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

Any others?

Oh, and Whoopi Goldberg.

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

Benedict Cumberbatch

David Tennant

Samantha Bond has a gorgeous voice. And I could listen to Derek Jacobi forever as well.

But my all time favourite voice is the lovely sweet drawl of James Stewart.

Julie Walters..love her voice
Judi dench
Dawn French
Diana rigg
Jayne McDonald

Not a big fan of Lorraine although quite like accents or Joe swash

David Tennant has a beautiful voice and face
Colin Morgan’s accent is lovely.
I once fell in love with a voice. I worked in an office and spoke to this guy pretty much daily and he had such a lovely voice. He didn’t look anything like he spoke though. Apparently he’d mentioned to someone else in our office that he liked speaking to me too. Grin
I also agree Jenny Agutters voice is very soothing.

Brian Blessed
David Tenant
Sean Connery
Richard Burton had the most actor voice ever
Liam Neeson that soft irish brogue under the voice

Dowser · 27/02/2019 19:02

If you like Liam Neesam...do you like James Naisbett.

Dowser · 27/02/2019 19:05

Anne Reid
And actress Brenda blethyn when she’s playing vera

KizzyWayfarer · 27/02/2019 19:06

The late, great, Alan Rickman

Carouselfish · 27/02/2019 19:08

Amazed nobody has mentioned John Malkovich. Maybe he's too Marmite but for me his voice is divinely sexy even if he's not in his Dangerous Liaisons days anymore.

ForalltheSaints · 27/02/2019 19:11

Brian Blessed.

Time40 · 27/02/2019 19:14

Rula Lenska.

And not an actor, but Richard Dawkins.

Alan Rickman had the best voice Sad

Anthony Hopkins

Richard Burton

Brian Blessed - makes me laugh every time I hear him

Kristen Scott Thomas - I don't know why but I want to be her when I am reincarnated.

Another vote here for the lovely calm voice of Mark Rylance. I also love Nicola Walker's voice.

Blompitude · 27/02/2019 20:16

Anton Lesser

MidnightBlue28 · 27/02/2019 20:20

Nathaniel Parker, Patrick Stewart & Timothy Dalton (I’d happily listen to them reading the Argos catalogue!)

Yumsnet · 27/02/2019 20:20

Dominic West

CatherineofTarragon1 · 27/02/2019 20:28

Arthur Lowe when he voiced the Mr Men cartoons when I was a child in the 70.'s. Also, Geoffrey from Rainbow. I hear his voice in the iccasiona Nick Jr repeat and I'm transported to the 1970's.

Currently, love Dr David Starkey. He has a kind of old sch , 1970's scientific educational morning programme type voice. Plus I love history and could listen to him all day!

Stephen Fry
David Attenborough
Joanna Lumley
