Hmmm. Rene Zelweger (sp?). Though I’m sure I’m saying this mainly because I think she’s insanely cute. Kirk Hammet?! **Kirk Hammet**?! I love Metallica, but man, I never would have pegged Hammet’s voice as being sexy. I’ve always thought it was rather effeminate. ---

Anyone listened to Carrie Fisher’s voice lately (and even as early as Return of the Jedi?) Yowza. Also, Roma Downey from Touched by and Angel. Can’t stand the show, don’t care for the new-agey-pseudo-Celtic album she put out, but I could listen to her read the phone book…and then there’s Sarah McLachlan… As for guys I wish I could sound like, Sean Connery (whom I do a passable impression of), Liam Neeson, or Hugh Jackman, the Aussie who played Wolverine in X-MEN. My wife got shivers listening to him. ---

I’ve always thought it was rather effeminate. I agree… But hey, to each his and her own, I guess. Speaking of Metallica, I already mentioned Hetfield, but my friend decided to give her two cents when we were discussing this topic offline today: she said she likes the “monster voice” Jason Newsted does in the background of songs. ---

I agree with those who listed, among the men: Rupert Everett, Frank Langella, and Alec Baldwin. I also like Bruce Willis (so sue me), Lawrence Fishburne, and my all-time voice hottie, Harry Connick Jr. As for the ladies, yes to: Alex Kingston, Rene Zellweger, Cathy Moriarty, Lauren Bacall and Kathleen Turner. I’d like to add Sharon Stone and Gates McFadden. I’m sure this is an incomplete list and I’ll surely think of more later . . . ---
