IMHO: James Naughtie, especially the Hunt incident Kirsty Young. Broadening it a bit to film and stage, Michael Gambon has a lovely voice, IMO. Reply to this message | Report message

He does indeed, dashed funny fellow too. I can never forget his appearance on Top Gear when he was telling JC that he enjoys winding up journalists. He said he was telling one journalist that he used to be a homosexual but was forced to give it up. "Why?" asked the incredulous scribe. "'Cos it made my eyes water." replied Sir Michael. Priceless! Another voice I could listen to all day is that of Stephen Fry - he could read the phone book out and make it seem interesting. Fenella Fudge (Radio 2 newsreader) has a very sensuous voice. There's many a time I get lost in my own little world when she's on...! Last edited by: Badwolf on Wed 22 Jun 11 at 10:11 Reply to this message | Report message

Yes, Gambon is very good value. A serious operator, but who doesn't take himself too seriously. Re Stephen Fry, I really do want to like his voice, but I find it irritating. Maybe too much of a good thing, IMO. Reply to this message | Report message

The sexiest, nicest voice I've heard on this planet, since leaving the Pleiades in 1952, is Joanna Twist, Who? I hear you ask! well, she is a presenter on bbc radio Cornwall ~ en-gb.facebook.com/joanna.twist Reply to this message | Report message

George Alagiah off BBC news - he sounds sincere. Gordon Burns off NW Tonight; he sounds like a friendly old chap. Darren Reddick off Planet Rock radio - the only nice American accent I've heard. Reply to this message | Report message

I find 5Live drive time's Peter Allen quite soothing but the late Brian Redhead will not be surpassed. Reply to this message | Report message

Or how about another former Today presenter, of whom Redhead disapproved on grounds of sex? Sumo Gregor - as she always scrupulously avoided saying. Reply to this message | Report message

...but the late Brian Redhead will not be surpassed... I met Brian Redhead many years ago in London. For some reason, Selina Scott came up in the conversation. "I know Selina," said Brian. "Selina is a prat." Reply to this message | Report message

Lisa Burke, Sky and Five weather presenter. Lovely soft voice, helped by a truly beautiful Irish lilt. And if I'm being totally shallow (and honest), I find her equally pleasing on a visual level www.youtube.com/watch?v=22PIKEosdpQ Just lovely. Reply to this message | Report message

It's rare to find both though. And surprisingly, I actually noticed the voice first with this one (TV on in the next room). :-) Reply to this message | Report message

>> I met Brian Redhead many years ago in London. >> >> For some reason, Selina Scott came up in the conversation. >> >> "I know Selina," said Brian. "Selina is a prat." Mrs B and I, who have considerable combined experience of the issue, were both convinced that Redhead suffered from bi-polar disorder. It's not uncommon for those so afflicted to succeed in the arts.

It's taken me some time to think about this thread. Fiona Bruce and Julia Bradbury could sound like Lee Marvin for all I care......phwoooor to both ! The presenter I really get the hots for has a lovely voice, a bit on the posh side, intelligence, looks, figure, personality and humour.......Victoria Coren....Double phwooor with extras.

Fern Britton makes a lovely change when standing in for Jeremy Whine on Radio 2. A slightly posh, soft voice. Loved John Peel , especially in his later days when his voice became deeper and more resonant - coupled with that dry deadpan humour, just perfect. Reply to this message | Report message

Wogans gentle lilt is still pleasing, but the most soothing voice came from the late Ray Moore, early morning presenter Radio 2. His rich voice and pleasant manner presented Come Dancing, Eurovision and Miss World in the eighties. Reply to this message | Report message

Peter Day. His business programmes are a must-hear for me. He has the ability to talk to business leaders in their own terms while providing a simultaneous translation for listeners unfamiliar with building on best practice going forward. All in a voice that's distinctive but instantly intelligible. Reply to this message | Report message       1

Agree on Peter Day. I get the podcasts. I visualise him as a sort of MBA tutor! Apparently the podcast is the most downloaded BBC one. goo.gl/odHcM Reply to this message | Report message

Brian Matthew. Always look forward to a long drive between 8 and 10 on a Saturday morning! He's 82. I hope they just recycle the programmes when he retires. Reply to this message | Report message
