People with deep voices

Cafe Society

I’m obsessed with people with deep voices for some odd reason, especially men, so I’d like to garner as many as I possibly can so I can watch videos of them and drool. :smack: No, I don’t really drool to them.
I already have a list of some; I will not tell you how many are on there, but there are a lot. :smiley: So if you could name some celebrities with deep voices you know of, that would be quite awesome.
While you’re at it, do me a favor and don’t comment about how weird this topic is. I know full well.

Well, I have these people on my list (and more), so we can rule them out.

There’s a generational touchstone to people between about 35-50: the Nostradamus documentary narrated by Orson Welles. It scared the hell out of all of us- it probably terrified way more people than War of the Worlds did- and those I’ve talked to about it all agree it wouldn’t have been a tenth as effective without Orson’s voice. If Orson said it, then by God it must be true. (He was to the 70s and early 80s what Morgan Freeman is today in the “go to dignified-almost-Shakespearean narrator” department, except where Morgan comes across like a favorite uncle Orson came across like the grandfather who you feared and secretly hated when he visited.)

Sampiro, speaking as a woman, if we all needed further evidence of an inherently unfair universe, it’s the fact that you are gay. (Yeah, like *I *could have gotten you anyway…:rolleyes:)

15

Cue the Rick Roll…

16

Baso profundo Maxim Mikhailov.
