Since I apparently stirred the pot by reviving filmusicnow’s thread about voices you can’t stand, how about a thread about voices you “could listen to them for hours” as the old saying goes.
Rachel Ward – Early career; Sharky’s Machine, The Thorn Birds (yes, I watched it, and no, I’m not), Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid; that slightly smoky voice was awesome. Don’t know how she sounds nowadays as I haven’t seen anything with her in it in years.
Anne Bancroft, Lindsay Wagner – Likewise, smoky not raspy voices that were very appealing. Sadly as they aged their voices did become raspy, grating, like the lady that answers your doctor’s phone on the weekends (“Can I take a message, Hon?”)
Paul Frees – Has to be one of the most memorable voices of all time. And one of the most versatile.
Vincent Price – So often associated with sci-fi, but a very pleasant sound, fitting Shakespearian roles.

I find it amusing how you got people to comment on the voices they can't stand. But so far nobody has commented on voices they really like. Maybe by putting this on top of the board again someone will comment. But then again maybe they won't, I read the other day that they believe nice guys really finish last, woman and girls want the bad boys. Sad world we live in and it's going down the tubes more each day.
