Best Voice for a Documentary?

[fundonny]

Love watching them on Discovery and Oasis etc.

Morgan Freeman of course is the king at this moment. Leslie Nielson has a great voice for them too but everytime he talks all I hear is "Nice beaver".

Let's say you were making a golf documentary, who would you choose for your narrator?

[Kilroy]

That's easy. David Ferhety.

[fundonny]

You could take him for a solid 90 minutes?

Two names come to mind immediately. The first is well known to everyone: James Earl Jones. The second is not so well known: David McCullough. McCullough is an American narrator, writer and lecturer. You may remember him as the narrator of Ken Burns' PBS series on The Civil War. He also narrated, among many others, Seabiscuit and The American Experience.

Without intending to hijack this thread, there is only one person whom I'd want making my documentary: Ken Burns. The Civil War and Baseball (all on PBS) are but a few of his accomplishments.

[Kilroy]

Mike Rowe is great too.

[spackler]

For golf, I know he's an announcer and not a narrator, but Peter Alliss.

David Attenborough can make anything interesting.

[golfinteg]

Angela Lansbury, female category, to complement Richard Burton.
She has a great musical voice too.

Ditto. Watch the Planet Earth & Blue Planet series with your daughters, Donny, and his voice just mesmerizes. He can make a 100 meter high pile of bat guano seem majestic.

Troy McClure

"Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such nature films as Earwigs: Eww! and Man vs. Nature: The Road to Victory."

[cleek]

if he was still with us , Steve Irwin, aka the Crododile Hunter

Hahaha...Brilliant.

[LobWedge]

Alice Cooper. (not joking)

[goochy]

If it were a golf documentary then definately Peter Alliss, he is the voice of golf for me. Otherwise David Attenborough of Patrick Stewart are both good picks.
