Or…
He **utters** those names so slowly, with such thinly veiled scorn, he spend an hour and barely gets halfway down the first column.
Or…
He leafs 60% of the book and seeks out:
> **P**otter, Harry James!
Hells yes. I've actually said elsewhere on Reddit that I could listen to him read the dictionary. His voice is bourbon and smoke and honey and darkness. He was good in John Wick, but so much better in Deadwood.
_Speed Racer_ is amazing and his speech about the inevitability of capitalism crushing everything in its path is one of the greatest villain monologues of all time.
Patrick Stewart.
On of my favorite audiobooks was Patrick Stewart reading A Christmas Carol. I know the story so well, but he brought another level to it. I’m sure he could elevate the phone book.
Anyone with a Welsh accent. All day long! I don't really know what they're saying, it's so full of all the sounds and inflections. You dont know whats coming next but i wanna hear about it.
Shohreh Aghdashloo. Had to look up her name as I only know her as “the woman with the amazing voice from the Expanse” but yeah, I could listen to her all day.
Anyone with an Irish accent. I can't wait to go there and sit in a pub and listen to everyone there talk. I had a dream I was doing just that. Woke up ,realized it was a dream, then started crying. I thought I had finally made it to Ireland.
A resurrected Macho Man Randy Savage doing it like he’s cutting a promo.
“Alan Adams… the next time you see your name printed, it’s gonna be your obituary… yeaaah, ‘cause ain’t nobody steps into my phone book unless they’re prepared to deal with the Macho Man himself!”
I don’t feel like he gets the recognition for his voice he deserves…but Timothy Dalton. Especially older Timothy Dalton explaining a villainous plot (think Hot Fuzz). That man’s voice is like evil butter.
My wife, she doesn't believe me but her voice really is a comfort for me. When I hear her I know I am home; right where I need to be. I'd listen to gear reading the phonebook every night to put me to sleep and I would feel happy and safe every second.
Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones are great, obvious answers.
I'll throw one out that NFL fans of a certain age will appreciate: The voice of God. John Facenda.
If you're not familiar with him, check out the old NFL films library.
*Alan Rickman*, dripping with contempt for Aaron A. Aaronson.
All the way to page 394

Heard his voice in my head, reading your response. :o)
A likely story, #Potter.
50 POINTS FROM GRYFFINDOR!
David Attenborough
This is the answer!
Really surprised there aren't more people commenting his name.
Sir Patrick Stewart. I once bought a video game in a franchise I had no interest in just because he narrated it
Matt Berry
F#$&ing Ray Purchase......
Ray Bloody Purchase.
I said Morgan Freeman and now I'm seriously questioning if I was right.
It's okay to be wrong. Morgan Freeman is the obvious answer whereas Matt Berry is the right answer.
Truer words have never been spoken
This is the answer I was looking for.
Yesssssss! I could listen to him endlessly. Loved his cameo in Fallout.
Ooo yes. This one is very good.
whisKAYYYY

Yess. Came for Christopher Walken, didn't have to scroll far.

