Ken Nordine.

Mel Blanc (as long as he does all of his voices too)
Billy West (see above)
I think Kevin Costner has a really great voice to listen to. 
Rachel Weisz and Keira Knightley both have very sexy voices.

I think that Keira would barely get into the B section before I would kick her out. There's a certain tone to her voice that I find very grating.

Liam Neeson definitely makes the list, as well as Peter O'Toole.

Bruce Campbell

I wish he had made a book-on-CD versions of If Chins Could Kill. I don't get the chance to read much anymore, and I would love to listen to it while I'm driving.

I'd like to second what someone else wrote: Hans Conreid. I Love his voice.

C'mon. Your telling me there isn't a person on this board who wouldn't buy a CD version of Tom Servo reading A Year at the Movies?

That's not what I meant. Kevin Murphy's voice is lovely. It's just, you know, too convenient to be true.

Have you heard the CD version of Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way?

Yes, and it was great. That's why I wish he would have done the other one. It wouldn't necessarily have to be the elaborate Radio Play style thing, as I know that takes a lot to produce, but just something so I can listen to it in the car since I don't have the time to read much.

Would Trace be reading a book in his Gregory Peck voice?  That would be money.

Lawrence Olivier.  Too cliche to mention?  Check out this acceptance speech that rivals Miss South Carolina's babble speech.  Jon Voight's reaction is priceless!

Olivier secretly confided to somebody the day after that he had, to use the acting term, "gone up" (i.e. forgot his lines and just started improvising nonsense).

Watching that clip convinces me he could make a phonebook sound like something on par with an apocalyptic battle fought by giant robot zombies.  Artist's rendering:

He's mostly a theatre actor, but I loved listening to Byron Jennings when he played Beverly Carlton in The Man Who Came to Dinner. Hands down the best performance of that character ever.
