And in fact, their names figure prominently in a research for the perfect human voice. Jeremy Irons' is said to be the closest to the ideal male voice model. The ideal female voice? It's a mixture of Mariella Frostup and Judi Dench, among others.
Take a listen:
The "perfect" male voice.
The "perfect" female voice.
The mathematical formula used in this study is said to be "based on the combination of tone, speed, frequency, words per minute, and intonation." (Must the ideal voice have a British accent as well?)
A trivia for Harry Potter fans: Michael Gambon's (Professor Dumbledore) is also mentioned as a top voice in the study. The Deathly Hallows reader should be especially amused about these references to both actors. And if you've only been watching the movies, you don't have to wait much longer to know.
