Freeman v Attenborough

Who has the best voice for narration?

degsyhufc · 01/02/15 - 23:00

Invisipoll

Attenbourough for all natural history type stuff, but Freeman does have a superb voice.

Attenbourough for Natural History, Freeman for Film and TV.

Freeman has done nature docs though. Didn't he do the penguin one?

Joe Pasquale.

D A is the Man.

Sir David, naturally. One of the few genuinely great people left in British broadcasting.

Cougar Girl · 01/02/15 - 23:36

Sir David Attenborough!

QT 3.14 · 01/02/15 - 23:46

Sir Charles of Dance.

Brian Blessed.
Watch those gorillas run for the hills as they get the "hairdryer" treatment.

Joey essex is better

I never really liked DA's narration. He always seems to come across as all "breathy" as he speaks.

David Tennant seems to do quite a bit of narration these days and I like his voice.

Then again, there's always David Bellamy to consider too. He was terrific.

gomezz · 02/02/15 - 04:30

Bellamy is too left field for the BBC.

Alice Roberts is my younger favourite, Especially when wearing a wet suit.

Louie Spence.

Pisces Cloud · 02/02/15 - 09:09

I prefer Morgan Freeman's voice.

degsyhufc · 02/02/15 - 19:44

Lot of support for Sir Dave

DangerBrother · 03/02/15 - 11:48

Would like to hear Attenborough do Shawshank.

(Or to broaden the issue, Attenborough doing the voiceover for Goodfellas etc)

TheSilentFez · 03/02/15 - 11:54

Attenborough, of course.
And on the subject of narrators, I quite like John Hurt's narration.

Which penguin one?

The latest one I saw was 'Penguins: Spy In The Huddle' (which I recorded) and that was narrated by David Tennant (Dr. Who) and he did a good job.

Overall, I'd go for DA, though MF has a very good voice and is one of my favourite actors.

Probably makes me anti-British or something, but really can't stand Attenborough's voice.

The correct answer is Brian Sewell.
