Don't know if we've done this yet, but......................

As in the title, not singing voice but speaking voice, tons of great actors past and present. I think my Favourite is James Mason.

Such a commanding, confident and sophisticated voice with perfect delivery.

One particular scene I like is this.



Don't watch if you are under 18 or a Scaredy-Cat.

  • Funnily enough, soon as I read title, James Mason sprung immediately to mind. 
    When I was a kid in South Wales, just about to join the Navy, I thought all English people spoke like that. Di I get a shock with Geordies, brummies and cockneys in my class, thought at first they were foreigners!

    Richard Burton / Anthony Hopkins for their rich Welsh loveliness.

     Alan Rickman for being a god. Oliver Reed, likewise.

     Kenneth Branagh for being from Belfast and still able to drop straight back into it when he wants.

    John Hurt.
    To the best of my knowledge,  Mississippi John Hurt never did any acting.

    Anyhow, I'll add Anthony Hopkins to the list.
