People who are pleasing to listen to

[Devon Malcolm]

I already nominated her for the other thread but Anne Ramsay definitely belongs here too.

Pain in the ass!

Kenta Kobashi. It's going to sound crazy here but I met him years ago, and I've seen some press interviews and such, and I found his voice weirdly reassuring.

[Mr_Danger]

I don’t even know why he’d let anyone else do the audiobooks.

[Devon Malcolm]

I don't think anybody's mentioned him so far....

Ken Walton. 

I may have been born years after World Of Sport stopped airing, but I find something nostalgic about his voice. It reminds me of sitting on front of the TV and watching reruns of classic 80's TV game shows and being too young to understand the rules. Just so relaxing and I often find myself putting on a random match when I'm getting ready for bed.

 

[Tim Healys Chutney Spoon]

Few more who I enjoy listening to:

Sid Waddell

Ted Lowe

Murray Walker

Henry Cavill

Harry Carpenter 

[Lorne Malvo]

Watching Seinfeld last night reminded me Jason Alexander has one of the all-time great sitcom voices. 

 

[Browser Brady]

i know someone who has a very pleasing voice, good annunciation , pronunciation and all that… Long story short i think they could potentially get work as a voice actor  …

 

Anybody know how you go about getting into that business or line of work ?
 

[Carbomb]

I'd never heard Mike Chioda speak before. Great, craggy voice.

 

[Statto]

I've mentioned this a bunch of times on here I know, but I once had a 10 minute chat about Serie A with Mike Chioda in a bar in Memphis. He does indeed have a cracking mob enforcer voice, even when talking about Totti et al.

1993/94 Björk is the most I’ve ever fancied a celebrity. She was my main teenage crush at the time.

I could listen to her music all day, she’s my all time favourite artist, but just hearing her speak in her native tongue is just a joy.

That said, I still might just prefer when she’d randomly switch between her natural accent and a British one.

And a little bonus as she takes a TV to bits.

Phwoar.

The one where she talks about the tv came up as a suggested ASMR video a few years back and I can see why. It’s nice and calming. I then went down a rabbit hole of videos of Bjork talking and she’s wonderful. 

[Hugh Thesz]

Steve Wright, Kirsty Young and Arthur C Clarke.

I find all three to have not soothing voices but one who grabs attention.

[gmoney]

Stephen Wright.
