    Pretty self explanatory.  What celebrity voices do you like and why?

    Here's a little starter:  James Earl Jones, Morgan Freeman, and Don LaFontaine (the movie trailer announcer guy) all stand out for having very strong, often intense vocal timbres.

    That reminds me of Hugh Laurie.  Whether he's speaking as a proper Brit or, convincingly, in his damaged American grumble, he's certainly identifiable.  Gotta love those pipes.

    Sam Waterston.  His TDWaterhouse commercials almost make me trust in a financial company.

    Good - and I must say, unexpected - choices so far.  How about some females?

    I personally like Catherine Keener's raspy, but at times very nurturing and delicate voice. 
    Joan Rivers, who uses it for great comic effect. 
    Emily Watson, who often sounds so coy and inviting. 

    Any others?

    sorry no girls come to mind right now. will think on it.
    I like David Attenborough. No clue if he is 'famous' or not, but he has a nice voice, for narration.

    I'll allow it.

    I just remembered Werner Herzog.  His narration is a big part of what made Grizzly Man so intriguing the first time.

    her voice is distinct, I like her laugh,  and I think if I could be some other woman, I would like to be her...

    Drew's so darn cute too.  She's one of the most genuinely likable celebrities we've got these days.
