Who is your Narrator?

[Doclector]

Depends what I'm reading. If it's my usual horror reading, then it's usually gandalf in some kind of very morbid mood, or sometimes alan wake because I've played and replayed it enough for his voice narrating things has become stuck in my head.

If it's comedy, it'll usually be Stephen Fry, and if it's non fiction it'd usually be myself, though on occasion Alan Wake can pop in again.

 

[Kedgeree]

For me it would most likely be John Bell: I just wonder if I should keep the sarcasm.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

The guy who does the voiceovers from Jack FM.

That condescending tone of his does wonders for my low self-esteem.*

[small]*This sentence is for comedic purposes only.[/small]

 

[Bananahs]

Christian Bale Batman.

Yeah I've gone death.

 

[ckam]

Morgan Freeman, or maybe the guy that voices Kyon.

 

[BoxCutter]

David Attenborough

 

[pauloalbatross]

Don LaFontaine - he's the guy that did every film trailer ever until he died in 2008 (more than 5000) - the voice described as "a deep voice that sounds like a seven-foot-tall man who has been smoking cigarettes since childhood"

*edit* either him or Morgan Freeman (http://xkcd.com/462/)

 

[Xombiebubble]

dubbed? i avoid dubs but english Haruhi voice actors are not as grating as english actors tend to be. but Kyon is in a sense a narrating character.

 

[Redweevil]

Christopher Walken, regardless of what i'm reading.

Wow that must be really weird when reading.

Sadly just my voice I think, but it would be so cool to have Ron Perlman in my head

Edit: Actually I'd love to have the voice of John Hurt narrating

 

[Nukey]

Aurelio Voltaire Hernández, the majority of the time.

For those unaware of who this man is, listen to the man singing:

 

[Jonatron]

My own voice. Luckily it's a damn good one though!

 

[Mr.Napier]

its hard to tell from the other voices I hear.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Liam Neeson.

Either him or Tim Curry. Depends on how I'm feeling.

 

[HitsWithStyxx]

Nathan Fillion. Laid back, but fully literate and eloquent.

 

[Shapsters]

... when you read text you hear other peoples voices? I just... read text :S

As for life Narration, James Earl Jones. Morgan Freeman seems like the obvious choice but James Earl Jones just has a wonderful voice.

 

[Captain Pirate]

Good news everyone! I will be your narrator as you read this very sentence!

Haha, nice one, I totally walked into that one.

Mine's usually my own voice. Or sometimes a character in a book I envision them to sound like. Which is usally similiar to me...
Sometimes Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi visits my naratorial section though.
Also sometimes Ian McKellen. Go have your Morgan Freeman's and your Stephen Fry's, you know Gandalf is king.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Usually mine, although my mental voice tends to acquire accents from time to time. If it's a well known catchphrase I'm reading, I 'hear' the voice of the person to whom the catchphrase belongs. If it's a novel, the characters tend to get different voices. The male lead gets my voice though. Sucks to be him.

 

[_Cake_]

The guy who does the Harry Potter books on tape.

 

[flakemunchar]

Just my own right now. I should work on making it Liam Neeson.

 

[Mr. Omega]

That movie voice over guy from the trailers. He makes everything epic.
