Weirdly, I've given this problem some thought.

I like to go for famous people with memorable delivery styles and as much variety as possible:

  • Ed Wynn
  • John Wayne
  • Bob Hope
  • John Fielder
  • Noel Fielding
  • Kumail Nanjiani
  • Peter Capaldi
  • Richard Ayoade
  • Stephen Fry
  • Steve Buscemi
  • Peter Cullen
  • Jonathan Frakes

This is also a useful reference group for ad-hoc NPCs when running a game of Pathfinder.

Edit: I focused on male voices, since we're talking about doing the Hobbit. But now I want to reuse this for NPCs.

Some great, distinct, female voices:

  • Reba McIntyre
  • Jane Krakowski (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)
  • Natasha Fatale (from Rocky and Bullwinkle) (June Foray)
  • Granny (from Luney Tunes) (June Foray, Tress MacNeille)
  • Jane Kangaroo (Horton Hears a Who) (still June Foray)
  • Daisy Duck (often Tress MacNeille)
  • Dot Warner (Tress MacNeille again)
  • Mrs Featherby (DuckTales) (Tress MacNeille again)