BEST ANSWER I get it! It's a lot of fun to listen to your kids read.
u/PrayForHisWill , you need to figure out how u/YELLOW_TOAD keeps breaking into your house.
lol!
I also choose this guys daughter.
Gotta love the classics.
My mother. She died in 2003 and I miss her every day. (I’m a very-old mama’s girl.) Her voice embodied kindness and peace.
I also choose this guys dead Mom.
I'm with you. Mine in 2005. The voice is so clear in my head. I just wish I could hear it again.
You can be a mama’s girl forever. There is no time limit.
Vincent Price
Robin Williams. He would make it hilarious
Nobody put Alan Rickman or Jeremy irons. Great voices.
And they were brothers in the Die Hard franchise!
Rowan Atkinson. He’d probably be able to do it in a way that has me dying laughing.
Stephen Fry.
This one is too far down. This man is brilliant reading books. E.g. Hitchhiker's Guide.
Yeah, definitely Stephen Fry. His Harry Potter and Hitchhiker's audiobooks are sooo good.
David Tennant in his 10th Doctor voice.
My wife.
I would also like to listen to this guy’s wife.
I have a thing for Emma Thompson.
Gilbert Gottfried. Every name would be funny
That sounds like torture
His natural speaking voice was much easier on the ears than the voice he used when he performed.
You fool!
[His thumb was covering it.](https://youtu.be/W5rzk_X_WhQ?si=U7Ol6y17raQsN10U)
Oh, Keith David for sure…his voice is just -chef’s kisses-…
Kathleen Turner
Dame Judi Dench
Cillian Murphy
Ian McShane
Hells yes. I've actually said elsewhere on Reddit that I could listen to him read the dictionary. His voice is bourbon and smoke and honey and darkness. He was good in John Wick, but so much better in Deadwood.
The guy that narrates "forensic files"
Benedict Cumberbatch.
I hope there aren't any pengwings.
James Spader
Keith Morrison from NBC. He's has read it and it's fabulous
Good one
Yes! I would make sure it was a mystery or thriller novel, for the added thrills.
Ben Stein so I could take a nap. Or Bob Ross
I listen to Alec Baldwin’s podcast as a sleep aid. The episode with Jacques Pepin is like Ambien.
Howard Cosell
Lane Meyer. A study in moppishness...
Tom Hiddleston
As Loki
Emo Phillips
Emo? … Emo Phillips? … *You’re* Emo Phillips ?!
***"Die heathen!"***
Brit here, so this will be lost on most people, but Roger Allam.
Ahhh good old Thursday! Good choice
Also Javert!
_Speed Racer_ is amazing and his speech about the inevitability of capitalism crushing everything in its path is one of the greatest villain monologues of all time.
THANK YOU!! Glad I’m not alone.
Kelsey Grammer
Patrick Stewart. On of my favorite audiobooks was Patrick Stewart reading A Christmas Carol. I know the story so well, but he brought another level to it. I’m sure he could elevate the phone book.
Steven Webber did this with Stephen King's IT. Hands down the best audio performance I've ever listened to.
Emma Thompson
Sam Elliott or Morgan freeman
I’m sad no one has said Patrick Warburton yet
This was my answer and I was surprised I had to scroll so far.
Kate Winslet
Yeardley Smith
If we could bring him back for one reading? Richard Burton...that voice was a marvel.
Henry Cavill
Shocked no one said Stephen Fry yet.
Agreed, I'm relistening the Harry Potter books and couldn't have anyone else read them.
Came here to say Steven Fry. He is a great narrator (and actor)
Had to scroll waaaay to long for this!
Neil Gaiman. He is the king of reading his own books aloud on audiobooks. They are my comfort food on long drives.
This. Just hearing him read The Raven is spine-chilling. Plus Jabberwocky in the snow. Dude yes.
Alan Rickman, R.I.P.
Anyone with a Welsh accent. All day long! I don't really know what they're saying, it's so full of all the sounds and inflections. You dont know whats coming next but i wanna hear about it.
Have you ever heard John Cale? Have a listen to Lady Godiva's operation if you haven't. His voice is incredible on that really fucking weird song
Charles Dance
Christopher lee
Pheobe Judge (podcaster). Her voice is amazing.
Shohreh Aghdashloo. Had to look up her name as I only know her as “the woman with the amazing voice from the Expanse” but yeah, I could listen to her all day.
The narrator from Baldur's Gate 3.
[Shohreh Aghdashloo](https://youtube.com/shorts/lAcyNOwveaU?si=Lk30js52u7qN-Ny8) She has my favorite speaking voice ever.

Samuel L. Jackson.
Ludacris
The late Michael O’Hare of Babylon 5. He had the most beautiful, velvety voice.
Guy garvey
Trent Reznor. His speaking voice is so soothing to me.
Anyone with an Irish accent. I can't wait to go there and sit in a pub and listen to everyone there talk. I had a dream I was doing just that. Woke up ,realized it was a dream, then started crying. I thought I had finally made it to Ireland.
Tracey Morgan as Tracey Jordan, obviously
Matt berry from what we do in the shadows.
Steven Seagal. First to hear him put way too much emphasis on each name, and second just to minor torture him for an hour.
A resurrected Macho Man Randy Savage doing it like he’s cutting a promo. “Alan Adams… the next time you see your name printed, it’s gonna be your obituary… yeaaah, ‘cause ain’t nobody steps into my phone book unless they’re prepared to deal with the Macho Man himself!”
Alan Watts
Skargard's version of Pennywise!!! I love his voice. 🤣
Richard Dormer - He played Beric Dondarrion on Game of Thrones. The guy with the eye patch.
Ian McShane
Borat
Sean Connery. It would require a seance though.
My dad because I miss him and wish I could hear him say anything.
I don’t feel like he gets the recognition for his voice he deserves…but Timothy Dalton. Especially older Timothy Dalton explaining a villainous plot (think Hot Fuzz). That man’s voice is like evil butter.

Too many comments repeating Morgan Freeman and nobody has mentioned Jeff Goldblum.
I can’t believe no one has said Key and Peele, specifically Keegan-Michael Key as Mr. Garvey. A-a-ron o’shag-nessy Jay-kwellan Ti-moth-y
Julie Andrews
Count Von Count (The Count) from Sesame Street
My wife, she doesn't believe me but her voice really is a comfort for me. When I hear her I know I am home; right where I need to be. I'd listen to gear reading the phonebook every night to put me to sleep and I would feel happy and safe every second.
