    Default Articulate or not?

    Who do you think are the most articulate (speaking skills, maturity, overall presentation) actresses? As evidenced by their interviews, etc.

    Here's my view on some actresses:

    Yang Mi: She knows what she wants to say and has confidence saying it. Thumbs up given her age.

    Gao Yuan Yuan: Not really articulate, much better saying her lines in dramas and movies. Sweet voice though, but too soft-spoken.

    Xu Jing Lei: Very articulate, sounds very intelligent.

    Zhao Wei: In her younger days, she was relatively articulate, though too childish and cutsy at times. Now, she is a lot more calm, plans more of what she's going to say, but an average speaker overall I think.

    Ruby Lin: Not serious enough in her younger days, improving now, but I can't really see her as a speaker for anying, average as well.

    Cecilia Cheung: VERY VERY average speaker..if you can even cal her that. She doesn't do interviews well, she should just stick to the screen.

    Fan Bing Bing: Very calm speaker, don't have too many comments about her. I would say she's very mature for her age though.

    Ok I'm going to speed this up with a couple of words:

    Shu Chang: Clear, cute, but tad bit kiddy.

    Rainie Yang: Too childish and immature, but clear voice.

    Ariel Lin: Average, not too bad.

    Zhou Xun: Horrible voice, but knows what she's saying.

    Jang Nara: Seems too timid.

    Barbie Hsu: Too indulgnant, not very precise.

    Charlene Choi: Cutsy, strong-headed, but needs more maturity.

    Gillian Chung: Too timid and slow to be articulate.

    Dong Jie: Surprisingly, only average. A tad bit timid.

    Hu Ke: Cute, but not very mature.

    Sammi Cheng: Cute, but haven't seen her really act serious in an interview.

    i think flora chan is very well spoken. she used to be a journalist, and is very articulate in both Chinese and English, having gotten her bachelors at Boston College.

    I agree with Sheren...

    but I don't think Zhou XUn has a horrible voice. In fact, I like her voice because it makes her sound sexier. I am really tired of the taiwanese actresses/jap actresses with those shrilling./cutesy/high voices. Zhou Xun's voice has that edge

    btw, Gong LI's voice is.. hubba hubba

    I don't know, but I really don't like smokers' voices..hence why I don't like Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei's voices..but I guess that's not the main focus here (I made a thread previously on voices).

    Haha, fine..LYF: Initially very timid and child-like, in later interviews, a huge know-it-all and way too proud.
