Will Arnett for sure! I’m not certain if he’s speaking with his real voice half of the time, it sounds a little “learned” but definitely works for me 🙂 ---

Another vote for Kes. If I were to wake up in sickbay to discover an alien is about to burst out of my abdomen, all I’d need is Kes’ voice to reassure me everything’s going to be OK. And sexy. Contrast that to waking with a cold, but with Tom “Proton” Paris as your physician. :eek: ---

Counting down my top 3 3) Pretty much every Australian actress when not speaking like an American 2) Monica Bellucci 1. Angie Harmon… I don’t know why her breathy whiskey voice has such a hold on me, but it has since she was on Law and Order. ---

Fran Drescher. To be honest, I’ve never found a single woman’s voice to be sexy. ---

Jude Law. Oh, my knees go weak. If I had lots of money, I’d ask a British man (RP of course) to record my GPS. Only problem I can see is I’d keep disobeying it to hear more. “Turn left…here” “Recalculating.” “Recalculating.” “Recalculating.” “Recalculating.” 😃 There’s a scene in Knights of the Old Republic where this RP-speaking Sith tells you not to get in the elevator in the hottest voice ever. “You are not authorized to use this elevator.” I go back like 20 times, every time I pass by. “Oh, tell me I’m not authorized.” Yeah. Of course I love Cumberbatch, too. ---

> [@Fear\_Itself](#): > > Lauren Bacall, at age 18, in _ **To Have And Have Not** (1944)_: Damn straight. Her voice says: that was great, and it will be even better when you’re ready to go again. Emma Stone would be my choice if not picking some 85 year old woman. Not that is any less creepy. Same reasons. ---
