David Bowie Ewan MacGregor Brandon Sexton III um, Brian Warner? there’s this one Australian actor that only caught my attention b/c of his deep voice; too bad I don’t remember his name. ---

You youngsters…Leo DiCaprio :rolleyes:?! The most beautiful male speaking voice in the universe belonged to the late Mark Lenard. I use that phrase because, although his early career was quite distinguished Off-and-On Broadway, it was as Spock’s father Sarek on STAR TREK that he’s chiefly remembered. Here’s a Sarek page with some .wav files: [http://www.sherylfranklin.com/sarek.html](http://www.sherylfranklin.com/sarek.html) The overtones alone…I really miss him and am so glad I got a chance to meet him at a convention in 1991. A fine, witty, keenly intelligent gentleman. Carolyn Former ST groupie ---

No one compares to him. He is everything that is sexy. I have been absolutely infatuated with him since 1997 when I saw Gattaca. He is forever mine, and I am forever his, whether he knows it and/or likes it or not. I would give almost anything to meet him. No, change that to just plain anything. ---

Ok, I just know a guy named Brian Warner who spends about half the year in Florida. Thought it might me a weird coincidence. I wouldn’t call his voice sexy, but there’s no accounting for taste. –John ---

I am turned on by somewhat deeper voices. Sometimes the scratchiness gets me. ---

I also have to vote for Kathleen Turner, too. The redhead on _That 70’s Show_ (sorry, her name escapes me) also has a great voice. Ewan McGregor definitely has got it… what is it about that Scottish accent that gets us girls so googly? ---

I’d have to say Emo Phillips. But seriously, folks, even _I_ get turned on be Garrison Keillor’s (Prairie Home Companion on Sundays on National Public Radio). His voice is like hot chocolate for the ears. ---

Clearly, the woman with the sexiest voice is Elizabeth Hurley. Not only does she have a great voice, but that accent is divine. ---
