Kermit The Frog's New Voice Sounds a Lot Like Kermit The Frog! You Can Listen to it Now
"Dreams are how we figure out where we want to go. Life is how we get there. I’m headed this way."
As you may have already heard, last month longtime Kermit the Frog performer Steve Whitmire was fired by Disney. He has been the man behind Kermit for almost 30 years, ever since Jim Henson passed away in 1990. But, due to a series of events he was fired over “unacceptable business conduct.”
Disney has since replaced Whitmire with Matt Vogel and he recently made first public debut as the classic character. A clip has surfaced online featuring Vogel voicing Kermit and you know what? He sounds a lot like Kermit the Frog! I doubt anyone is going to complain. There are some very subtle differences, but most people probably won't notice. It seems like Disney got the perfect guy to take on the character. You can check out the clip below.
I also included a Kermit the Frog voice comparison video that compares the voices of Jim Henson, Steve Whitmire, and Artie Esposito, who have all voiced Kermit.
