Can you “fall in love” with a voice?

But read all the comments but has anyone mentioned Morgan Freeman? I could listen to him forever!!!

Right with you Muse on AR’s voice!

Oh yes, he has one of the best voices!

Similar to Bluebell and others the head librarian in the university where I lectured was a lovely lady, very tall nearly 6' in height, slender and very like Joyce Grenfell yet she had this fabulously husky sexy (50 fags a day) voice, every man who spoke to her on the phone was smitten. We were all young and used to wait for their crestfallen look whenever they actually met her face-to-face.

Yes, fell in love over the phone with the chocolate smooth tones of a man I later came to work with. No the looks did not match the voice......much to both his embarrassment and amusement....he was well aware of the effect on women he spoke to!! However his character did, so yes I did fall in love with the person too.

Ronald Colman for me... enough said!

Alan Rickman for me too but mostly I just love listening to David Tennants natural accent I could listen to it for years.

Richard Burton’s voice was the one for me

Be edict Cumberbatch has the most gorgeous, silky voice. (Very handsome too, in my opinion! ) Listening to him read "Ode To A Nightingale" sends shivers down my spine.

Benedict, not Be edict. Stupid predictive text!

Chestnut

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

Me too,Chestnut; me too.....

The three tenors, and Richard Burton. Four voices to listen to, they can go on and on and on.

Alan Rickman lush.

Yes, fell in love with a voice on the phone, 6 weeks of conversations before we met, he moved in 6 months later, we had 16 happy years together before he passed away suddenly and this year would have celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary.

In the early 70s , the man who reminded people to turn their telly off from Granada Television had a lovely voice. His first name was Charles. My Mum and I would reply to his “ If you’re still there , don’t forget to turn off your set. Good night and sleep well.”

I was 16 and had just started my first job. Every morning a man in another department would phone me with instructions for the day. His voice was heavenly - deep, rich, smooth with a hint of humour. I sometimes didn't take in what he was telling me, which of course meant I had to ask him to repeat it. I was absolutely smitten! I wondered what he looked like. I thought he'd probably be old, fat and bald. It was several weeks before I met him, and then I fell in love with the man too! He was tall, handsome, pleasant, interesting and an acceptable age - but best of all he liked me too and asked me out. We had a lot of good times together (still warmly remembered) but eventually went our separate ways, though we remained friends for many years. I can still hear that heart-melting voice when I think of him.

Years later when I met my husband he also had (still has) a lovely voice that I never tire of hearing even when he's repeating something he's told me countless times before!

Andre Bocelli has a lovely singing voice. I once read that if God sang, that is what he would sound like.

I love Roger Allam's voice (Fred Thursday in Endeavour) and Peter Egan's.

BlueBelle

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

Very similar. My first job after uni, used to speak to someone on the phone who sounded so sexy. Later I met him at his retirement party!!

Mawbee, thanks for the link! I loved every minute of those Broadway Hits!

I was flying to the UK one time and the pilot had a lovely friendly voice sayin " Hi I am Simon and am flying you to Heathrow today I hope you enjoy your flight! it was a nice soothing voice, and when I saw him as we were getting off the plane I wasnt disappointed.Havent heard him since, maybe I should check who the pilot is next time.

And I’ve just remembered when Tom Hardy did Jackanory on Valentine’s Day….

When I was at work, my friend was on the switchboard, she used to go all unnecessary when my DH (then my boyfriend) phoned, he has a very deep voice!
