with these voices it'd be hard for these
gentlemen to prank call anyone but what
I do have are a very particular set of
skills welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we're counting down our picks for
the top 10 male actors with iconic
voices for this list we're looking at
those male celebrities whose voices are
just about as notable as their
filmography phased plasma rifle ooh in
the forty watt range HS what you see pal
whether they sound imbued with the
wisdom of a thousand sages or like
they're ordering a raid on the
neighboring village we can recognize
them instantly you may need out of
people's lunches stop it number 10 Al
Pacino call me Dad here's a man who
likes a little volume with his
monologues that's gonna make the
difference between
and it seems that his voice has evolved
over the course of his career as has his
penchant for yelling in most of his
performances not that we're complaining
there's really only one way to give a
motivational speech to your devil spawn
or to declare your intentions while
holding an automatic firearm and a
whisper just ain't gonna cut it
I can't judged him why because I never
rejected him in spite of all his
imperfections I'm a fan of it
number 9 Arnold Schwarzenegger he's the
Austrian brick house with a voice that
won't quit come on in fact his voice
pretty much made the whole all feedback
line from the Terminator as memorable as
it is and let's not forget how much his
accent lends itself to awesome movie
moments who is your daddy and what does
he do who doesn't like to see former
bodybuilders yelling about tumors with a
bunch of kindergarteners we love it it
might be a tumor it's not a tumor number
eight Jeremy Irons what'd you want me to
say but I'm sorry I saved your life yes
his voice epitomizes that of the
distinguished English gentleman and
given his classical training in
Shakespeare it's probably not that far
from the truth actually it's largely a
matter of nerve while he may make us
want to bust out some Earl Grey let's
not forget that he killed Simba's dad no
that King
it's all fun and games and cricket until
somebody is plotting to have wildebeest
trample their brother to death I'd hate
to be responsible for the death of a
family member
wouldn't you agree Simba alan rickman
due to the lack of trauma corporations
legacy of greed around the globe they're
about to be taught a lesson in the real
use of power you may remember him from
when he and some German friends tried to
take over Nakatomi Plaza in diehard use
my own spells against me or maybe from
when he kind of wanted to kill Harry
Potter but not really my god help you if
you don't even know who you are stupid
girl he also managed to put that British
baritone to good use as a crotchety
caterpillar in Tim Burton's Alice in
Wonderland but much more hard now in
fact your most but really who could play
a disaffected hookah smoking larval
insects better I'm Alice King see Alice
you were just as didn't brew to the
first time you were here you called it
Wonderland number six
Vincent Price shall be
without the cells or getting down inside
a corpse
Michael Jackson knew what was up when he
had Kimmy do the voiceover for thriller
not to mention his reading of Edgar
Allan Poe's the Raven seems like the
poem was written for him and he was born
to read it with a dark and definitely
creepy delivery that he saw my wife
Lenore within these walls
is it true sir have you her soul in
bondage
his is a voice that could lure you
quietly to your death while you're too
busy being captivated by its coolness
it's like a goth sirens on and though
you fight to stay alive
[Music]
get off my lawn
number five Clint Eastwood I notice how
you come across somebody once in a while
you should know worth
that's if someone were to breathe life
into a weather-worn piece of tough
leather that piece of leather would
probably sound like mr. Eastwood with a
voice that has evolved over the years to
sound like he gargles with sandpaper for
fun
thank you five feet high in Korea gives
you four sandbags there's no mistaking
that this old cowboy means business and
if you couldn't get that from his gritty
vocals then maybe his perpetually
furrowed brow can help you out you see
in this world there's two kinds of
people my friend that was with loaded
guns number four Sean Connery where in
the world are you James well I've just
been reviewing an old case oh so I have
an old case now am i it's the office
he was your mom's and or grandma's
favorite sex symbol playing everyone's
favorite secret agent during the 60s
bond James Bond
it's easy to see why with a decidedly
Scottish lilt that is both charming and
enviable it's a Smith & Wesson and
you've had your six if a glass of
whiskey could talk he probably sound
like this guy and we'd be fine with it
except when he's trying to bark out
orders on a Russian submarine new Polish
key then it's just weird he's number
three Christopher Walken two little mice
fell in a bucket of cream it's hard to
pinpoint what it is about his voice that
we love so much
maybe it's the erratic enunciation did
you make that up all by yourself or
maybe it's the Queens New York accent
paired with his fairly consistent tone
did you see the man upstairs Sandra did
you talk to him we did send one we
talked to the man whatever it is our
ears can call it from a mile away
there's something enjoyably creepy about
his vocal delivery that would let us get
a kick out of him just reading the
alphabet have some pride in yourself
have some faith in Jesus Christ as your
Lord and don't tell me scum
nothing number two James Earl Jones his
deep baritone is hard to ignore not that
you'd want to he's voiced one of film's
greatest villains as well as one of its
greatest lion dads
sure did his voice is so booming and
oppressive it's mind-boggling to imagine
that he had a debilitating stutter let
alone that he didn't speak whatsoever
for almost a decade with a voice like
his we probably never shut up but it's
just knock on the door I got it for you
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions you can't close

level 1 radiation leak every surface of
the ship is contaminated simply changing

date why but that's the way guys are I
laugh when you talk dirty they think
you're cute laughter why you get a
reputation that's it you get no respect
you understand come on in the house
outside number 1 Morgan Freeman the
millions of years they have made their
home on the darkest driest windiest and
coldest continent on earth and they've
done so pretty much along so in some
ways this is a story of survival
somewhere between the Shawshank
Redemption and march of the Penguins he
became the de facto go-to for narration
there must be a con like me and every
prison in America I'm the guy who can
get it for you cigarettes a bag of
reefer if that's your thing a bottle of
brandy to celebrate your kids high
school graduation then there anything
within reason his Pleasant soothing
voice has a paternal quality that makes
it easy to get lost in his storytelling
it's a voice that can rock you to sleep
and also recount the details of a
horrific car accident without missing a
beat prison time is slow time so you do
what you can to keep going some fellas
collect stamps others build matchstick
houses Andy
built a library it's a quality that's
hard to find in most people let alone
most actors but it's more than that
