    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 :D ).

    David Attenborough. i could listen to him all day. its like your grandfather telling you the nicest stories ever on nature. i have lots of his shows on dvd and i love them. his voice is the best !!

    There's also John Motson, the commentator for BBC on Match of the Day.

    Edit: Also while Im on the topic off BBC, I love how Jermey Clarkson so enthusiastically talks about and describes cars.

    "This is the Lamborghini Murcielago" :D













    I know you read that in a Jermey Clarkson voice.

    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.

    :D Well, i wouldn't regard him as a great singer...but i'm sure some do.
    Also, his stammer has nothing to do with the quality of his voice.
    There may be exceptions to the rule, though...
