Sexy Male Gamer Podcaster Voice Contest

[Meg]

I'm listening to some podcasts right now and realized that I'm finding quite a few very attractive.  This has nothing to do with actual appearances, this is about recorded voice and attitude. 

I want to make sure this award is rightly placed however, so instead of just randomly deciding, first I need a complete list of entrants and then finalists.  Then maybe some discussion?  Maybe not?  Maybe just girl/gay commentary? 

The winner and finalists should be extremely proud, so let's do this right!

[Robert Bohl]

Jeff Lower from The Sons of Kryos has quite a boomey voice. I think you can grow chest hair by listening to it.

[Josh]

Daniel Perez and Ben Balestra have sexy man voices.

After this can we do most sexist male podcaster?  I might win that

[Meg]

That brings up a good point- I'm going to go current podcasters only.  And I want to judge voice only.  Jeff went to vidcast.  I have to really consider adding him or not though because I think he and Judd totally sweep the "hottest male podcaster" category.  They make me swoon.  

[Justice]

I'm not sure about sexy but I find Charles W. Bryant from the Stuff You Should Know podcast to be the most relaxing and "down to earth".

I've never heard of that podcast- I'm checking out now. Is it a gaming podcast though?  I want to limit it to that because otherwise the field is too broad.

So all chicks should steer away from it just in case?

Oh god no.  Check out their vidcast.  Jeff sells it alone, I don't even need to say anything.

I sort of meant growing chest hair is not exactly what I look for in a girl. Thanks for the link nevertheless, I think I'll give it a go even though I am hardly an active vid/podcast follower.

[GeekGirlsRule]

Ogre at Stabbing Contest.  Duh. 

Well, I find his voice sexy. 

[Tshern]

I somehow find your nickname to be way too transparent. Perhaps even too transparent to be a joke made for the purposes of this thread. You shouldn't confuse a drunken man.

[Meg]

   Mickey, you have to admit that Tshern has a point.  Too funny. 

[Ashy]

Meg,

Not sure exactly what you want, but I think I could deliver pretty much whatever you're looking for, as I'm pretty good at doing voices.  If you want to hear my normal speaking voice, check out any of the "Dead Men Driving" podcasts on the Wandering Men site, such as:

http://www.wanderingmen.com/media/podcasts/38-podcasts/313-dead-men-driving-ep-06
http://www.wanderingmen.com/media/podcasts/38-podcasts/307-dead-men-driving-ep-05

etc...etc...

If you want to hear me acting a little silly, you can check out the regular Wandering Men podcasts - I do all sorts of voices, depending on the "needs and feel" of the 'cast:

Or, you can check out first podcast where I read an excerpt from our novel, Skein of Shadows. I did all of the voices within:

Enjoy!

I will take Josh's nomination as a badge of honor and wear it proudly.

Its not a gaming podcast but you didn't specify that in your initial post.

I have no vote if I have to pick a gaming podcast. I don't find anyone's voice that appealing. My own including... speaking of which, who the hell nominated me? Typically it's Mike that gets the "best voice on Bear Swarm" comments.

[ogre]

Definitely Daniel Perez.

If we're doing non gaming podcasts i vote for George Hrab of the Geologic Podcast.

[Highmoon]

Votes for me: Josh and Ogre. See, the guys know where it's at.

Uh... check the title of the thread?
And my twitter said:
"I've decided to judge a "Sexy Male Gamer Podcaster Voice" contest. Lots of hunky voices out there. I need the full list then finalists."

The first list is just people on twitter.  If I just list folks, I'll leave out sections and forget people and I'd rather the list was created by others.  That being said, I'll add Mike to the list.  And the others listed in this thread.

No where in that does it specify gamer.

Missed that, just saw the thread here.
