Favorite Voices In Hollywood

[civiclx]

Mods can move this to Celebs forum if they want. I posted it here since I'm talking about actors and dialogue delivery in films.

Anyway, there's a lot of actors out there with great voices. I have a thing for British accents so my favorites would probably be mostly British actors. First name that pops to my head for me is Ray Winstone. First time I really noticed him was in the trailer for Edge of Darkness.

So who are yours?

[Buscemi]

Keith David, easily.

Mickey Rourke post-boxing career has a great voice too. I'm surprised he doesn't do more voiceover work.

[evilive]

Vincent Price and Bela Lugosi.

[aiman04]

James Earl Jones
Morgan Freeman
Sean Connery

Matt Berry? I know he's not really Hollywood but I'm pretty sure he has the greatest voice on the planet.

For whatever reason, I love Jennifer Tilly's voice. Don't judge me.

Oh, and I can listen to Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley or Gemma Arterton all day every day if necessary.

Tilly's voice is awesome. No judgement here.

Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are where it's at voice-wise. Robin Williams was such a voice-chameleon he has to get a mention.

Sam Elliot and Benedict Cumberbatch are two that quickly come to mind.

There's something distinctive about Tom Hardy's that I like, too.

I really started appreciating Williams Shatner's voice after his "Has Been" album, liking what he brought with his experience as an actor to his reading/delivery on that collection.

[spanky87]

Piper Laurie.

Ben Stein. Close thread.

[MJD64]

Did any contemporary actress have a sexier voice than Kathleen Turner in her prime?

[Michael24]

Alan Rickman, Liam Neeson, James Earl Jones, Sam Elliot.

Elizabeth Hurley, Rachel Weisz, Keira Knightley, Kate Beckinsale.

The British accent (IMO) is the best and sexiest accent.

A couple good ones not mentioned yet is Malcolm McDowell, John Hurt, and the dude who played Roose Bolton on GoT.

Scarlett Johansson
