Would of he been seen as a better Bond for some if his voice was more deeper then whisky?
What about prescence, I've read somewhere that he had the same movement teacher as Connery, but still moved differently?

Well it took 7 years but that paid off in 2002.

Indeed.

I think his name was Yat Malegram, I think he teached Connery how to own the screen with his presence, move like a graceful cat on the hunt. It's what got him in front of the producers.

In my case... certainly! Brosnan is the only Bond actor without a commanding voice.

For me, the voice was always somewhat of an issue (it was a strange accent anyway and Mr Beech points out - never commanding). Plus I got the sense he was never entirely comfortable playing his scenes, although he did improve towards the end of his tenure.
