Having heard Neil Gaiman read some of his pre-published book last week, I was thinking about authors and voices (nice ones, like Jasper's and Neil's).

If you could choose anyone, who would you want to read out loud to you?

Douglas Adams.
Thank goodness for MP3s.

Well, Martin Sheen and Bill Shatner both have good voices.

I second Douglas Adams and Neil Gaiman (try and find a copy of him reading his story, A Study in Emerald, online) and introduce Stephen Fry

This is me

WHAT, SO YOU COULD HEAR IT LIKE THIS, ALL THE WAY THROUGH?!
Save a fortune on electricity, mind. You could probably get it live direct, wherever the studio is he's recording it from.

He's not loud all the time. He actually did a really good and reasonably volumed commentary for Flash Gordon.

Hmmm. We haven't had a woman yet. What about... No, I'm stuck.

On the distaff side:

June Whitfield
Dawn French (whom I suspect would be good to very good)
Jo Kendall

What about the woman who is the voice of Jessica Rabbit?

Kathleen Turner? Possibly that would be a little too much husk.

Joanna Lumley reading just about anything

Hmmm.... Michelle Dockrey perhaps. (Not the one who was Susan in Hogfather, that was Dockery.)

Victor Garber. He was Jack Bristow in Alias, has a very good voice, and is OF the theatre.

How about Julie London? Listening to her say 'Good Evening" was enough to make the microphone go off for a lie down.
