I have no idea whom she is, but there is a female umpire at Wimbledon (she probably umpires other tournaments, but I only watch Wimbledon), I’m not sure what nationality she is, so English may not be her first language, but she sounds like she’s either asleep or is sooooo bored she can’t be arsed.
“ad. van. tage. <player name>”
I can visualise her rolling her eyes/making a snoring noise as she speaks.
Mitch McConnell, Joe Lieberman, and Sarah Palin are my current trifecta of ugly political voices, especially when Palin does the little tongue click thing. GAH.
Guy Fieri SHOUTS ALL THE TIME.
Julie McCarthy of NPR sounds like she’s doing a Thurston Howell impression, which sometimes amuses me and sometimes annoys me.
From the same station, WINS 1010 AM, John Montone, whose voice is a monotone.
I can’t believe no one said Christopher Walken.
The Deschanel (Zooey & Emily) sisters have nice enough voices but annoying speech patterns.
Adam Savage’s Pirate voice.
I am probably the least manly man you’ll ever find, I have worn my wife’s panties when out of clean underwear(hey the jeans were really scratchy!).
Yet everytime I hear Michael Cera or his apparently seperated at birth twin Jesse Eisenberg talk I want to take them out for some kind of acitivity which will put hair on their chests, it is embarassing for a grown adult of either gender to have so much self doubt.
I guess some people find their mannerisms cute, I find them annoying.
I used to hate hate hate Walken, but over the years, I’ve grown to love his odd-paced. . . delivery. I’ve even taken the position that everything is better with Walken. I’d like to see an on-screen team-up of Walken and Shatner 
If I could do one great celebrity impression, it would be Walken.
Has anyone mentioned Jay Baruchel yet?
Kristen Wiig. It’s part of the reason I never could understand why people thought she was funny.
I think Emily sounds all right, but Zooey gets annoying, because she sounds like a whiny brat. The one time I saw her acting like one (when Craig Ferguson didn’t want to give her the golden mouth organ because she obviously couldn’t play the harmonica), I stopped liking her altogether. Well, no more than any random hot person.
Definitely the guy I sit next to at work. This fellow spends a lot of time on the phone managing a project, and he’s pugnacious and sounds like an idiot because he doesn’t seem capable of varying his speech patterns. Ed has about 6 stock phrases that he uses so repititiously that I swear I could make his calls for him. “Let me say it this way…”; “in a sense”; “Let me spin you back to…”; “I’ve been scratching my head over…”
Jumpin’ Jehosaphat, somebody get me some cyanide before I have to listen to one more phone conversation! :smack:
Triple zombie! A zombie hat trick!
Paula Zahn … host of the crime show On the case with Paula Zahn …
Changes speeds, stresses syllables after long pauses. Every sentence. Wouldnt be so bad if she did it occasionally. To make it sound dramatic I suppose. But it comes off as phoney. Mispronounces words such as ‘immediately’ as Ah-mediately…
A newlywed with a broken hip … … DIIIISSSS … AHHH … ppears.
Fran wasn’t John’s … … … FIIII … RRR … st wife …
As Johns COMMMM …-pooee-sure … … started to CRACK
And she’s not above asking heartless questions of a victim’s family while feigning sympathy, in this style, as in 'How did you feel as you … … WAAA-tched him DIE?"
I don’t care if this name has been mentioned before or not. This voice is soooo grating.
Nan Freisher. Er, Fran Dryshift. The nanny. Not the real nanny - she’s sweet.
Not the nanny with the professor. (Juliet Mills - hubba hubba! I mean, everyone talks about her sister Hayley, but I don’t see the attraction myself.
Did you see Avanti!? And with an English accent, no less. Not that I have anything against a French accent. Although they can get quite nasal.
{lookin’ at you, Jean Reno} Speaking of nasal, how about that nanny woman’s voice. I don’t know if it’s “voice mannerisms” or not, but it is quite annoying.)
That idiot who does “Odd News” on Yahoo. His voice is that of perpetually adolescent male. It must be in his contract to make his voice crack at least twice per video.
Stuart Margolin (Angel from Rockford Files)
When Christopher Walken and William Shatner … share the spotlight, add Jerry … Seinfeld. He also tends … to add unnecessary pauses … when speaking.
Oh, also, Joe Pesci is annoying.
Stuart Margolin was in last week’s (I think it was ) NCIS. His voice mannerisms have softened considerably with age.
Having been a Rockford Files viewer though, I heartily agree with you.
I know this was mentioned earlier, but the Deschanel sister who plays Brennan on Bones has such an annoying voice and method of speaking that it hurts my ears to watch the show. I don’t know if it’s the hesitations in the wrong places, or the droning, but it’s painful. I have never heard her outside of the show, though, so I don’t know if it’s something she has developed for the character, or if it’s her natural voice.
That hemorrhoid Ryan Seacrest and his inspiration, Adenoid voice Casey Kassem.
She’s been mentioned before and will undoubtedly be here again, Fran Drescher.
I was channel surfing once back when Anna Nicole Smith had a tv show. That lasted about 3 seconds once she started talking.
And of celebrities that are generally well though of, I absolutely hated Paul Harvey’s intonation and inflection. I couldn’t change the station fast enough when he started talking.
Heidi Klum. Thank goodness I don’t like that nasty show of hers. She sounds like a cross between Alvin the Chipmunk and Mickey Mouse. Gah!
