Donald Duck's Sassy Voice Belongs to Modest Mimic
Glendale correspondent reports Clarence Nash, the long time voice of Donald Duck, grew up imitating animals and birds in Missouri and Kansas City. He joined Disney after an audition spurred by Walt Disney who recognized his talent during a radio audition. Nash later helped define Donald's distinctive tongue in English and other languages while eventually running a Glendale seed store with his wife.
