Holly Hunter–aka Elastigirl. A voice like warmed honey. ---

James Earl Jones! Second choice: Seth McFarlane, in all his voice-changeable glory. =p ---

Either Morgan Freeman or David Attenborough. Preferably I could have both and switch to one or the other using a switch. ---

A second for Alan Rickman. That would amuse me every single moment. Or I’d go with a randomized 50 awesome accents. ---

Either Colin Meloy, lead singer of The Decemberists or Nick Rhodes, the keyboard player for Duran Duran. Third choice would be Alan Rickman, but then I’d never leave the house. ---

Another Stephen Fry fan, although it would make my house sound smater than me. If I can’t get smart house, I’ll go with evil house featuring Christopher Lee. ---

Hugh Laurie, doing his House M.D. character. So house and I could have heated debates over what the proper course of action should be, and since it is my house, I’d (sometimes) get to win. ---

Definitely Alan Rickman, but only if the house is depressed and has a brain the size of a planet. I’d like David Attenborough too, or Majel Barret or Elizabeth Hurley. ---

Nobody had a set of pipes like Gielgud, but if I’ve got to poop while the house is listening, I want it to be June Foray, as Grandmotherly as possible. ---

David Sedaris for everyday use. Gordon Ramsay for times when I want to get something done but am goofing off.
