> [@Maggie\_the\_Ocelot](#): > > Bandicoot Cumberbum. There is also an audiobook of him reading the memoirs of Casanova. You mean Humperdinck Vandersnatch. Horrible voice. Now Anna Torv in Fringe, much better. ---

I can’t , off the top of my head, think of any Americans whose voice I find particularly sexy. The former, for me. I know that plenty of people find particular foreign accents sexy or attractive, but that’s never been my experience—although there are some British male voices that I might find sexy if I were oriented that way. ---

Seth MacFarlane. Say what you will about his animated shows, but his speaking voice is wonderfully deep and smooth and I would KILL to talk like that instead of my stupid voice. ---

The only voice I’ve had that reaction to is Claudia Black, but I now realize that’s more any woman with that accent and general pitch range. ---

Garrison Keillor has a wonderful voice, but I’m not sure I’d call it sexy – probably because I’ve seen him. My sister had a Cockatiel that would sing and dance whenever Garrison’s voice came on the radio. When Garrison stopped talking (or singing), the bird would just stand there and look dejected. Does sexy to birds count? ---

David McCullough has a great voice, perfect for talking about history, but I wouldn’t call it sexy. ---

The way Jessica Savitch could throw the odd “sh” sound into some of her words was…interesting. Charles Kuralt’s voice could really boom and resonate.
