Actors with great speaking voices

[unassuming]

I like an actor with a deep voice that resonates, whenever they speak, they steal the scene.

Here is my top 5:

1- Walter Pidgeon
2- Gregory Peck
3- Lee Marvin
4- Alan Rickman
5- James Earl Jones

Christopher Walken
James Woods
Anthony Hopkins
Jack Nicholson
Ray Romano
Michael Caine

 

[shack]

Arnold.

 

[Jasmina]

Samuel L. Jackson
Terence Stamp
Timothy Dalton
Sir Ian McKellen

 

[superstar_88]

This is going to be a very long list

 

[mrcheeks]

Morgan Freeman.

 

[bazokajoe]

Not an actor but Ken Burns from many PBS documentaries.

 

[Gooseifur]

Morgan Freeman.

This

 

[jarhead]

Sean Connery, Alex Trebeck, Will Ferrell, Peter Coyote,

 

[KTDoy]

Matthew Mconohey

 

[Indiana]

I find Tom Hank’s voice to be pleasant and comforting.
I he becomes the new go-to guy after Morgan Freeman passes.

David Ogden Stiers(Winchester on MASH)
Strother Martin(movies like Slap shot and cool Hand Luke)
Joe Pesci (Goodfellas, Casino)
Jennifer Tilley

Christopher Plummer
Christopher Lee
Patrick Stewart
Ben Kingsley
Jeremy Irons

and the most unusual voice is Jeff Goldblum

David Ogden Stiers was terrific on the New York documentaries from Ken Burns.

 

[Don Draper]

1. Yves Montand
2. Ronald Colman
3. Vincent Price
4. Zhou Xun

....and of course, the G.O.A.T.

[SIZE=+2]One, Mel Blanc[/SIZE]​

Let’s not forget Peter O’toole. Another great voice is tough guy Canadian actor Michael Ironside. You can also mention two late, great Canadian actors: John Vernon and Lorne Greene (the voice of doom back in his CBC days).

 

[Insidious Von]

Patrick Stewart is losing his golden timbre, age is catching up with him.

Orson Wells had an incredible voice. David Fincher's Mank is still scheduled to be released during American Thanksgiving, Gary Oldman plays the title character. Whether the film is a hit or bomb will depend on Tom Burke reproducing Wells timbre.

 

[wigglee]

Peter Ustinoff
James Earl Jones
Tom Jackson
Lorne Greene
Kathleen Turner

Don't need a top 5, when it comes to great speaking voice: Richard Burton is way, way out on his own as #1.

I'd make up the 5 with Laurence Olivier, Alec Guinness, Burt Lancaster, Robbie Coltrane.

For ladies -- Julie Andrews also out on her own as #1.
