
Throughout his pro wrestling career, Anderson was known as a solid worker but would utilize his ‘radio voice’ for his promos and entrances, where he would announce himself to the ring.
While speaking to Soundsphere Magazine in a new interview, Ken Anderson spoke about how he came to have his ‘radio voice’ that he utilized in his pro wrestling career.
“It was really just mimicking what I saw… I spent a lot of time in my room by myself listening to records… audio books… I had the Lord of the Rings cassette tapes – four cassette tapes per book, 12-part series the BBC put out – and I just listened to that thing over and over again.”
Anderson would also note that a teacher of his would push him to use his voice and to ‘do something’ with it.
“My teacher was like, ‘You have a really good voice, and you should do this. You should do something with this.’”
Elsewhere in another recent interview, Anderson would speak on how his iconic entrance would come to be and the part that Paul Heyman played in it becoming a part of his presentation. You can read more about that here.
