I'm really relieved to hear that. He does come across well. Steve-O has such a weird voice; I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

He's the worst person to have a podcast, his voice is horrible to listen to

It's so odd I find it quite compelling. It's like the aural equivalent of the 'people who are pleasing to look at' thread.

It suits him and is pretty cool for a couple of minutes but listening to him for an hour is brutal.

Which starts, and ends, at Ralph Ineson.

Ah, man. Great-looking lady, lovely smoky voice. Brilliant as Avasarala in The Expanse.

Also, there are loads of great voices out there. Tony Todd, Michael Parks, Aisling Bea, André Braugher, Tony Jay, Jennifer Tilley, Brian Blessed, Mariella Frostrup - there are loads more, just those are off the top of my head. Someone should do a thread.

[Keith Houchen]

Does Herzog appear on this list or is he quite rightly in a class all of his own?

[Devon Malcolm]

Rosie Perez!

Steve-O has a unique timbre most definitely. He sounds like a charismatic bag of gravel. The high rasp. I still he's ace and he looks astonishingly well given he's Steve-O.

Shaquille O'Neal

Cyndi Lauper

The best.

I also love Les Ferdinands voice. A great rich timbre.

[Dr. Alan Grant]

The late, great Stan Lee. Could quite happily listen to him read the phone book, as long as he called me a true believer once in a while.

Keith David? 

Mako had a marvellous voice. 

George Takei has a pretty rich baritone. Bruce Campbell can sound pretty cool at times. 

The late Andre Braugher, Marc Evan Jackson, Nick Offerman has a nice voice. Joey Lauren Adams is in that Jennifer Tilly mode.

We had an "awards ceremony" (aka mass rhubarb rubbing) at work yesterday, and there were bunch of different emcees. The best by a mile was one bloke who sounded like a cross between Ken Howard (the lead in the old show The White Shadow, and later in 30 Rock), Johnny Gilbert (Jeopardy announcer), and John O'Hurley (J. Peterman from Seinfeld). Kind of bloke who could read the phone book and make it sound good.

Anyway, all of the people above had/have tremendous voices.
