Kermit the Frog is an American icon and one of the most popular Muppets. He is best known for his catchphrase “It’s not easy being green.” For more than 50 years Kermit has been entertaining audiences of all ages with his lovable personality and innocent outlook on life.
But how does Kermit the Frog talk?
It turns out that there are several different ways that Kermit the Frog talks depending on the context.
When Kermit is talking to other people he typically speaks in a higher-pitched voice than when he is alone. This is because Kermit is trying to project his voice so that others can hear him.
However when Kermit is alone or thinking to himself he often speaks in a lower-pitched voice. This is because he doesn’t need to project his voice and he can relax his vocal cords.
Kermit also has a unique way of talking when he is singing. His voice is usually higher-pitched and more melodies which helps to convey the emotion of the song.
Interestingly Kermit’s voice has changed over the years. When he first debuted on “The Muppet Show” in 1976 his voice was higher-pitched and more nasally. This was because the original performer Jim Henson used his own voice for the character.
Over the years Henson’s successors Steve Whitmire and Matt Vogel have made Kermit’s voice their own. However they have kept the essential qualities that make Kermit sound like Kermit.
So the next time you watch a Muppet movie or TV show pay attention to Kermit’s voice and see if you can notice the different ways he talks!
