Epic Win: Michael Winslow


Submitted by Tom S

Better known as the “Man of 10,000 Sound Effects,” Michael Winslow was the best part of the Police Academy films (all four hundred of them). His talents had nothing to do with post-production sound editing, but real-life vocal wizardry. Behold!

    Wow.. this guy is freaking amazing. How can so many sounds come out of one person’s throat and still sound so real?

  2. vi31 says:

    That is amazing. He’s one of the reasons Spaceballs is one of my alltime favorite movies.

  3. April says:

    WOW, this is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while!

      He did a commercial for Long John Silvers fish n chips back in the 90’s. Still remember. Someone needs to post that.

  4. diandra says:

    I saw him live in West Palm Beach in the late 80’s or early 90’s…he was great. I laughed the whole show.

  5. mjc says:

    He was what made those Police Academy movies awesome. Best part was scaring the shit out of those people in the bear pit with just his megaphone.

  6. D.R. says:

    This guy is really cool. I’m always happy when I see him on TV. :)

  7. argentlupus says:

    He is the man, I am surprised they did not put the space balls clip on with this. But definently one of the best thing of the 80s. He was even on Family Guy.

    • CobraDBlade says:

      And even had a bit in Robot Chicken where they crossed Police Academy with X-Men, where he did ALL the sound effects in the skit and the song during the end credits. it was epic!

    I have always loved Michael Winslow’s stuff! What a fantastic talent. Lots of people beat-box, but nobody else does what he can do! WIN!!!!!

  9. Jester says:

    I love this guy. I remember when I first caught him on the television, I couldn’t believe it. XD Epic win, indeed!

  10. toribug11 says:

    how the hell doe he DO that!!!???

  11. Holden says:

    I think there was a time in our childhoods, where we all wanted to make sounds like him and annoyed the crap out of our parents.

  12. bettievoncarroll says:

    GW Bailey is my uncle :)

  13. Chewybunny says:

    That is sorcery. Nothing more.

  14. Rich says:

    Yea,

    Then the AHs that are listed as “FOLEY ARTISTS” took his job and now put in the un synched sound effects in the movies.

    My favorite Winslow will always be Carl…. ;)
