The voice you would like to lull you to sleep .

Terry Wogan. Lovely dulcet Irish tones and still very much missed.

Paul O'Grady had a nice speaking voice

Ken Bruce

Another vote for Roger Allam.

My late husband’s. Alas

David Olusoga, I could listen to him reading a shopping list......................

Richard Burton without a doubt. And any other welsh male voices. For music: Matt Munro singing "On Days Like These"

Michael Sheen

SuperTinny

That's the one I've been trying to remember!

Also there is a chap who draws lovely little cartoons on YouTube who speaks the voices really gently and many people have commented on his voice. If you dont mind an American accent, have a look. I'll put a link in the next post.

Did you watch the Parkinson interview with him that was repeated on ( I think) BBC4 last night?

Available on BBC Sounds for three more days.

And no classics music. I’m surprised how often people choose eight records and not one classical piece.
I’m afraid they go down in my estimation.
I would have pop too, so not prejudiced.

James Mason.
Steve Allen.

Alec Guiness - what a wonderful voice! It would be a pity to fall asleep and miss him speaking.

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

Thank you!
We must be careful not to wear him out.

Steve Allen???? Thank goodness he isn't on any more.

David Davis from Children's Hour. You can still hear him on YouTube.

Nobody famous but just my late husband talking gently to me and holding my hand. That’s just a dream though.

Does anyone use Calm? Lots of voices reading lots of stories. As well as meditation, music and natural sounds. I’ve learnt a lot as I prefer the non fiction tales but rarely get to hear the ending! I used to prefer male voices but now find I gravitate to females with a slight Indian accent.
