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

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

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.?

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

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

Or at least go all gooey over one?
My mum used to love listening to the actor Alan Badel on the radio - his smooth tones absolutely “sent” her grin
I was dozing in bed last night to last weekend’s “Golden Age of Broadway” Prom on BBC Sounds - songs from all my favourite musicals but woke up to hear Clarke Peters (the actor) singing This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific. What a beautiful rich, smooth deep voice he has, like a mug of Hôtel Chocolat cocoa, and I was well away!
If you are interested it’s about 38 minutes or so in, on last Saturdays Prom on BBC Sounds
