Now, using your list begin to eliminate words that don’t fit your voice and hone in not only on which famous folks have similar sounds to you but what your own vocal description might be.

Adjective/Adverb List

Wry                               Calm                     Perky

Honest                         Open                  Cut-to-the-chase

Sarcastic                     Happy                 Clipped

Giddy                           Haughty              Innocent

Secretive                     Emotional         Bored

Inquisitive                  Playful                  Cool

Sexy                              Witty                     Crazed

Earnest                       Angry                    Grounded

Trustworthy            Confident              Relaxed

As you go through each word on the list, be really honest with yourself when deciding if it fits your voice naturally. Right now the focus is not on whether or not you can sound a certain way if you push it, but how you normally sound without pushing. Happy hunting!
