People with great voices.

Dman001

Do you ever listen to some celebrities and think "Wow he/she has a great voice".

Like Hugh Laurie when he puts on that "accent" in House, Rick O'Shea from 2FM, David Attenborough in all those BBC documentaries (to think Oprah narrated Life in the US) and Michael Caine's British accent.

But Morgan Freeman's voice is just majestic, we all secretly want him to narrate our life (yes I stole that from a Facebook group, sue me ).

Yeah Morgan Freeman's voice is cool.

So is Russ Bray. He's a darts commentator who's famous for having a husky voice.

Type 'Russ Bray 180 Dart' in Youtube, you'll hear it.

I often worry about who will take over from Morgan Freeman when he inevitably dies...

Are there any contenders?

Dman001

Forgot Gerry Ryan actually (RIP), never listened to his show much but always thought he had a great voice for the radio.

Still a great voice imo for the simple fact that it makes you listen. Never said it was awe inspiring

The late Liam Clancy had a wonderful voice; Kurt Cobain also had a beautiful speaking voice.
Not uncommon for those with great singing voices to also have great speaking voices, naturally enough.

I throw out an exemption to the rule.
