I have heard:

Pig Tenor (about an individual with attitude)
Paint peeler soprano
Knurdle Tenor (Dudley Do-right voice)
Whappo soprano (big voice)
Meddzo Zoprano (hyponasal cul-de-sac production)
Motor voice (repetitive grinding vibrato)
Squeaky French (like Mady Mesple)
Donut voice (no core)

These are terms I have heard other singers use on a regular basis to
describe voices they knew.
