Re: Your favorite French female voices
Thank you so much, everybody! These are amazing resources, and I've really enjoyed my preliminary forays into the world of links that you've shared. I see a lot of potential for imitation here, to say nothing of what I may happen to learn from what the speakers are actually saying.
Merci à tous !

Juliette Binoche interview, I think in 2011. I like the way she speaks, especially in French.

Re: Your favorite French female voices
Yes, thanks; she's wonderful. Especially since she speaks slowly so I can understand her.
I love all French women who speak slowly.

Re: Your favorite French female voices
I've also always taken notice of female French voices I really like. One of my favorites has always been Najat Vallaud-Belkacem (Ministre de l'éducation under Hollande): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nsg2SZnNzYs&t=351s
Here she is with MLP in the same video for easy comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5HHrZwwpSE
Others I like:
Journalist Audrey Pulvar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6UigOSmoPQ
Géraldine Muhlmann who is (was?) a TV presenter (interviewer) and professor (she's the one being interviewed, wearing the leather jacket): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTZlvzn10P4
Less "posées" are the two actresses Adèle Haenel and Adèle Exarchopoulos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZczFEDTF4
Director Céline Sciamma (also Adèle Haenel's girlfriend): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuIG0w0thUM
Also some voices that randomly caught my ear:
A YouTuber La parisienne libérée: https://youtu.be/ftZEYc-Kz7k?t=2m15s
And I don't have a clip of it but in the French dub of How I Met Your Mother, season 4 episode 21 The Three Days Rule I really liked the voice of the woman Ted was supposed to have been texting. It might be my all-time favorite and I have no idea who she is.

Thank you very much! These are fabulous. Some of the names I had known only from reading the news or from publicity; nice to put names and voices to faces.

I've just listened, and... #goals. Her voice is also of a timbre not far off from mine/my mother's, so it would be less taxing to try to imitate her speech patterns. Woohoo!
