Which actors/actresses have the best natural speaking voices?

[MidwifeyForLifey]

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

Any others?

Oh, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Richard Burton's voice was always wonderful to listen to. These days Helen Mirren - and the Welsh rugby commentator on the BBC - don't know his name but just fabulous!

Michael Sheen.

He narrated the audiobook I’ve just finished and I wish he could narrate all the audiobooks ever!

Stephanie Beacham has a great voice too.

Anton Lesser is WONDERFUL! He's so good, I seek out things read or narrated by him.

Colin Salmon

Robert and Philip Glenister

Joanna Lumley
Miriam Margoyles
Moira Stewart
Hugh Bonaville
David Tenant
All of the Woman's Hour Presenters.
Sara Cox - she so funny and natural.

Further votes for Alan Rickman, Anthony Hopkins and Ralph Fiennes!

OP It's not David Starkey is it?

Jane That's him! Thank you

Roger Allam
Hattie Morahan
Hugh Bonnaville

nova Oh wow. You're actually right. Jane said someone and I looked at a video... he seemed almost right but quite a bit younger, yet with a certain similarity.

It is definitely David Starkey. 100%

Oh yes, who could forget Alan rickman?
Me apparently.
Fab voice.
Tom conti has a nice voice.

Anthony Hopkins
Joanna Lumley
Patrick Stewart
Hugh Bonneville
Maggie Smith
Neil Oliver

The dulcet tones of Jennifer Garner always get my vote.

Penelope Keith is my favourite and Micheal Johnston the 400m runner

It's possible that many of the actors mentioned were RADA or RSC students and therefore may speak with a slightly affected lilt, rather than their natural tones.

John Barnes

I can't believe I forgot Chiwetel Ejiofor, amazing voice and easy on the eye too.

...and Micheal Johnston the 400m runner

Yes! How could I forget him? I often wish he could come and live in my house and just be a calming influence on the family.
