Seth MacFarlane isn't just the voice of cartoons, he's also an accomplished singer—and you won't believe who trained him!

The voice of your favorite cartoon dog and baby actually has the voice of an angel—or at least of a professionally taught singer. Seth MacFarlane, creator and star in hits such as Family Guy, has had formal training from a 90-year-old couple that also trained Frank Sinatra. He's a baritone.


On top of being the mind between some of the biggest hits of the last 15 years, MacFarlane is also an accomplished pianist and singer. He trained in his early years with Lee and Sally Sweetland, notable for training both Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra. It all payed off, MacFarlane singed a record deal with Universal Republic Records and released a big band album in 2011.


The album, "Music is Better Than Words," was nominated in the "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album category" at the 54th Grammy Awards, though it didn't do so hot with the critics, scoring a 52 out of 100 on Metacritic. For his followup he's planning on releasing a Christmas album in 2014—that is when he isn't busy making millions on his cartoons and movies.
