The voice you would like to lull you to sleep .

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

James Mason.
Steve Allen.

Kate1949 Cillian Murphy was on Desert Island Discs on Radio 4 on Sunday 11th February

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.

Michael Crawford singing 'Music of the Night' from Phantom of the Opera ❤

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

Goodness gillyjp, I’ve seen Phantom of the Opera, and that would give me nightmares!

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

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.

Michael Sheen

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

My late husband’s. Alas

Another vote for Roger Allam.

Ken Bruce

Paul O'Grady had a nice speaking voice

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

David Essex or Mike Nesmith from the Monkees.

Cillian Murphy. His voice reading on the Calm app used to send me to sleep in minutes! Fabulous!

I prefer my queenie cat who has a deep, loud contralto purr - if she was human she would have the right voice to sing "Qui sedes ad dexteram patrem" from Bach's Mass in B minor.

My ex had a fabulously rich voice.
Like dark chocolate.
