Andrew Cotter, yummy, and he loves dogs?

Richard Burton reading Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood.

Emma Kirkby singing medieval or baroque songs.

Oh yes. I saw Emma Kirkby live once. She sang Schubert and Handel - not at all what I expected!

Going back a bit, I loved Peter Pears’s voice. It was so human and intimate. I saw him live, too.

Charley Rich the list is endless.

Scott Walker Charley Pride a deep toned voice is irresistible.

For me it's the voice of the man in my local library who would often ring in the afternoon to tell me my book was in. Even my DH remarked on his voice. He has the added bonus of looking like Hugh Jackman. Not seen him for 18 months! Famous voices - James Stewart and Richard Burton.

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.

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

Ooh yes, and Rachel Walker singing Gaelic songs.

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.

Another one here for Alan Rickman. Sadly missed ?

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

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

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’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.

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 loved Scott Walker's voice even as a teenager.

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.

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.

Yes Barry White what a voice!

Who could forget the Love Walrus, Barry White? ?

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.

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.
