Favourite Speaking Voices

Who has your favourite speaking voice? James Earl Jones may be the best, but he generally sounds too pompous and actorly for my taste. I'll nominate Lorenzo Music, voice of Carlton the Doorman on "Rhoda" and of Garfield the cat. Sadly, he passed away in 2001. I think there are still a lot of voice-over artists imitating him.

I'll also nominate Brad Garrett from "Everybody Loves Raymond". (Read "Brad's Favorites".)

Finally, I'll choose Wanda Sykes (although some people think she's annoying). Interview with The Onion - you can "hear" her voice as you read this.
