What celebrity voice do you love?
Edited on Mon Jul-18-05 11:34 AM by Shell Beau
A voice that you love to hear. Not necessarily a singing voice.

I love Jack Nicholson, Christian Slater, Kate Hepburn, Cate Blanchett, Bill Paxton, and Morgan Freeman. I also love Eddie Murphy's laugh. It cracks me up.

9. I always wish John Hurt would come over and read me bedtime stories
I love when he narrates documentaries. We could do some other things too after he read me the story, but I guess my husband wouldn't go for it.

20. Sir Richard Burton
That man could have read the yellow pages and I would have just sat there, rapt in enchantment. He narrated a version of War of the Worlds that was nothing short of magical.

51. Patrick Stewart did Porsche commercials in the 90's...great voice.
Porsche's "Are You Listening?" campaign from 1996 (I think) is my personal favorite.

33. I just watched a movie with Edward Norton.
It reminded me of how brilliant of an actor he is!

36. Did you see him in Kingdom of Heaven. I swear I haven't
been so awe-stricken about acting (almost) EVER as watching him in that movie. Brilliant doesn't even describe what he did in that film. There aren't words to describe his talent in that film, "riveting" doesn't do it, nothing describes that man's talent

37. No! I will check that one out though.
It was a movie called The Score with Robert DeNiro and Marlon Brando. Kind of like he did in Primal Fear, he played a mentally disabled character but it was an act, he was really a smart criminal. He plays that character very believably!

38. I will have to watch that one. In Kingdom you will have to
get through some violence (I just closed my eyes through battle scenes as I am so sick of that crap) but Norton is so brilliant in his role, god! It was a far better movie than I ever thought it would be as it told both and all sides of the story, good and bad on both/all sides and it was very well-balanced.

27. Geoffrey Rush, Annie Lenox and Jennifer Saunders
Jennifer Saunders was great as Fairy Godmother, INC in "Shrek 2".
I like Geoffrey Rush and his voice has a sarcastic edge to it, in addition to his brit/aussie accent that turns me on.

I'd turn lesbo for Annie Lenox, and Annie Lenox only, mainly so I could hear her sing all the time.

31. Russell Crowe....
I'm convinced his voice is a major part of why he's made it so big.

Morgan Freeman is the Man, however, when it comes to voices.

Followed by Sean Connery, Gregory Peck, Alan Rickman, Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones. As far as female celebrities - Lauren Bacall is the only one I can think of.

48. Ian McKellen, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman - but not for the accent.
It's the intonations and subtleties. Their voices really ARE their "instruments".
