I find I'm naturally very drawn to listening intently when Liam Neeson speaks.

Any others?

Oh, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Have audible books and love Steven Cree reading

I like slow, soft accents. At the moment I'm listening to an audible book read by Colin Morgan who has a lovely NI accent. Morgan Freeman is another one that I enjoy listening to, and Sam Elliot.

I'm trying to think of female actors' voices that I'm drawn to, I'm sure some will come to me.

Not an actor but Bob Ross the painter who was on tv in the 90's. He is so relaxing to listen too.

Ian McKellen
Christine Lampard
David Attenborough

Sorry only one actor in mine! Misread the title

I like Keeley Hawes. Very crisp!
And Michael Moriarty when he was younger.

Mariella Frostrup has always had a beautiful speaking voice. Kelsey Grammer's is also very distinctive.

BitOfFun · 27/02/2019 18:05

Oh, and Sean Bean's voice is just lovely.

Tanaqui · 27/02/2019 18:05

Jack Davenport.

The man who did The Clangers and Ivor the engine and lots of children’s TV - possibly Oliver Postgate?!

Toooldtobearsed2 · 27/02/2019 18:06

Roger Allam he plays DCI Thursday in Endeavour. I could listen to him reading the telephone directory (do they still print them) all day.
