I was under the impression that Cecil B. de Mille was the voice of God in TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Wait! I guess I'm wrong. This from Wikipedia (not Gospel, but...):

The voice of God at the burning bush scene is Charlton Heston's, slightly slowed down and deepened. Heston's voice was recorded for the film in the marble chapel at Fairhaven Mausoleum in Santa Ana, CA.

The voice of God at the giving of the Ten Commandments is a chorus of several male voices including, principally, Heston's and DeMille's - recorded separately with one track laid on top of the other and tinkered with electronically. It is said that this was a very time-consuming and difficult process (it would be less so today).

The other voices of this chorus were those of actor and singer Delos Jewkes and DeMille's publicist and biographer Donald Hayne.
