Singer Mariah Carey has revealed she wants a voice machine like Stephen Hawking.
The ‘Loverboy’ star, 37, who says she has has to stop talking for two days before a big show to give her voice a rest, believes a “robot voice” machine similar to the one used by the paralyzed scientist would be useful.
She said: “Before a big show I have to do ‘vocal rest’ where I’m not allowed to speak for two days. It’s so boring having to write notes to everyone! I need Stephen Hawking’s voice machine for when I’m on vocal rest.
“I’d like a machine where I can just think and it comes out in a robot voice – that would be amazing!”
Mariah also revealed her unique singing voice is down to nodules on her vocal cords.
She added to Britain’s Q magazine: “One of the reasons for my voice is I have nodules on my vocal cords. My mother says I’ve had them since I was a kid. That’s why I have the high register and the belting register and I can still be husky.
“The only thing that really affects my voice is sleep. Sometimes if I’m exhausted I can’t hit the really high notes.”
I think that voice thing would certainly put a tremendous amount of relief on your hand. So I think that from days of singing in the church halls to the stage and through the spotlight termoil and wherever you may be today, I must say your are by far the biggest influence in my life when it came to the dreams in my heart. You are an incredible singer and a beautiful woman and just a sweetie. You will probably never get this but to all the fans i will be proud to say I am a greatful fan with hopes to meet my idol someday. I almost died after my last child and when I was in the hospital one of my thoughts were”If this is it I want to make my last request to meet Mariah Carey, but I am good now and my child is healthy and I still have my dream. Someday I will meet the talented one.
