Steve Reeves Sound Bytes
Created Dec 2008 - last updated May 2009

 

His voice was dubbed in all those Italian films, which is too bad because he had a fine voice. The only things in which you can hear his real voice are the various TV appearances he made and in the films Jailbait and Athena. Here are some sound bytes of Steve's REAL voice. They're all in mp3 format. Enjoy!
