danderson400 June 22, 2019 Share June 22, 2019 Mine were from daytime TV- Rod Roddy, Jay Stewart, Gene Wood, Jack Clark, and Bill Wolff. 3 Link to comment
AntiBeeSpray June 22, 2019 Share June 22, 2019 Can this include voice actors from cartoons? I remember June Foray, Dan Castellaneta , Rob Paulsen, Mark Hamill, Jim Cummings. As for other voices: Dick Clark and Casey Kasem. 3 Link to comment
ABay June 22, 2019 Share June 22, 2019 George Sanders. Sheer Khan made quite an impression on my very young self and I never knew who provided the voice until years later when I was having one of those "so sick you have to lay on the floor because you're afraid you'll fall off the couch" moments and The Picture of Dorian Gray came on the TV. This voice cut through the fog, ringing all sorts of bells, like it had been in my brain for all that time. 7 Link to comment
Mittengirl June 22, 2019 Share June 22, 2019 Sterling Holloway and Sebastian Cabot - mostly from Winnie the Pooh but also many other Disney projects. 8 Link to comment
Blergh June 23, 2019 Share June 23, 2019 IMO, no list of past voices would be complete without the Man of 1000 Voices - Mel Blanc! From Bugs Bunny to Heathcliff to so many others, if one was alive from the mid 1930's to the mid 1980's and was a fan of radios, cartoons, movies or television, one couldn't help but but hear him and he was a true master! 9 Link to comment

To say nothing of spicing up the Christmas season for decades before/after via her "Santa, Baby" song! Yeah, not for nothing did Orson Welles call her 'the most exciting woman in the world' and her voice alone was quite memorable! 9 Link to comment

Damn, but that woman was sexy!!!! 3 Link to comment

selkie June 23, 2019 Share June 23, 2019 Allyce Beasley- she had a few episodes on 'Bored to Death' around 2010, and the second I heard her voice, it was like 'hey, it's Miss DiPesto' from 'Moonlighting' back in the 1980s. 3 Link to comment

Ironically, Miss Beasley has proven to have had a more memorable voice than the billed star Cybill Shepherd but so would Christina Baranski on Miss Shepherd's later show! 3 Link to comment

danderson400 July 22, 2019 Author Share July 22, 2019 (edited) I don't ask this question, but who's this NBC announcer subbing for Mel Brandt on The Doctors in 1970? I think it is Bill Wendell, who was David Letterman's announcer, but cant be sure. Edited July 22, 2019 by danderson400 Link to comment
danderson400 July 22, 2019 Author Share July 22, 2019 (edited) I cant really place the voice, given that he was a NBC guy and that he was well known for a game show more than a soap. Edited July 22, 2019 by danderson400 Link to comment
Shannon L. July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 Mr. Rogers and most of the Sesame Street muppets (some of which are easy because they are still around today, but even the ones that you don't see anymore-unless you have kids who watch it- like Count Dracula, Cookie Monster and Grover will always be in my head). 1 Link to comment
xaxat July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 (edited) The calming, dulcet tones of Alex Trebek. ETA How could I forget? The calming dulcet tones of Vince Sculley. Edited July 22, 2019 by xaxat 1 Link to comment
danderson400 April 18, 2020 Author Share April 18, 2020 Don Morrow, who announced on Sale of The Century during the Winner's Big Money Game era. I feel that he was much better for the show than Jay Stewart. Link to comment
