Just a sucker for a pretty voice~

I've always been attracted by accents and interesting voices--maybe it harks back to having lived in another country and being exposed to accents at an early age. Don't know.

Kai Ryssdal and a lot of NPR radio personalities have voices that I can get lost in.

I've been told before that I have a voice for radio. I can't say that I agree, but that's what happens, I suppose, when we hear ourselves inside our skulls and there's that discrepancy when we hear ourselves on recordings.

I also like Peter Segel on Wait, Wait don't tell me. He always sounds so fun and happy.

I'm glad you're winding your way through the treatments. I know you wish they were over! *hugs*

I love David Tennant's voice! He does some of the Spy in the Wild on PBS and he sounds so good! Cumberbatch narrated South Pacific (documentary) and I didn't even recognise his voice! :)

Have you seen the vids on youtube from Graham Norton show and some other talk shows where BC talks about mispronouncing penguin? Very funny.

[sc_fossil]

I haven't seen it but I like Graham Norton!

Alan Rickman's is the voice for me - deep and British *g*

Glad to hear your treatments are going well. Hugs!

[dawnebeth]

Oh, yes. Miss-terrr Pot-terrr. Loved him since Die Hard, which I recently found out was his first film. What an entrance into movies!

[merentha13]

I like Die Hard as well - but he always goes out that window at the end! My favorite movie of his was in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. (and have you seen Truly, Madly, Deeply? He stole Juliet Stevenson from MS!)

[dawnebeth]

Ah, Truly, madly, Deeply. Loved it--we saw it in the original run in a teeny theatre, probably only seated 75 people. My two friends and I, sitting in the middle of the theatre. And one other person, a woman who sat directly behind us and sobbed hysterically through the entire movie!

I'm glad the treatments are going well. My fingers are crossed for you (which explains my typing...)

Yeah, Jeffrey Deavers has lost the plot. Good for you for sticking him out as long as you did.

Stephen Fry. Or maybe Sam Elliot.

[dawnebeth]

Stephen Fry is awesome.

I decided to finish the Deavers, but he definitely isn't interested in Rhymes and Sachs any longer. They haven't actually had a conversation in the entire book and they're supposed to be getting married!

[myhnabird]

Unfortunately, Mr Deavers writes as though he's far too enamoured of his own prose. Many things will pull me out of a story but this is a first for "author vanity". Pity, as Rhymes was an interesting character in the first book.
