Best Bond voice?

Post by Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry »

Which of the 6 Bond actors do you think had the best voice?

1.Sean Connery:

The distintive Connery Scotch voice is now am iconic part of Bond.

2.Roger Moore:

Sir Roger has a great suave accent.

3.Tim Dalton:

Wonderful north of England voice, especially apparent when he says the word nasty.

4.Pierce Brosnan:

The Piercester has every distinctive voice too. His American-Irish voice sounds rather like Angus Macfadyen.

5.George Lazenby:

Has an Aussie flavour (naturally). Sounds a bit like George Baker sometimes too.

6.Daniel Craig:

A mumbling Martin Shaw-esque acting school voice with some cockney tossed in during the comical scenes. Not to my taste. :twisted:

Moore's voice was the best, naturally. Though Connery was also pretty good too.

:roll: I will say Craig's accent tends to be a bit all over the place(for that matter, so does Eva Green's)

Come to think of it, he does sound like Martin Shaw sometimes.

Connery & Brosnan for 1st & 2nd,
Moore has a good cultured voice.
Dalton I like but his voice didn't impress me.
Craig thinking about it does have a dull voice. Almost expression less. :(
Lazenby I haven't seen so he goes last.

Sean Connery seems to be the consensus as far as the best voice goes. Not at all surprising! :cheers:

George Baker. Lazenby only found out they did that when he watched the film.

Yes, of course. Looking back at the OP, I see Captain Dom made a sly reference to that fact.

Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan had the best voices. Craig sounds alright for an undertaker. Seriously there was a television spot for Quantum of Solace I just about missed that it was for a Bond movie because the scenes out of order and they were playing the dialogue from another scene over it. His voice is dull and life less. A guy who might successfully sell a casket but not get a woman in bed. Not one he isn't paying for.
