He's got a voice that makes u believe whatever he says

[michaelbcohen]

Morgan Freeman: The man you want to narrate the story of your life.
One of the best voices of all time

[TestedModz]

Such a good actor and all people ask him about is his voice.

[magno]

Whenever he's in a movie I instantly know I am going to see it.

[singularitybound]

Its insane that he is almost 80 and looks so much younger.

[feraguilar]

"I was old... I was 22" seriously Morgan? I'm 22 you made me feel old...

[ARMYTRIX]

If only our exhaust sounds like Morgan Freeman

[IccyTheOne]

You know how cool it'd be to hear a conversation between him and James Earl Jones.

[AccidentalBroadcast]

If you haven't seen it, watch "The Shawshank Redemption" NOW.

[TankKiller]

His voice is that of a cloud. I'll be sad the day he goes.

[leviathan]

Morgan Freeman just makes me smile for no reason. Just seeing him talk and smile fills me with joy.

[WBAL]

Morgan Freeman's voice sounds so buttery smooth and beautiful. It's rich and just....satisfying to hear.

[tobiasarmstrong]

"I went to school." A lesson to us all! haha

[edisoneva]

Every time I see Morgan Freeman's interview, it's always about his voice. Like, are they out of questions?

[maxbrisset]

0:05..."white people and their silly ass questions smh, why did i even come here ffs?"

[Ad_Astra]

Mr Freeman has the voice of God. Ever since I watched Bruce almighty, he is the god I picture in my mind and im not even religious lol

[kwamerobinson]

I'm starting college at 44... I guess I'll be dead by the time I graduate

[spizzray]

Jimmy: *breathes*
Audiences: HAHAHAHHA

[alexiciamoore]

He’s got a convincing voice that draws the listeners attention. Let’s put it that way. The way he pronounces and annunciates his wording and how’s it pulls you in is what makes it so special.

[animeyahallo]

The fact that he looks like 60 years old for like almost half a century surprises me more than his beautiful voice.
