Members ~bl~ Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 Guiding Light used to have such distinctive voices that even without the visual you could recognize nearly everyone just by voice. (This changed as the years went by, but I digress.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 I always found Francesca James' voice to be very soothing. Not-so-soothing (to put it mildly): Sabine Singh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 Which reminds me to add Maeve Kinkead and Jordan Clarke to the list. And Beth Chamberlain. I love husky voiced men and women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 One voice I don't care for is Drake Hogestyn, he always sounds congested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 James Mitchell Thaao Penghlis Constance Towers Eric Martsolf Louis Edmonds Robin Mattson Lauren Koslow Lois Kibbee Jonathan Frid Kin Shriner The trick to a great tv voice for a woman is it has to be deep. When Robin Mattson, Constance Towers or Lauren Koslow turn on the drama it is their deep voice that sells it in a way helium actresses like Kristina Wagner or Rebecca Herbst never could. Robin Mattson knows her voice is another tool in her acting arsenel. Kirsten Storms when she speaks makes dogs weep for mercy. For the guys they start with a deeper voice so they have to get their flair through accents or a touch of hamminess. James Mitchell had the best voice bar none, but Louis Edmonds accent was gold beyond gold. Thaao Penghlis is another whose weird way of talking makes it work. And I completely agree about Eric Martsolf. Of all the 40 and under actors he definitely has the best voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted June 27, 2014 Members Share Posted June 27, 2014 Grant Aleksander Beth Chamberlin James DePaiva (OH YES. ) Fiona Hutchison (Well, maybe her accent more than her voice ) Emma Samms (ditto) Finola Hughes (yep) Tristan Rogers Sarah Brown Phil Carey Robin Christopher Robin Mattson Sherry Stringfield Michael Zaslow Maureen Garrett Alison Sweeney Kin Shriner Tony Geary (when he uses it properly in dramatic scenes, it's perfect) Stuart Damon Sharon Wyatt Tim Stickney Catherine Hickland My flame-risk: Kassie DePaiva. Hate all you want, guys, but I LOVE when her Kentucky accent comes out when one of her characters gets angry, especially since GL and OLTL made her cover it up when she first got those roles.
