The Most Influential Male Voices from TV And Film

Have you ever wondered as to which celeb might have the most influential voice? It may surprise you to know that the best-looking celebs are not always the ones who have a great voice. It only takes one look at David Beckham to realize that looks do not always imply a great sounding voiceover. A perfect male voice can actually make quite the difference in the way you interact with a product brand. Here is a roundup of some of the most well-known male voices in movies and TV.

Morgan Freeman

You may best remember him as ‘The Voice of God’, and there is no one who can argue with that. Freeman’s larynx seem to have a voice that has centuries of experience. While all the voices in this list have a certain character about them, none have that payload of history that the voice of Morgan Freeman has at its command. The natural vibrato, excellent rage and a degree of mellowness with just the right depth is the voice that the industry can never have enough of.

James Earl Jones

As a child Jones had a stutter, but overcame the affliction through poetry, public speaking, to becometheiconic voice of Darth Vader in the Star Wars film series.  At his own request, Jones was uncredited for the original releases of the first two Star Wars films,[25] though he later would be credited for the first film in its 1997 "Special Edition" re-release. Jones is also known as the voice of Mufasa in Disney's The Lion King, and has done CNN taglines, many commercials, as well as audio books.

John Krasinski

John Krasinski is most well known for his role as Jim Halpert on the NBC sitcom The Office.A little known fact to the general public though, this that Krasinski has alsolent his voice to a whole mess of products, including Kodak, Ask.com, Puma, Apple TV, and Carnival Cruises. His voice over work in Esurance ads is approachable, friendly, and conversational; the everyman voice, that’s probably why he is heard everywhere!

Josh Lucas

Josh Lucas is an American actor who has starred in such films as A Beautiful Mind and the Hulk. His filmography is quite prolific and to top that off, when he is not acting in film or television, he can be heard as the voice of “The Home Depot Guy”. His voice is cool, edgy, and motivational, and he’s been speaking to the “do-it-yourselfers” since 2013.

Sam Elliot

Sam Elliot has what is known as ‘the earthquake of a voice’. Of all the deep-voice actors that are working today, his is the voice that comes with the most width and deepest rumble. While his natural voice seems to be made up like that, the commentary in Alien Resurrection will show you that Michael Wintcott does not speak so lowly in reality. Sam Elliot’s voice has more than just depth-, which also seems to be there in the four-octave range. If you are amongst those who do not fear or trust this voice, then you too are incapable of these feelings.

While this list does list some of the best voices that we have heard over the years- it is by no means complete, and there is a lot more that the industry has offered in all those years.
