I saw her on a new saturday morning show called phil of the future.Yeardly smith she dont have to change her voice when she's doing the simpsons show Like the other actors she just starts talking and you hear lisa simpson.

Nothing unique about that. I'm pretty sure Marcia Wallace uses her actual voice as Mrs. Krabappel, and isn't that Tress MacNeille's own voice as Lindsay Nagel? (Besides, Yeardley's actual voice is slightly lower-pitched than how Lisa speaks.)

Notice Yeardley can't do any other character's voice. OK once in a great while she does one. Not too well eitherl

She should stick to collecting Darren Hayes records.

Kind of scary if that's true. Naegle sounds like a soulless corporate automaton; the voice is perfectly suited to the character. I hope it's not indicative of MacNeille's personality.

You can be forgiven for thinking otherwise. I didn't know there was a difference until I saw video footage of Smith demonstrating her Lisa voice at a fan meet-and-greet. (There's a mini-demo "Future-Drama (GABF12)," near the end of Act 2. Future Lisa yells at Bart, "You've ruined my life." Right afterward, present Lisa yells, "You're going to ruin my life." At that moment, you can hear a slight difference in their voices.)

Like the original poster said, if you listen to Yeardley Smith being interviewed, or guest-starring on some other show, it's easy to close your eyes and imagine Lisa Simpson doing the talking.
