Actors with great Voices

[EnriqueH]

BESIDES James Earl Jones...whose speaking voice do you admire?

I've always been a fan of Ricardo Montalban's classy, precise yet undeniably Latin flavor whenever he spoke.

Keye Luke

Bruce Lee (that's his voice you hear in Enter the Dragon and The Green Hornet, not in his Hong Kong flicks which were dubbed by other voice actors)

Philip Ahn

Patrick Stewart

 

[CorporalClegg]

I've always loved Michael Cain's voice.

And Lauren Bacall, of course.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

My favorite actor of all time: Vaughn Armstrong.

 

[shivkala]

Morgan. Freeman.

Oh, also Alan Rickman.

But, it's annoying me. I was watching something with my son recently and commented on someone whose voice I loved hearing, but now I can't think of it!

Morgan Freeman did play God in a movie. Perfect casting choice.

Other actors who I like:

Tom Hanks
Patrick Stewart
Helen Mirran
Maggie Smith
Alan Rickman

 

[shivkala]

Still wondering who I thought of, but someone else I like is James Spader. Good casting choice for having him voice Ultron. "There are no strings on me," was chilling.

I've always loved Michael Cain's voice.



And Lauren Bacall, of course.

YES YES YES!!!

That's bloody marvelous!

 

[Timewalker]

BRIAN BLESSED!

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Phil Hartman

 

[Sto-Vo-Kory]

Edward Herrmann, who sadly passed away earlier today.

 

[Keith1701]

Morgan Freeman did play God in a movie. Perfect casting choice.

Other actors who I like:

Tom Hanks
Patrick Stewart
Helen Mirran
Maggie Smith
Alan Rickman

I would agree,
Patrick Stewart
Leonard Nimoy
Tom Hanks

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Since we had a thread about him a while back, I'll add Mark Hamill.

Lots of voice work in animated shows, almost always indistinguishable as Mark.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

Percy Rodrigues had a voice that could mesmerize me or scare the #%^* out of me.

Brother Theodore did both simultaneously.

Mark Lenard had a great speaking voice.

Mark Lenard and Percy Rodrigues did an episode of Planet of the Apes called "The Tyrant. Two beautiful voices doing most of the acting coming from behind heavy masks.

Besides Lauren Bacall, other ladies with husky, smoky voices: Sally Kellerman, Lizabeth Scott, Lauren Hutton, Joan Greenwood.

On the male side: Raymond Massey's rich, plummy baritone. Jack Palance's throaty growl, perfect for telling spook stories. And the late, great Geoffrey Holder.

 

[Push The Button]

Not an exactly an "actor", but pro-wrestling commentator and interviewer "Mean Gene" Okerlund has a great voice.
