I already mentioned Michael Wood

The other person I think of is a nameless man whom I encountered
while eating with my wife in a local Thai restaurant.

As many such places do, they had a TV running above the bar,
silently.

Then suddenly, I heard what I took to be an announcer with a
voice which rolled over me like audible melted chocolate, 
but the topics I could make up were the most mundane and
personal I could imagine.

I looked up, and discovered it was not the TV, but a man
at another table, talking to his wife.

I've sometimes wondered if he used his voice professionally.
I have no idea who it was.
