After he passed away in 2009, people who pretend to be him still copy his voice, and it's now a big part of their act, like his famous sparkling glove and white hat.

But some people who were close to Michael Jackson have claimed that his high-pitched voice was not real. They say he only used it during interviews and that it was not how he spoke all the time.

A person who used to be friends with Michael Jackson said that in real life, his voice was much lower and not high-pitched. This friend, Samm Brown III, shared this surprising information back in 2005.

Samm Brown III's story about Michael Jackson's voice not being real has captured the attention of fans. This musical director made this incredible revelation in 2005.

During an interview with VH1, he told the outlet: “I hope he doesn’t get angry at me for telling you this, but that’s his public persona.”

He added: “I remember a time I called him up and he answered the phone and I didn’t know I was talking to him, because he was talking in his normal voice, which is pretty deep.”

It's surprising that Samm Brown III said this about Michael Jackson, especially because Jackson's former bandmate from the Jackson Five was still alive when Brown made these comments.

But Samm Brown wasn't the only person who talked about this regarding the late singer. Actor David Guest also shared a similar statement about Michael Jackson when he appeared on the Larry King Live show.

Turning to the late-night TV host, Guest said: “I think people don’t know the real him. He doesn’t talk like that.”

Actually, David Guest's wife shared a story about how she accidentally found out what Michael Jackson's real voice sounded like.

She heard a conversation between the two men, and that's when she learned it.

During her interview with Larry King, actress Liza Minnelli said that she had always believed that the high-pitched voice was genuine. But everything changed one night.

The famous person went on to tell a surprising story about the popular singer while on the talk show.

She explained that one day, she accidentally answered the phone and heard David Guest and Michael Jackson talking.

Strangely, Jackson didn't use his well-known high-pitched voice during the call.

This surprised Minnelli, and even though she wasn't part of the conversation, she mentioned it to Jackson.

She told viewers: “I said: ‘Michael, you’re busted. I got you now. All these years you’ve been talking in that voice!’"

But, later on, the couple shared that the high-pitched voice was like a shield that hid the singer's sad history and kept him safe from the public eye.

She added: “This is who you think I am and I can be me within these walls but you can’t come in.”

“He’s been hurt too much, Larry. I mean, they have said kind of rotten things about him. The person that we know is a rather regular guy, believe it or not.”

However, now that Michael Jackson has passed away, we might never fully understand the real person behind the 'Man in the Mirror.'
