Personal favorite of mine is of course David Attenborough but frankly that is simply too easy..

Mike Rowe i always thought did a great job for the deadliest catch and seeing him on dirty jobs makes my day sometimes.. and seeing him discuss castrating lambs with his teeth on fora TV was funny.

Other Mentions:
Thom Beers: Overused but has a good voice for the shows he creates
morgan freeman (one of only a few high profile actors i think does narration well)
Ron Howard (of course for Arrested development:D )

Edit: oh yeah and explain why even thought i didnt.... suckers

Sir David Attenborough

His voice soothes the soul

[Salazar]

The latest Simon Mayo interview (BBC podcast) is with D. Attenborough. It's brilliant, as you could probably have guessed. Soul-soothing indeed.

Whoever the guy is who used to do Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health. He was great. The new guy just doesn't sound right.

P.S. The music for that show is done by "Jonathan Coulton." Is that the man of "Still Alive" fame?

[ronito]

wow twice in one day I get to post James Burke in a thread.

[Stinkles]

Attenborough is the king of this. End of story. OP should read, "Apart from Attenborough, who is..."

[SIP YEK NOD]

stacy keach.

Love this guys voice

[Parallax]

Morgan Freeman

were done here. theres no reason to continue

[speculawyer]

The Frontline guy

Edit: And those people who used his voice in a commercial were genius. It made what ever the commercial was about seem incredibly serious and important. :lol

Bill Nighy makes the Animal Planet pretty rad.

Although I always think of Viktor hosting Meerkat Manor. :lol

Morgan Freeman

March of The Penguins converted me.

I'm a big fan of Attenborough, but not for his voice.

[Kabouter]

Laurence Olivier was fantastic.

I'll watch anything narrated by Micheal Wood.

I always loved Orson Welles' voice in a narration role.

Fry has the amazing power to turn a dull, dreary mess into a most delightfully interesting work that, guaranteed, I will watch at full attention.

He gets my vote.

Mike Rowe, without a doubt. What a sexy beast of a man.

He's certainly the most hilarious. Love Dirty Work so much.

[Scullibundo]

or the narrator of The Wonder Years

[Crakatak187]

I like Mike Rowe as a narrator.

[Scullibundo]

Also - where is the mention of Carl Sagan? For shame GAF.

[jboldiga]

Morgan Freeman. His voice is so comforting.

[Roxas]

David Attenborough. No contest.

[Salazar]

Stephen Fry is also difficult to beat.

[freethought]

Laurence Olivier was fantastic.

Came here to post this. He and Attenborough get my pick. Olivier brings a sense of gravitas to World at War and with Attenborough, it always feels like he's right there in the middle of it all.

[AMUSIX]

every single one of you are wrong:


...and that is how you narrate a story.

[subzero9285]

1. Sir David Attenborough
2. Michael Palin
3. Bernard Hill

[beelzebozo]

come on, nobody else likes paul winfield? he narrates like he's on lorazepam.

[arena08]

[∀ Narayan]

David Attenborough should be in every post. He is, in my opinion, the only noteworthy narrator out there.
