I've had to speak to a new man a couple of times now.
His voice has me mesmerized even though I have no idea what he looks like.
This isn't the first time a male voice has had this effect.
I work with all men so I am not seeking to hear a mans voice.
Is it just me or has anyone else felt weak at the knees for the sound of someone's voice.

Ooh yes. Richard Armitage's voice makes me weak at the knees. And of course the wonderful Alan Rickman.

And in a weird way that I just can’t explain, Jeff Goldblum Grin

I don't think there will ever be a man whose voice can rival that of Alan Rickman. Just perfect.

RIP.

Alan Rickman was pure fire.

Completely agree with this!

Also Matthew Mcfadyen and Neil Oliver.
Both have very sexy voices

romany4 · 24/07/2021 00:03

Richard Burton's voice still gets to me

Absolutely! And in the same vein, Anthony Hopkins...ooh

CatherineMorland · 24/07/2021 00:10

Sam Heughan in Outlander.

God, I'd forgotten the immense crush I had on the IT help desk guy in my first proper job. Should have kept it on the phone.

Alan Rickman = fanny gallops.
Jack Davenport = swoon.

There was a visiting German student serving in our Pizza Hut many years ago. I can still hear him saying 'Thin and crispy Seafarer'
Fabulous accent!

Thecazelets · 24/07/2021 00:20

Possibly a bit niche, but the Cambridge academic David Runciman has the most amazing voice. I listen to his politics podcasts partly for that, I'm ashamed to say. I have actually met him briefly, but I'm afraid it's only the voice that does it for me!

And very much agree with all the Alan Rickman fans. He was pretty much perfect in every way though.

Thecazelets · 24/07/2021 00:23

Oh yes, and Jack Davenport. Or Miles, as he is known in this house...

QueefofSheena · 24/07/2021 00:26

Michael Wincott, particularly in The Crow

Holothane · 24/07/2021 00:27

Alan Rickman in Die Hard, oh yes
Eric Roberts when he says certain things

TeanupFlutter · 24/07/2021 00:28

Oh god yes Alan Rickman and Jack Davenport! Nigel Harman too and Kiefer Sutherland.

MrsTulipTattsyrup · 24/07/2021 00:30

Definitely Alan Rickman. He wins this game every time.

But get Benedict Cumberbatch reading something, anything, in your headphones and 🥵

NopeNotGonna · 24/07/2021 00:33

I always thought David Bowie had a gorgeous (speaking) voice.

And in a weird way that I just can’t explain, Jeff Goldblum Grin
Me too! 🎉
LittleBearPad · 24/07/2021 10:27

And on the flip side David Beckham in the early 90s. That was a disappointment

Squirrel26 · 24/07/2021 10:30

I sometimes do a Teams meeting which includes someone I have never met, and never seen, who works for a different organisation and he has THE most attractive voice. I don't even mind having to listen to it at 8 in the morning. Grin

thereisonlyoneofme · 24/07/2021 11:02

Christopher Lee used to do it for me, especially when playing Dracula !

cookiemon666 · 24/07/2021 11:58

I completely get what you mean

There is a chef on tiktok and I could fall asleep to his voice, especially when he says "alrighty then" and winks

percheron67 · 24/07/2021 12:36

Some years ago, Nigel Havers did a voice chat for an insurance company. Goodness knows, how many times I dialled them just to hear him ....................................

newnortherner111 · 24/07/2021 12:55

Imagining the late Alan Rickman (RIP).

Nonmaquillee · 24/07/2021 13:01

Voice is really really really important. I once dated a guy who was really physically attractive but when I heard him pronounce “crisps” as “criss”, I lost all interest.

Like PP, I can’t stand Estuary or Midlands accents. My current squeeze is from another country and when he speaks his own language (a Romance language), I melt…he sometimes leaves me little voicemails that I listen to over and over 😊😊

VanGuff · 24/07/2021 13:14

Ugh there's someone I have to call regularly at work and his voice is just beautiful. So deep and smooth, and just slightly sounds like he's in bed.

I used to have a work colleague who was a total wanker, I hated working with him but everytime I had to phone him I forgot all of that, again just a really deep sexy voice.

Totally agree with the Alan Rickman and also Christopher lees!

Susannahmoody · 24/07/2021 13:18

What is this Texas video? Lie down?!

Another one for the lovely Alan and also Daddy pig
