Guess What?
I have Alexander Scourby's Bible on 'cassette' tape. It's old as daisies...
A friend gave this to me years ago. I loved this tape series. This has no music in the background, it's his voice only. Most of the tapes are unplayable now, and some of them are missing, that's how long I've had them.
I remember that I used to take out certain tapes and put them in my purse to listen to while walking or traveling. I loved it; especially to prepare for or review a Bible study lesson in church.
But getting back to the narrator, Alexander Scourby, he is excellent. His voice is clear, not harsh, very pleasant to listen to and he makes it easy to comprehend the text being spoken.
Now guess what I found for you? A website of audio CD's where you can listen to some of the different CD's offered to help you decide which one you prefer. Some of these same CD's are on Amazon where they cost much less. This site, I would only use for 'review', not purchase unless I needed something from them that no one else had available.
Here's the link to click and review some of the CD's listed on their site:

My personal choices would be James Earl Jones, but he only narrates the New Testament, not the Old Testament. Still, I like his voice...afterall, he's Simba's Daddie (Lion King)
and I've always admired his work as an artist.

I hope this helps. I really do like Alexander Sourby's narration of the Bible. I hope other members can share their views with your as well.
Take care...
