But my true vote goes to whoever voiced Yogg Saron.

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?

I'd choose David Draiman and the voice actor of Garret in Thief.

 

[Doctor Insanovic]

Louis Armstrong. Now there's a voice even the most hardcore smoker would be jealous of.

There was a guy in my WoW guild who had an incredible voice, like professional voiceover worthy. Apparently he worked as a vocal coach. Probably not hugely remarkable in itself, but how often do you actually meet people who sound like they should be doing movie trailers? He could do pretty good impersonations too. The only thing is I'm sure it got damn tiresome for him to log on to vent and be instantly bombarded with 'OMG your voice is teh sex' from girls (and a few of the guys) and 'Do your ' from others. Mainly me.

As for more famous people... um, I'm going to go for Rob Brydon, Welsh comedian, not only for his lilting accent but for his great range of vocal tricks. His 'man stuck in a box' is... well, it's a lot better than it sounds.

How has no one said David Attenbrough! His voice IS the natural world if I ever see anything in nature thats truly staggering the great man is whispering commentary in my ear. Plus he has awesome Khakis.

THIS.

My opinion is this:

Morgan Freeman - Black God.
Liam Neeson - White God.
David Attenborough - Nature God.

It fits........

Haha Totally it does fit.

Compare the first speaker (Ann Widdencombe) with the second (Stephen Fry).
- Not only are the latter's ideas more sound, but the way he presents them is impeccable.

 

[scoHish]

Melvin Franklin (deep singer from The Temptations) and James Earl Jones.

 

[Nalbis]

Matt Berry, he simply has one of the best voices ever. Anything that comes out of his mouth is pure gold to me, always has me in stitches.

Not his funniest, but a good example of his voice. Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjOEcoMy2fI&feature=related

 

[him over there]

Why is there no H Jon Benjamin in this thread? This thread needs more H Jon Benjamin. I should probably link some H Jon Benjamin videos in this thread. Did I mention I like him?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKJHiXYTtjQ&feature=related little desynced but it's the voice that counts.

 

[Aris Khandr]

Wow. Five pages, and no one remembers Isaiah Mustafa anymore? I know he was a meme a while back, but his voice is still amazing.

Anyone else I'd list has already been mentioned a few dozen times (Sir Patrick Stewart and Tim Curry especially.)

But seriously, guys...
