Shall I delete my post or give a warning? Listening to these ads may seriously affect your brain? 

Flanks eh! Very mechanical sounding.

Found this cute little snippet in Ariane DeVere's transcript:

[Memo to Benedict Cumberbatch: could you please not go into full cello-jaguar voice when I'm typing this late at night and wearing headphones cranked up loud? It's not good for my underwear. Kthxbai.]

Okay, so apparently this came out at least a year ago, but I've never heard of it or saw anything mentioned here/online?  Probably in the wrong circles for it, only ever playing a knock-off bejeweled on my phone....    We all heard of Benedict putting his fantastic voice to work for him with car commercials and radio shows, but... what about this?




(bit more of an explanatory description about it: http://toucharcade.com/2013/05/03/the-nightjar-review-an-impressive-auditory-maze-of-fright/)
I..... uhh....  if I bothered with games like that, I think I'd have a really hard time paying attention to what he was actually saying!!      


On that note (hehe) while we're on the subject, here's another recent ad he did.  We've seen a Pedigree commercial on here before... heh, apparently they like using his voice too, because here's another one:


Warning... this one's a little sadder than the usual 'this food is great for your dog' ad he did before.  Not to say anything about Pedigree's style or whether they're good...     Oh Ben.....  why you swirl me all up again with your voice??   

 Benedict's voice was a huge factor for me falling for him, that Alan Rickman impression just about tipped me over the edge as I adore AR and am a huge Snape fan. I was like  "That's it, I'm sold.". I think a hot voice is sooo vital, I mean, I love Richard Armitage too - nuff said.

Silly me, I didn't check if there was already a thread 

Anyway, here is my post copied over from the superfluous thread. Maybe a mod can delete the other one?

Benedict's voice has been described as sounding like a jaguar hiding in a cello, or the auditory equivalent of chocolate-covered sex whiskey. He's also bloody good at impersonations. Let's all post and discuss our favourite examples here




I could listen to him recite the phone book (do they even exist anymore?) but I especially like to hear him recite poetry and literature.

It does not surprise me at all that the ese are your words, tonnaree.

I don't know how I'd describe Benedict's voice other than "Benedict Cumberbatch's voice." Perahps warm, deep and expressive?

Oh, the person who described it as a jaguar trapped in a cello got it perfect.
