No one received on-screen credit for the voice of God. Various people have either claimed or been rumored to have supplied the voice, including: producer and director Cecil B. DeMille (who also narrated this movie), Charlton Heston, and basso profundo Delos Jewkes (according to his obituary). DeMille's publicist and biographer, Donald Hayne, maintains that Heston provided the voice of God at the burning bush, but Hayne provided the voice of God giving the commandments. In his 1995 autobiography and an interview on the 2004 DVD release, Heston said he was the voice of God. Anyone can use now-widely available audio editing software to raise the pitch or speed of the voice of the burning bush by about ten percent, which makes it obvious that voice is Heston's. However, similar adjustments show the voice of God on Mt. Sinai was obviously not that of Heston or DeMille. In "The Autobiography of Cecil B. DeMille" (1959) (edited by Hayne), DeMille stated it was "a man I had known many years, not a professional actor...It was agreed among us that, out of reverence for the part of Voice of God, the name of the man who played it should not be revealed."
