Can you put a face to this voice?

Yes I think it's natural, and so it's so often wrong, the person is nothing like I imagined. The same is true of books and how I imagine the characters, then out comes the film and I'm lost I don't recognise the characters from how I'd imagined them.

Oooo! I love this game! 

Yes... shipping forecast boy! Can't remember his name.

I think he's tall and quite slim, in his late 30s, early 40s, got all his hair still, kind face but with quiet humour...

Interesting Pam.
Shall I post the answer sometime tomorrow?

It's funny that I put lower ages on voices generally. Maybe I don't want to admit to myself that I'm getting older and want to associate myself with younger people to make me feel younger.

I can't put face to your voice link. Years ago when I was a young dental nurse I fell in love with a patients voice on the phone, he was American and had the sexiest voice I'd ever heard. His name was 'Mr Folvacheny' ( I can't remember how to spell it, but I've never forgotten his name)
All us dental nurse's couldn't wait to meet him, the day of his appointment we were all done up to the nines, hair, false eyelashes the works.

What a shame

Yes please brisket! Allow me one more night of fantasy!  

One of mine is Simon Russell Beale, the actor. I can't find a voice link... but in RL...

No wonder we prefer to live in internet world!

Is this who you mean Pam? He doesn't look that good to me. Are you saying he sounds good?

Precisely my point Low!  He sounds sooooo much sexier than he looks!

He'd have to  My voice is at it's sexiest when I have cold and it goes deep and husky, I have had comments made by strangers on the phone saying I sound sexy.  They never do any other time sadly.

I've been told I have a premium rate 0898 phone number voice, most other people call me Mister. True by the way

Have you never fancied taking it up? Sitting peeling sprouts and pretending to be interested on the phone?

It's an option Lowi I was thinking of buying a sleeping bag and pretending I was zipping up my boots.

I've been told I have a really dirty laugh!  Don't know why 'cos I'm an

Indeed he does.

I find voices are one of the most attractive things about a person.

Low - funny you should mention that. I have fairly often said to somebody with a cold that they sound sexy on the phone!

Good one Essie 

Bet it's Dave that's said that, he can be very pointed sometimes

Oh Brisket you are my mystery caller. I knew I'd find out one day

Have you been listening to the Smiley series on Radio 4 brisket? It's fantastic! I'm a proper SRB groupie... usually catch whatever he's in at the NT, although he's doing less and less now...

Ssshhhh!    (Our secret.)

O.K. I won't tell anybody  You didn't sound bad yourself

Heard some Pam, but not all sadly. Very good.  But I can well understand your admiration for SRB

Not just Dave...  Good thing is though, my voice is otherwise far from being interpreted as seductive!

A good job it is Pam, it can lead to all sorts of trouble. I was even chatted up by an insurance salesman on the phone. He wanted to give me more than  a premium

Why didn't you take... advantage of his price offer at least?!

Goodnight Pam, Brisket, Essie, I need to get to bed  
Enjoyed your company

I considered it carefully and decided his policy had short comings
Goodnight and sweet dreams

Night you hussy!  I'm off for a little wander around blogland... Night brisket too if you're still around... anon anon!

Goodnight folks.

Tomorrow I'll post more about that voice in the 2nd post of this thread.

Right, so I'm in love with the shipping forecast now... 

I hate the sound of my own voice, when I hear it on answer phones etc. It doesn't sound like me at all!

I dislike mine too Blizzie. In school the English teacher wanted to record us reading from some book, Pygmalion I think, and I threw a hissy fit cos I so didn't want to hear my recorded voice! I was totally embarrassed by it (my recorded voice).

Generally, I was a little angel in school, so this took them all by surprise. Me too for that matter, as I wouldn't say boo to a goose in those days. (Long, long, oh so very long time ago.)

Jenny!

It is weird though, how we don't sound like us!

I wonder if you have listened to 
  The voice in post 2 of this thread.

Would you like to describe what you think is the appearance of that person?
Then I will reveal what the person actually looks like.

I think he's late 40's, tallish slimish, perhaps balding!

Following the deluge of replies (liverbird and Xochiquetzal)
here is the person behind the voice.

Zeb Soanes

Zebedee Soanes (born 1976), or Zeb as he is more commonly known, is a continuity announcer on BBC Radio 4. He regularly reads the News and The Shipping Forecast. In his past, he has been a continuity announcer for BBC1, BBC2  and BBC4. He was the first voice to welcome new viewers to the new BBC Four channel when it was launched in2002. He returned to BBC Four in August 2006 as a presenter for the BBCProms. He was born in Lowestoft.

He is not tall. 33 years old. I think he has a beautiful mellifluous voice.

I tried to post a short video clip, but I am stupid and I couldn't do it, so you'll have to make do with a still picture.

I didn't post Brisket...but I've been waiting to see him all night.

Quite a surprise!

I am quite sure he will be delighted Ducky
