Me. I've begun a memoir of my life called Papa's Life, with weekly installments of stories for my kids and grandkids. I type up the story, then read it into a recording to embed in the Word file. That way they can have both the text and my voice for when I am gone. So far, I am up to #5 and have 40-50 ideas in mind. I love it. Second choice is DEF3's Keith Richards. Priceless.
 
In the science fiction novel, Enders Game, Orson Scott Card introduces the concept of “speaker for the dead”.

This is a professional that is hired after someone’s death. The speaker interviews family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, business associates and even enemies.

The speaker compiles a full and honest summary of this persons life and presents it in an unbiased eulogy.

Interesting idea. One not likely to catch on.
 
...I know this is a little obscure, but Dr. Irving Finkel is a Curator at the British Museum and one of the world's leading experts at reading cuneiform tablets. He has a YouTube presence and his voice, delivery, and sense of humor is mesmerizing.
