People with ridiculously awesome voices when they talk.

[ribonuge]

This applies to voice actors or someone who you think sounds great when they vocalise. Sure this thread isn't dripping with discussion but I am not in the mood for one. "Bwuuuuh!?" you might say, "Not in the mood for discussion!?". Yes that is correct I am not. Anyway who knows, perhaps something worth talking about will arise from this barren wasteland of meaninglessness.

So this is my contribution to this fun list of awesome voices. It is the intro off of the album "The Outsider" by DJ Shadow. The lyrics were written by Shadow and spoken by Oliver Tobias. It is quite epic.


What be yours?

She isn't famous, indeed she is a regular lass and a good friend. And my god when she talks (over vent usually) it is like being wrapped up in warm cozy hugs. Just her voice gave me a wicked crush - could be happy just to have her read the dictionary....

And no, no I won't share!

BOOMING VOICE-OVER GUY! the one from the movie trailers.

 

[SavingPrincess]

Don Lafontaine (RIP)
Michael Hogan
Steve Blum
Edward James Olmos
Keith David
Heidi Klum
Lucy Lawless (when she's speaking Aussie, not faking American)
Penelope Cruz

 

[SavingPrincess]

... oh and Bruce Campbell =)

 

[SuperUberBob]

Easy one:

 

[Dublin Solo]

Can't seem to find a suitable video for him, but I'd say Keith David. He's the one in "Pitch Black" playing the Imam, among other things. He does some voice acting in Mass Effects 2 and MW2.

And he's the one in the role of Goliath in "Gargoyles", for those who remember that show...

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

David Hayder (you know him better as Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid)
Sid Haig (Captain Spaulding from house of 1000 corpses)
David Draiman (disturbed)

Then it's tied between Michael Buffer, Bruce Buffer and Don LaFontaine

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

Vin Diesel, Lance Henriksen, Keith David...

Pretty much any guy who has smoked too much in the past and will inevitably die painfully from lung cancer all for the sake of having the most awesome voice in history.

Stephen Fry, his voice is like having a velvet finger dipped in warm honey being gently worked around your ear-hole... I said Ear-Hole!
Oh and Rebecca Mayes, to quote a Youtube user: "her voice is like cake". : )
EDIT:

She isn't famous, indeed she is a regular lass and a good friend. And my god when she talks (over vent usually) it is like being wrapped up in warm cozy hugs. Just her voice gave me a wicked crush - could be happy just to have her read the dictionary....

And no, no I won't share!

I also know a girl like that! Her voice is amazing, like you said it's like being wrapped up in warm cozy hugs! I thought there only was one in the entire world! xD so you don't need to share... I won't.

Patrick Stewart, I want his vocal cords when he dies.

 

[MR T3D]

i find this thread's lack of James Earl Jones disturbing.

 

[Dublin Solo]

i find this thread's lack of James Earl Jones disturbing.

This quote must and WILL be followed by the mandatory: *Force choke*

EDIT: Of course, I'm not choking anybody. Darth Vader is.

 

[AvsJoe]

I'm really surprised no one has linked XKCD yet.

Jeremy Irons has an awesome voice. Morgan Freeman is still the best though.​

 

[LiquidGrape]

This thread needs more Fry.

 

[The Ultimate 2]

OMG Morgan Freeman, I could hear hear him read the phonebook and I would pay him for it. Either him or Mark Hamiel in his Joker voice.

 

[twaddle]

Sean Connery.

Although this video is not the best topic to hear him speak on.

the best sean conery quote ever
