I do voiceover work from time to time (very masculine, James Earl Jones-type voice, I played a minor bad guy in a GTA game most recently), and it's one of the first things women comment on. I heard it all when I used to do customer service in a phone center--some clients would only speak with me.
I LOVE accents--Italian, Southern, you name it. If I had to choose I'd go with the Southern accent. The New York accent is only attractive to me when the woman speaking it doesn't use slang and has good diction.
I have a deep husky voice and back when I was young the teased me call me Miss 1-900. But oddly that is offset when I get too animated as turning into a Fran Dresher nasally-ness that just the opposite.

I sound a like a hick. So, yeah. Hope you're into that.
My voice is pretty deep, but I think that comes from 1) drinking, and 2) playing sports. When you learn to breathe deep and speak from your diaphragm, you produce a deeper, fuller sound. And liquor tends to burn the lining in your throat, so if you want to sound like James Taylor, just start throwing them back.
A good example of people who have good voices, or at least know how to properly project is at your local Renaissance Fair. Look for, or listen out for, the dude with the bell who's yelling in Olde English. It's hard to do that for long periods of time. I remember going up to one of those guys and asking him how he hollers so much, and he said water and breathing from his diaphragm. And I asked "well how do you do that?" and he said "practice panting like a dog before talking". It sounded strange at the time, but the dude was in the Renaissance Fair so of course he was strange. Nice guy, though.
A well-modulated voice is a godsend. I can't stand nasal voices, high voices, and people whose every sentence ends on an upnote. You know? Like everything is a question? Because they are idiots? And can't complete a thought with confidence and surety?
My voice goes one of two ways: cartoon character, or Mom voice
Lol!
I have a voice of a young girl.Its rather annoying, if I get asked one more time "Is your mother home?" I'm gonna scream.
