Can you “fall in love” with a voice?

Actors: Alan Rickman and Matthew Macfadyen definitely send me gooey.

A long time ago I was volunteering for a women’s d v group and had to ring the landlord of the building
His voice was pure velvet and I fell in love, my deputy had to speak to him, again on the phone and she commented that she was weak kneed We had a giggle and then some weeks later we met him in person, he was a very nice man but quite old, very paunchy with a rather large bulbous reddish nose, and very married
We couldn’t help laughing after he had gone

Flying on holiday many moons ago, I fell in love with the voice of the Canadian pilot.? It felt like being wrapped in plush, purple velvet.?

Look Maw, Nat King Cole was the most chochliest...
Another fan of Alan Richman here, waves at muse
Just as an aside ,in my first job, I spoke to one guy a lot on the phone, he sounded funny, articulate and to me, sophisticated
I met him at a Christmas 'do' and he was none of the above

"The name's Bond, James Bond" as spoken by Sean Connery all those years ago. An absolute dreamy delight to listen to - aahh ?

A very ordinary, small man came to my house doing a survey.
Later, he phoned for a follow up and what a wonderful voice he had on the phone, that I completely hadn't noticed in person.

I heard my husbands voice long before I met him in person and I really wanted to meet him in person to see if I liked him as much as his voice, turned out I did lol.

Who could forget the Love Walrus, Barry White? ?

Yes Barry White what a voice!

Alan Badel's voice was wonderful, so was the unforgettable Alan Rickman. One of the first things that attracted me to DH was his voice and I never got tired of it.

Same for me tanith. I knew my DH 54 years ago but we lived far away from each other so the relationship was short lived. We met again (over the internet) through a colleague of his, 10 years ago. Before we arranged to meet, we rang each other quite often for nearly a month. He has a lovely deep rich voice. Not how I remembered it from 1968 though. I love to hear him sing.

Barry White’s singing voice, and Michael Johnson’ s speaking voice. Both remind me of rich velvet.

I loved Scott Walker's voice even as a teenager.

When I was about 17 I worked in a London office. The female staff were all agog when an American with a very distinctive drawl, was coming into the office in person!

He was “old” - probably at least 30! Wearing a complete mish mash of clothing. Trousers, jacket, shirt and tie all in different checks and stripes, plus a droopy moustache.

I wonder what he made of the crowd of females in the tiny reception area. I hope our disappointment wasn’t too obvious.

I’ll have to put my thinking cap on with regard to a voice but Oh that was such a lovely Prom. Took me right back to singing along to my parents’ LP collection.

Google tells me there's a Michael Johnson who's 1/ an American athlete 2/ a footballer and 3/ an American mixed martial arts arthlete! Basically I don't know any of them, so I'm not sure which one sounds like rich velvet.

I just have a meltdown when I hear Sean Bean. Have I spelled that correctly?

Another one here for Alan Rickman. Sadly missed ?

I once fell for a voice. I heard him before I saw him, just talking at a party, and fell in love - or so I thought, I was completely bewitched. I got to know him and we did go out for a few months, but it was never really satisfactory. In the end I realised a voice was not enough. He was an interesting man though, and I remember him with some affection.

At the moment I am listening to an a audiobook of Jeremy Irons reading Brideshead Revisited. He has a wonderful voice.

Ugly voices put me off, however nice the person is.

Lee Hazelwood singing ‘Summer Wine’.

?

Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood.

Emma Kirkby singing medieval or baroque songs.

Ooh yes, and Rachel Walker singing Gaelic songs.

My daughter used to be in love with the male voice announcing train times at Birmingham New Street station.

Many years ago my dh andi had an accountant who i hadn`t met.
We spoke over the phone and i loved his voice.
After a few years i had to drop some papers to him in a hurry,i was so excited to meet the "voice" i was gobsmacked when he rolled out in a wheelchair was obese/bald as a coot and stank of cigars.
I couldn`t help but laugh when we finished our meeting.
We still spoke on the phone for some years and i still loved his voice.
And Sean Connory`s voice is just lovely.
