Title: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 09, 2003, 09:29:07 AM This is pretty self-explanatory. What actor do you think has the coolest voice?
One that springs to my mind is Paul Winfield. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: raj on July 09, 2003, 09:36:15 AM James Earl Jones
Barry White RIP Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: The Burgomaster on July 09, 2003, 09:45:25 AM A few are:
* GREGORY PECK * JAMES MASON * HUMPHREY BOGART * JOHN WAYNE * ROBERT MITCHUM Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Neville on July 09, 2003, 11:23:32 AM Christopher Lee and James Earl Jones.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 09, 2003, 11:44:15 AM Good voices all. I'd also add Boris Karloff, Vincent Price and Orson Welles.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Evan3 on July 09, 2003, 12:52:38 PM I would also go with....
Jeremy Irons - He has such an evil voice and when actors do animated movies, their voice shines. Irons' Scar certainly stole the show from James Earl Jone's Mufasa George Sanders - He did older movies with a deep baritone pure evil voice, Maybe you will recognize him from All About Eve, Psychomania, or the voice of Sher Kahn, the tiger in Disney's Jungle Book Tom Hanks - No one puts out a groan like him. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Dunners on July 11, 2003, 09:30:11 PM Orson welles
james earl jones barry white isaac hayes bruce campbell sigourany weaver Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Ash on July 11, 2003, 09:33:28 PM I agree on James Earl Jones.
There's another guy with a voice similar to his who does the voice on most Verizon Wireless commercials. Anyone know who he is? Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: timtim on July 11, 2003, 09:46:24 PM CHRISTOPHER WALKEN!
James Earl Jones Gary Busey Sean Connery Ahnold! Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Newt on July 11, 2003, 11:30:23 PM James Earl Jones
Sean Connery Patrick Stewart Oh no. There go my knees again... Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Callysto on July 11, 2003, 11:38:30 PM i would have to say:
Christopher Lambert Clancy Brown Brad Dourif Alec Baldwin Micheal J. Fox Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: BlackAngel on July 11, 2003, 11:44:41 PM With all the obvious ones already mentioned, all I can think of is Vin Diesel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bulls**t, I still can't hear you, sound off like you got a pair. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: JohnL on July 12, 2003, 12:23:28 AM >There's another guy with a voice similar to his who does the voice on most
>Verizon Wireless commercials. I thought Jones did all the Verizon commercials. I also like Keith David, the guy who did the voice for the animated version of Spawn and the head gargoyle on the cartoon of the same name. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Phantom187 on July 12, 2003, 01:34:42 AM Fisher Stevens does the commercials Bravo and came out in "Short Circuit" 1 and 2, "Hackers" and another great B movie called "My Science Project" in which he is very funny.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Tony Smith on July 12, 2003, 02:19:17 AM Brad Dourif, Tim Thomerson
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: yaddo42 on July 12, 2003, 08:22:11 AM My picks, with seconds included for ones already mentioned:
Keith David - he should replace the guy who does the voiceovers for 75% of the movie previews and trailers in America. The "In a world..." guy as he's sometimes called. Richard Boone George Sanders Peter O'Toole Richard Harris Anthony Hopkins Alan Rickman James Coburn Robert Mitchum and the all time king of coolest voices is Toshiro Mifune. Like thunder in the distance at normal tones or a whisper, Like a frieght train bearing down on you when he was enraged. The one voice I wish I had instead of my own. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: ErikJ on July 12, 2003, 09:24:21 AM One for me is Mark Hamill
Just listen to the Joker from Batman the Animated series and tell me if he doesn't fit the bill. I can't believe all of the other characters he's done. It seems like everytime I turn around I'm seeing his name as voice in some cartoon. Michael Dorn is another. I love his voice in documentaries. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: nemo38 on July 12, 2003, 11:22:05 AM Vincent Price for sure. Leonard Nemoys I've always liked (In search of..) And I cant remember the guys name who did the voice in the twilight zone episode "To Serve Man" but his always creeped me out for some reason.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Vermin Boy on July 12, 2003, 12:37:54 PM Rod Serling
Ken Nordine Mel Blanc (or does he count?) Phil Hartman That one comedienne who shows up on Comedy Central every so often, who normally talks in a really squeaky voice, then launches into something completely different when impersonating someone. It's hard to describe, but the effect is totally bizarre. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: JohnL on July 12, 2003, 04:57:07 PM How could I have forgotten?
Tony Todd! Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Neon Noodle on July 12, 2003, 05:59:43 PM There is some guy that narrates at the beginning of teasers and trailers for movies that has a rough, gravelly voice - no idea who he is, but he's got the ability to draw in the crowds
He does the voiceover for the trailer of halloween part 6 (the origin of michael meyers) on the vhs copy of THE CROW - that the one that springs to mind. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Evan3 on July 13, 2003, 12:17:41 AM ErikJ said:

