Let's Talk About Ceps
Who has (or had) the best voice? I mean their regular speaking voice, not singing/rapping etc.
I had a really long, interesting dream last night (which I can't remember at all now, it goes without saying) that involved William Burroughs. Pleasingly, he spoke in my dream exactly as he did in real life; a sort of thoughtful drawl, authoritative (not authoritarian, of course, I mean in the sense of sounding like he knows a good deal about what he's talking about), louche, sardonic with a wry, even playful undertone. And veeery croaaaky.
Other great voices:
Lauren Bacall - husky, smoky, sexy...just amazing. Few people have a voice that suit they way they look quite like she did (and still does, I expect - not seen her in anything recent).
James Earl Jones - an obvious pick, but just so good to listen to.
Moira Stewart - soothing with a mild sibilance. If you had to be told some really bad news, you could do worse than have it broken to you by Moira.
Your picks?
