People with deep voices

Your list is way too long to process (especially without context - I would only know 2/4 of the people I thought of by their names rather than by characters they played or band they were in) lol. But I did my homework, and 3/4 of the names I thought of were already listed either by you or someone else on the first page.

But you might find it illuminating, in the absence of new names, to see what comes to the mind of people off the cuff. For me, I immediately thought of

Michael Clarke Duncan

The Tick: Patrick Warburton (live) and Townsend Coleman (animated)

Crash Test Dummies (Brad Roberts)

For what it’s worth, my voice is highly variable, but once in college when I was working retail, I was particularly relaxed due to fatigue, and after ringing up a customer, was told I should read audiobooks.

Brian Stokes Mitchell
Placido Domingo

A guy I used to work with. He had a voice like Johnny Cash. When he’d get on the PA and make announcements, we said it was like hearing God talking to us.

There’s a bunch of people on the OP’s list that don’t have particularly deep voices, so I’m a but mystified.
My addition is Orville “Hoppy” Jones, the bass voice of the Ink Spots. You can listen to him here, at about 1:40 into the Song “I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire”, doing the spoken word portion.

I don’t know the actor’s name, but he played Mayor Carcetti’s aide on The Wire. His voice was not only deep, but mellifluous. I believe that’s the first time I’ve used that word in a sentence.

Bill Hadley of The Righteous Brothers.

I want to play

Here’s a nice mid range piece of mine. LINK Deepest note at 1:20 :slight_smile:

Not the deepest, but deeper than many on the radio: William Elliot Whitmore. Here’s another sample: him singing “Johnny Law”.

No love for Alan Rickman? (youtube link to him reading poetry)

No, no, no. You need Tay Zonday’s version:

The voice of NFL Films: John Facenda. (Narrating a piece on Vince Lombardi.)

The late Peter Steele (Type O Negative) Christian Woman

I think Sampiro’s singing sounds remarkably like Stan Rogers.

Tennesee Ernie Ford

and

Billy Ward of the Dominoes.

I’m not finicky. Actually, now that I think about it, I should have made my list shorter for two reasons: to keep people from being overwhelmed, and to show people exactly the kinds of voices that I like.

Reg E. Cathey, my good man.

I find his voice a bit oily and nasally. Otherwise, it’s quite sensual.

Anyone else?

Kelsey Grammer? I’m listening.

Last night I dreamed about… Harvey Fierstein. My subconscious must like this thread. I HOPE that’s all this means.

Whatshisname that played Gob on Arrested Development.
