A generic, deep, old man type voice. Kinda like the typical Santa voice when he says “Ho ho ho.” And not when whiny old Father Christmas says it, either. ---

God has a voice? Oh yeah, I guess… JC has a normal pleasant voice. The other Persons don’t speak physically (voices from burning bushes aren’t caused by said bushes growing a mouth). When dubbed into Spanish, burning bushes should have the voice of Constantino Romero in his everyday speaking voice (even deeper than his “deep professional voice”, that guy takes Basso Profundo and brings it a few kilometers closer to the Earth’s center). ---

If I had to pick from the list I’d want Alan Rickman as my god’s voice. But no George Burns? No irritated deity commanding Arthur, King of the Britons to get the grrrrrail? No Alanis Morrissette? ---

Like water or the air we breathe, the voice of God is totally familiar and virtually indescribable. Profound and yet intimately recognizable once we listen, capable of extreme gentleness and awesome power. His voice sounds like Himself, not like anything He created. Just sayin’. ---
