Favourite Voices

[sack the chimp]

Could be on the radio, could be narrating over something.

Which voices just make you listen, whatever the hell they're talking about, however dull the documentary. Or just their voice as an actor (its a lot of the part).

Here's a few of mine

John Peel Apart from his radio show, he did Life of Grime. Such a dull show, but I've seen that many a time.

John Simm Cant remeber what documentary he did, but I remember watching the whole series.

Brian Blessed I don't think I need to explain that one. Other than maybe "Gordon's Alive!".

Paul Robeson w00t w00t( this sentence will never be uttered again in the future of the English language I am sure). John Barrymore. [Dude, Shakespearean actors voices' have to be teh roXXor]

Winston Churchill.

Leonard Cohen.

Carl Haas[spelling unsure]. He's a radio announcer on either PRI or NPR. English is not his first language, so he has this lovely, almost lilting quality to his voice. He's on the classical music station 89.1 around me and he is so knowledgeable I slmost aways learn something whenever I listen.

Bill nighy- he does those new zanussi adverts, and of course was very recently in love actually. I just love his voice.

I love Patrick Stewart, Chris Lee and Ian McKellen's voices, because they're all insanely sexy voices. It seems old men get those. Interesting

[moog]

brian of course, and also Keifer Sutherland (Keith O Sullivan to his mates)

A friend described his voice as 'sounding like rotten honey dripping off a dead whores corpse' and i think that sums him up perfectly

Only he could play the sniper in phone booth so perfectly. He is a true actor. Acting only with his voice, done so well.

I'd never realised until now just how similar they actually sound.

Sasw Chris Lee on that 100 greatest move stars last night, he said he should have been an opera singer. Taht would be interesting.

Cnn radio person (I think) Paul Harvey.. "And now you know.. the rest of the story."

I must have my Paul Harvey at 6:28 am everyday.. otherwise I'll feel like I'm missing something.

James Earl Jones.

Forever typecast as Vader. Yeah, except he isn't. Who can forget Muphasa and the CNN ads?

[littlefirework]

I had forgotten Muphasa. But CNN most certainly rings in my head all too often.

[katie]

Lucille ball - whaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Josh turner (country singer with really nice voice)

pat buttram -- played as a voice actor in a lot of disney animations; most notably the sheriff of nottingham in 'robin hood'

rowan atkinson - his voice is funny (he played the voice of zazu in the lion king btw)

roger miller

[piemanmoo]

Jim carrey- he's just so funny that his voice alone brings laughter.

Mufusa was brilliant and the only experience with CNN was the pisstake on the Simspons.

Here's another one: Dan Green (voice of Yugi/Yami in Yu-Gi-Oh!).
