Scarlett Johansson and Stevie Nicks immediately come to mind. Michael Fassbender is also a smooth talker.

Elvis Presley... Well, this should be a given. One of the most gorgeous, charismatic voices of all time. 3 octave range. Lyric baritone. Sweet, funny, sincere personality, but with a booming voice that could shake rafters and a temper. No hope of him ever getting the thick Depression-era "Memphus" drawl out of his voice. "Git my gee-tar an' go."
Harrison Ford's low, slow-talking gravel. Yummy. Sexy, swaggering bastard with a jaded seen-it-all, done-it-all attitude. His voice often has the smart-ass turned up. His special sarcasm voice (his voice goes higher pitched) appears every once in a while. He's also one of the action heroes who patented the fallibility aspect. When he's beat up and tired, he really shows it. And he has a withering, hard-ass quality that it takes a very strong personality performer beside him to really withstand (the Ford finger of doom). And then of course, there's mumbly, grouchy old Harrison (he actually has stagefright, which makes him one of the most awkward interview subjects). He acted old when he was young. Occasionally, he does the unexpected and isn't that. LOL. Sometimes he actually uses that expectation of his taciturn personality to do something silly.
Vincent Price... The voice of horror with the whole transatlantic accent thing going on. There's a reason he did so much narration.
Thurl Ravenscroft... Who, you might ask? "Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize..." "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch..." "They're grrrrreat!" His voice can be heard in the choruses of many Disney films, in 3 Elvis movies and did voiceover work all over Disneyland.
Wolfman Jack... Radio d.j. and presenter from another era, most famously featured in American Graffiti. What a voice.
Robin Williams had one of the sweetest, most-sincere sounding voices, but it's his sad eyes that usually make you want to cry. And he was a Rolodex of voice impressions and improv. As the Aladdin team quickly learned, they didn't just hire one voice, they hired about a thousand. You've got a guy whose standup was absolutely filthy, but he got away with it because he had this wonderful sheepish, sweet quality at the same time. His comedy never came across as mean-spirited. He also had a knack for the sentimental that resulted in some powerful deliveries. Even Mork & Mindy and a lot of his family films are surprisingly sad and emotional. He also had a quality where he came off as a child in the body of a man. And that quality ended up making him as beloved by children as adults. His Julliard training and his struggles with depression both came through in a lot of his acting, even in roles that weren't "serious". He was pretty much "dad" to several generations (typecast as a dad/mentor pretty early), but he was once sexy in an unconventional leading man sort of way in the early days despite being "short, furry and funny" (ye gads, there was a lot of body hair). It was a rare time when he got to play the romantic role, which resulted, funnily enough, in the times that he played an alien and a robot being his most romantic roles. A rare treat to get that side of him.
One of my television favorites is David Boreanaz and he's also got a really sweet, tender, soft, medium-range type of voice. Speaks in a lot of snipped sentences (a lot of dropped definite articles from scripts). Sexy side smirk. Eviler side smirk. Tender, protective Alpha male sweetheart who can manhandle and kick your ass. And then there's the fact that he's a goofball sports jock, yet has played opposite of that. He was getting plugged into big boss man and fatherly roles pretty early (even to actors who were older than him or not much different in age!).
Tom Baker... British, deep and extremely eccentric. "What's it for?!" is one of his most emotional outbursts on Doctor Who.
Patrick Troughton... British, impish and deep. That laugh is epic. He had a lovely sensitive quality to his voice, too.
Frazer Hines... "Ach, aye." Whether it's his own Yorkshire accent or his Jamie McCrimmon television comedy Scots, he's got a knack for voices. He even voices his old pal Pat Troughton for Big Finish audios in addition to Scottish Jamie. Bonus points because I've actually interacted with him on Twitter. He's a sweetheart and very down to earth. And this is a guy whose career goes back to putting whipped cream in Charlie Chaplin's hat!
Nicholas Courtney... Very pompous, extremely deep and epically over-the-top British. The Brigadier.
David Tennant... Is Scottish-ah! And his voice gets squeaky and high-pitched when he's excited. Often puts on an Estuary accent to de-Scottishize his voice, but both are lovely. Great dramatic actor who had gravitas early.
