The first lair in POTO Serbia.

Hi! You’ve answered this question a couple of times but I wanted to see if you had any new favorites. I’ve sort of been on the hunt for actresses who have played as Christine that have darker/more deeper voices? I’ve noticed that some like Katie Hall, Sofia Escobar, Lauri Brons (to me) have lighter or more soft voices.

Any suggestions to listen to?

Hmm, for newer actresses:

Irina Baiant - especially in the recent revival

Celinde Schoenmaker - I know I keep listing her but she is one of the most powerful voices the West End has had for a while

Hanna Ulvan - maybe more operatic than dark but still

Iida Antola - fascinatingly dark and operatic

Astrid Giske - more of a "smoky" tone but still worth mentioning

Darua Goes - such a powerful voice for such a tiny girl

Mina Gligorić - not sure if her voice is dark or if her range is just a bit too low for the role because boy did she mess up on some of those high notes; no link because I couldn't find much of her

I hope those provide some interesting options!
