7. I agree with you CalPeg.
I think that this thread hit rock bottom when James Earl Jones wasn't one of the choices. IMO

9. The Pushing Daisies dude
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 02:59 PM by Inchworm
I think he did Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy too.

Edit for names-
Jim Dale = Pushing Daisies
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0197715/

Stephen Fry = Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000410/


EDIT: I also like the Dances with Wolves guy

:hi:

12. I LOVE that guy's voice!
I used to watch that NFL show on HBO *just* to hear his voice. That's how much I love it, I'd even put up with Collinsworth for a while to hear it. :)

Still though... he's sports, not general narration, so I'd not consider him for this poll.

18. The Frozen Tundra of Lambeau
Facenda was awesome. And Harry Kalas, Phillies announcer also has a great sportscasting voice.

13. If you'd just asked best voice I would have said Jones, but I think Freeman makes for a better
narrator.

25. Jones for epics, Freeman for a world-wearied tragedy.
Still, I always wondered what it would be like if they'd given the part of Darth Vader's voice overs to Charles Nelson Reilly.
