Yes. She gets the tone exactly right! It could be a difficult subject, but her intonations are perfect for this task.
We absolutely love Linnea!! You're voice is so comforting when you speak.
The Legacy team handles this subject matter appropriately and with dignity. Linnea's voice is perfect for these videos. Thank you for your kind introduction.
It's such a pleasure to meet you all, I appreciate what you all do, for you all do it with respect and grace. You didn't have to do this video, (speaking for myself ), I was satisfied with you all delivering the weekly news of the departed. Thank you and God bless you all always.
Oh my goodness 😮. It’s so cool to “meet you”. I appreciate you. ❤
Linnea I love hearing your voice...I expected you to be an older lady...nice to meet you guys and have a face to go with the voice❤

Same! I'm surprised how young she is!
Thank you to ALL of you! ✝️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you’re reporting a death but it isn’t like the news. You do so with respect, dignity and compassion and we can hear it in your voices. I’ve always appreciated that.
We love Linnea. Great meeting you!
It’s very nice to finally see faces to the lovely voices 🙏🏽
Linnea your voice is amazing
I can always count on Legacy to be giving us honest, accurate reporting. . I like the anniversaries & half-staff. Linnea has a comforting voice. Thank you.
It's great to see the people behind the scenes. One of the things I love about your channel is how respectful you are of the families of the people you feature & how respectful you are of their privacy when a person's cause of death hasn't been released.
Linnea and all the voice talent at Legacy do a great job. Everyone who helps research, write, and produce also do a great job. Thanks for giving us the chance to meet you. I really enjoy your videos each week.
Nice to put faces to the voices. It's so nice to hear actual human beings in these videos instead of computer generated voices. Thank you for presenting this information with dignity and respect.
This is wonderful. The faces behind the calm, respectful voices 😊
Enjoy the content, Thank you, Team Legacy
What a lovely surprise, thank you!!!
Me and my spouse are so grateful for all the time & work that everyone at Legacy does to produce these weekly videos. Linnea's narration, and her substitutes Steve and John, are second to none. Please don't change a thing - it is perfect the way it is. The weekly Legacy video gives KZread validity to us. Thank You so much. More than my mere words can express.
Awesome to meet you. I am from South Africa and have to say that one of the reasons I enjoy watching the program is because of your beautiful soothing voice. Thank you for the opportunity to meet you ❤️
You are all fantastic! Thank you for your dedication and respect. The history is amazing!
I watch and listen every Friday out of respect. I LOVE your half staff memorials and honestly those are the ones that make me cry. So many have given their lives in service. Thank you for your work. It is meaningful.
So great to meet the voices behind the scenes!! Excellent job to all!!!
You do a great job all of you. Its really neat when you can put a face to a voice.
I listen to you every Friday. I appreciate dearly the respect you give each and every person you eulogise. Such a welcome respite from our crazy society today. May God continue to bless your work and all of your staff and family.
I never clicked on a video so fast in my life! Well done to all 3 of you, Linnea, Steve and John. I consider you and your team to be the gold standard for "reporting recent deaths in the news". It was a pleasure to meet you three~ 💜💙💚 Joan
Thank you for doing this. It was nice to see the faces of those who so compassionately deliver sad news. Blessings…
Wonderful meeting all 3 of you! Joey in Cleveland
Faces to go with the voices! It's a pleasure meeting all of you. Linnea, your voice is lovely, made for voice work, and your narration is so soothing. Happy anniversary, and thank you for sharing this with us.
There are quite a few KZreadrs who report on the deaths of prominent people, but I have only watched your channel for quite some time for a number of reasons; Linnea's comforting voice, the respectful narrative you put together and the fact that you don't report on rumors are some of those reasons. I am baffled that you do not have a million or more subscribers! Thank you for all you do.
So great to meet all of you fine folks ❤️❤️❤️
Your voice is so comforting and it is awesome to finally see your face!!!
I am from Euclid Ohio. Thank you for mentioning Jacob our young police officer who died in may!
Your team does a great job and I'm grateful for the respectful presentations. I did think Linnea's voice was much older. Glad to see who she is. 😋
Glad to meet you Linea, Steven & David! Great channel. It's a celebration of life, and always so respectful.❤❤ PS, i am from South Bend IN, not far from Chi-town, so i figured you were either a Hoosier or an Illinoisan Linnea😊
Hello Legacy team. 👏👏👏

Hello and thank you for all you do. Linnea, I want to say to you that you have the best pronunciation. Your voice sounds so amazing.