I saw a day in the life of him on Dateline once. I cant believe we have forgotten Sean Connery, what a voice. Especially on celebrity Jeopardy Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 13, 2003, 10:22:03 AM A few that haven't been mentioned are: John Rhys-Davies, Peter Cullen, Jim Cummings, Christopher Plummer, John Forsythe, and David Warner.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Flangepart on July 13, 2003, 03:51:08 PM Brock Peters : Did a great Lord Vader in the radio play of the Star Wars movies.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Callysto on July 13, 2003, 10:23:22 PM Another voice that was not mentioned was one I had forgotten myself.
Ricardo Montalban Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Pumaman1138 on July 13, 2003, 11:57:13 PM Orson Welles had one of the great voices .. check out War of the Worlds .. the radio version .. and he was the Shadow on radio early on
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 14, 2003, 09:54:49 AM He's been dead for a while, but Jim Backus also sounded pretty cool.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Kirk on July 14, 2003, 10:46:59 AM This is waaaay out of left field, but I always liked Truman Capote's voice.
Eddie Deezen certainly qualifies as "unique", I don't know about "coolest". Kirk Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: dean on July 14, 2003, 11:03:54 AM i've always though ed norton has had an interesting voice him and al pacino Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 14, 2003, 01:18:58 PM The names just keep coming: Ted Knight, Gary Owens, Rob Roddy, Lorne Greene, Harry Morgan.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: BoyScoutKevin on July 20, 2003, 02:39:29 PM Male: voice actor, Paul Frees, who could give voice to anything and did for over 40 years.
Female: actress, Amanda Donohoe, with her husky, smoke-filled voice, all she would have to say is "Take off your clothes." And my response: "You're standing on my shorts." Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Anthony on July 21, 2003, 06:02:17 PM I cant believe no-ones mentioned Samuel L. Jackson yet.
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: DAVID KUBLIN on July 21, 2003, 06:22:25 PM MY VOICE>
Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: MOVIEGUY on July 22, 2003, 03:51:35 PM VINCENT PRICE ALL THE WAY. NOW THERE'S A MAN WHO KNEW WHEN TO CHEW UP THE SCENERY !!! AND DON'T FORGET HIS LAUGH ON THE END OF "THRILLER". I ALSO VOTE FOR JOHN VERNON (DEAN WORMER FROM "ANIMAL HOUSE"). HE WAS ALSO THE VOICE OF IRON MAN, AS WELL AS THE NARRATOR OF THE 1960'S MARVEL COMIC CARTOONS. JUST A LITTLE TRIVIA FROM YOUR UNCLE MOVIEGUY.

Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: AndyC on July 23, 2003, 10:27:18 AM Michael Ironside, for sure.

Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: onionhead on July 30, 2003, 07:08:18 PM Thurl Ravenscroft--Kirby in the Disney Little Toaster flicks, also sang "You're a Mean One, Mr Grinch" in How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and continues to be the inimitable voice of Tony the Tiger. What a set of pipes.
Also Boris Karloff, the most distinctive voice in showbiz. Title: Re: Coolest Voice Post by: Ellie on August 05, 2003, 12:58:18 AM Peter Lorre
