Mine is Glen Tilbrook (Squeeze), Robert Johnson (blues musician) and Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby. Not his normal voice.

Troy Baker who is the voice of Joel in the TLOU games.
Oh yeah, good shout - Tommy has a lovely voice too.

Agree Jeffrey Pierce who voices Tommy, great accent too!

Oh and Richard Burton - I'll sometimes watch old videos of him on chat shows just to hear him!

There's a wonderful recording of him reading "Under Milk Wood". I fell in love with it as soon as he got to "limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishing boat-bobbing sea".

It was over 50 years ago that I first heard it, and it's still there, in whatever the aural equivalent of the mind's eye is. When I read it, it's his voice I hear.

Ooh thanks - I will check this out. I was going to say young Martin Sheen in movies/TV has an extremely sexy voice (and is also an absolute beauty, which you wouldn’t necessarily guess from The West Wing).

I think it's a joke based on the fact that, for many years, we never heard his voice on TV because it was replaced by that of an actor. When he was speaking on the news, it always told you on screen it was an actor's voice.

Rookiemama1 · 15/01/2024 09:26

That was 30 years ago!! We’ve heard his voice loads since then.

TippiHedrin · 15/01/2024 09:31

I really like Daisy Haggard's voice when she's the mum in Hilda

David Draiman. Disturbed.
Him singing sound of silence makes me go weak at the knees 😀

Yes, the range in his voice is fantastic. Gives me goosebumps.

Perfect diction and wonderful tones.

I love Mackenzie Crook's soft gentle voice.

My husband. He does guided tours and I play his tapes if he's ever away for very long as they seem more intimate than phone calls especially as we're over 70 and slightly hard of hearing,Smile though we did used to have very lengthy phone chats in the 1960/70's when apart due to different places for further education.
