He was fortunate to be in SILENT film. His voice was great in silence. It was Pola Negri's idea for him to record. Upon hearing this recording you know the meaning of "Strange Love". Great work. I loved it. Maya
@mayatatyana1 Thank you. I have read that Rudy's voice was husky and very pleasant, with a Continental accent. I've also heard at least three versions of why he did the recordings. One said he just wanted to take a whack at it, another said he did it for Natasha, and another said it was Pola's idea. I do know that when he listened to the recordings, he actually did say, "There goes my opera career!" But if he'd worked on his voice more I think he could've been a pretty good singer.
Did you know that that remark was actually spoken by Rudy himself when he heard the recordings? That's why he didn't do any more. I wish he had. Or, he could have read "Day Dreams" out loud.
I also recently found out that during the original recordings, Rudy played the guitar while he sang. Later the guitar sound was taken out and other music put in. Why??? Jeez, why are people always tampering with things like that when they're fine as they were??? It's almost as bad as scenes being deleted from his movies!
Thank you! I use Crazy Talk 5.1. You open a photo, and use certain tools to animate the eyes and mouth. You can even add teeth. Then you add a wave sound or an mp3, press play, and the lips move along with the sound. You can save it in various formats, including wmv and avi. It also has comical special effects you can add, like rolling cartoon eyeballs (see my other video, "How to Boost Your Self Esteem."
Always a pleasure to watch and tho hear this incredible handsome sexy gorgeous damn yummy yummy Rudy! Mmmmmm :) - SUCH A GREAT and FUNNY vid - THANK YOU!Warm hugs and kisses

Aw, the poor baby said that? I would have gone to see him sing opera. I would have bought any recording that he made.
All his fans would. :-))
I would have been thrilled to hear him read the phonebook out loud, just to hear his voice. :-))

Me, too, and I'm sure all his fans would have also. But he probably assumed that his voice would soon be heard in talking films anyway.

Played the guitar! Oh, that would have been wonderful if they had left the guitar playing in. :-((

Thank you! The words at the end are what Rudy actually said when he first listened to the recording.
