I have been thinking about this . I have my Alexa device read one of my kindle books each night but given the choice of a voice I would love Kirsty Young or Ken Bruce.
By the wy I am loveing Kirsty's podcasts called " Young Again " on BBC sounds .

Wilfred Hyde White has my vote .
I love his voice .
And that of James Hayter .
I don't know if either of them recorded some poems .

David Olusoga, he has the most gentle, soporific voice.
Jeremy Irons, loved his voice-over in Brideshead Revisited.

I could nod off with Alan Rickman too, GrandmaBatty.
Would you share?

Oh definitely Michael Dorn. He's got a lovely voice!

The voice that actually does lull me to sleep every night belongs to the guy on my meditation app, either working through some gentle breathing and relaxation exercise or telling some little tale for me to visualise
I agree with yggdrasil about Sailing By, it’s a really beautiful piece of restful music.

Strange thing to say but in the way of non-human voices, I'd have to go for the Pika, a small mountain-dwelling mammal native to Asia and North America. They've got such beautiful little squeaky voices!

Human - got to be John de Lancie who was Q in Star Trek.

The wind in the chimney and imagining what they are saying

Ixion. Seeing as it's you, ok. I'll share him. 😂

My mother singing ‘Speed bonny boat’ (the Skye Boat song), my childhood lullaby. She had the most exquisite voice

My mum or dad’s voice but sadly they have died .

The voice I've heard almost every night for almost 49 years.My lovely OH who loves to talk about all kinds of everything when we're snuggled up for the night .On the odd night we've been apart he phones so he's the last voice I hear before sleep.

Alan Rickman. Loved his voice ❤️

GrammarGrandma Sat 09-Mar-24 12:15:56

Another vote for Alan Rickman.

Al Ryan, the Irish announcer who often reads the shipping forecast at 12.45 am on Radio 4. Worth staying awake for.

Delila Sat 09-Mar-24 12:24:00

Yes, Paddyann, Mr. D’s Irish accent for me too - there’s something about the Irish 😉

MaggsMcG Sat 09-Mar-24 12:25:02

David Tenants natural accent.

Bazza Sat 09-Mar-24 12:25:07

The man reading the shipping forecast from my childhood.