Thank you very much for all of you, for what you do at the end of the week. So please keep on doing what you are doing 👍😎
I enjoyed getting to know what goes on behind the scenes. Lenea, I’m sure that’s not how you spell your name, but I love your voice. It’s so soothing. You do a wonderful job narrating. I appreciate all of you! Thank you!!
I love her. Everyone is so respectful to those who have passed.
Love your channel, and Linnea, you have a wonderful voice and name.

Life affirming. Well said, Stephen. I watch in part because it makes me grateful for having been granted 68 years so far!
YEAH, THAT'S THEM...NEVER THOUGHT OF THEM AS A I‼️‼️‼️ LOVE YOU GUYS, LOVE THE CHANNEL ‼️‼️‼️ THANK YOU FOR BEING GENTLE‼️‼️‼️
I just wanted to say how much I love your show and I hope you're doing it for a long time. And Linnea, your accent sounds exactly the same as mine since I was born and raised in Libertyville and Mundelein. As for Wisconsin, many of my relatives came from that state. We must be soul sisters.
Hi Linnea! You have a very pretty voice. And the guys sound good too. You treat your material very respectfully.
I really love watching and listening to Legacy death obituary because it keeps us informed on the People who have past on that has made Movie and music and all other kinds of notable lives ...of Famous people...🙏 and I wish to say thank you for taking your time in keeping us updated on notable people Deaths ...
I appreciate that Legacy is accurate and responsible in their reporting. You are one of very few news outlets that are legitimate and honest. Thank you all for what you do.
Linnea - I have to tell you that I find your voice soothing - and somehow SO respectful-sounding for the type of work you are doing. Thank you all for what you bring to us. It's sad that it takes a person's passing to find out details some of us never knew.
Hi Linnea! I love your warm, soothing voice and the fact that you pronounce people’s names correctly. As for your accent I always that it’s mid-western accent. I too, thought you were older. I always miss your voice when you take a needed break.❤ Not only is it sad that people who we are fans of or admired them but it really shows the passage of time. Every time I realize that I need to enjoy the time I have now with the people I admire and love. Your soothing voice is always welcome.

@@lenaaustin6692 We all have accents-some people don’t hear them unless they’re thick enough to be challenging to understand, and many, many people just aren’t tuned in to them because it’s no big deal to them, and some-such as myself-try to figure it out for myself. When I lived in WDC, I got really, really good with southern accents and could tell the differences between Alabama and North Carolina, for instance…but I moved back to California whence I came and they returned to being a southern blur. I think my interest in accents is part of the musical life I’ve led.

Wow thank you all for being so respectful and to meet you all 🙏🥰❤️
It's so nice to see the faces behind the voices we hear on the Legacy You Tube channel! Linnea, your voice couldn't be more ideal for the subject matter. Always kind, respectful, and informative. Death is just as important as birth and life, and you help us to understand that. Thanks so much for your excellent work.
Thank you !
It’s nice to put faces to the voices. 👍😊
It was so nice to put faces to your names! Thank you for answering the questions. I appreciate your integrity, and I'm one of your viewers who stays tuned to the end because of respect for those we may not know but who died in the line of duty or otherwise served us.
Thank you so much for doing this video! You all do a remarkable job and I really appreciate your dedication!
Beautiful voices. Many thanks! And thanks again for posting Hobo Shoestring's obituary. Mark Nichols was special to a lot of us.
Love Linnea! PS) I thought Wisconsin as well, LOL! Chicago makes sense; now I know why you pronounce all of the Polish last names so well! Much respect, from Laura in EU.
Hey Linnea!
Her voice is soothing and reassuring. Perfect for this type of reporting.
Thank you for all you do and for your dedication in doing this.
It is wonderful to see the faces of the voices behind the commentary. I watch every week. There is always a person(s) passing that carries a nostalgic memory, feeling or a time of “l remember when….” Thank you!
Hello from Montreal Canada. Happy to meet the group. You work hard and I look forward to see your video every week... Well.... Only for the recent deaths.
Nice to meet you! I love your videos and appreciate the work you do to be respectful
