The description sucks, but...
Not every villain has to sound like one. Perhaps, instead of having a malevolent rasp, a gloating shrill, or a booming baritone, the villain's voice is instead light and low. They don't yell or intimidate, and might not even be impolite - instead they speak with a solf tone that seems unassuming, meek or even kind, with a soft chuckle and a sort of warm energy... hiding the menace within. The end result is something dissonant and creepy, a monster who might describe just how horribly he's going to mangle you, while speaking in a voice that's anything but monstrous.
See also Affably Evil, Dissonant Serenity, and compare Wicked Cultured. Note that, if and when they eventually drop this softspoken demeanor, then that's a surefire sign things are going to get bad.
