We have a local news reporter here in my country. He has what can be described as one of the most irritating voices one can have on TV. i'd call it a voice for a 1930's silent movie. To add to that he works for a public broadcaster that boot licks our government so we don't usually take their news broadcasts seriously. "Listen and add salt!" I used to go to the same gym with this guy and most regulars would tease him about his voice in the locker room.
