You missed out Andrew Bonar Law. He came after David Lloyd George. Although was only Prime Minister for less than a year. I’m been looking everywhere to hear his voice, but can’t find it at all.
No Lord Salisbury, no AJ Balfour (his nephew), no Henry Campbell-Bannerman, not even Bonar Law, who only took office after the Great War. Mike fright must have been a long time dying among prime ministers.
Well Salisbury and bannerman died very soon after leaving office and bonar law could hardly talk at the end of his premier, but surprised that Balfour did not have a recording, also there could be recordings that are not online
Only Wilson sounds something akin to a typical Englishman, and he was the first and so far only one. Although Heath and Thatcher had to shed their regional accents.

Heath sounds really same in The Crown

Crown, thanks mate (I watched both shows, so that's the mix)
He sounds similar to Boris Johnson.
Attlee's tone was quiet high
Theodore Roosevelt also had a quite high voice

There are some recordings at Oxford DNB (Dictionary of National Biography) but you have to subscribe and there may be a charge
Rosebery (1847-1929, PM 1894-5) and Balfour (1848-1930, PM 1902-5) both outlived Asquith (1852-1928, PM 1908-16).
