okay then I just figure out a very interesting topic

how is our voice or accent in the world of bon bon? I figure we have our vatar ready, and why not out voice who fits our personality?

example:

forgive me miss symphony I hope you're not angry of me using you as an example x3
well she is an opera singer. how would she sill sound when she sing? or talk? I figure out and found an excellent example, of course If symphony doesn;t agree I understand x3

maybe she can sing as beautiful as this one?

and yes I know its from dmc 4 but only the singing is important

now my char, i think she would sound with a bit of british accent, like this lady from underworld 3

now, how would your character sounds like?

PS: it would be very good if you have a voice example even if its from someone else.

Ernest speaks with an Irish brogue, with a smattering of American and English mixed in for good measure.

Sha'Kaar most definitely speaks with a European accent, with a vocabulary of one from high stature. One of trained society.

Though when he speaks with anger his words are rough, wild and raw. With no society to them.

Tsavo speaks with a British accent. He speaks quietly but has a deep bass filled voice, except when angered. Then he'd speak in a booming growl.

Ashton Gray has a soft English accent. It was stronger, but his time abroad softened it.

Lidia Apricot has an alto voice with a hint of hazy in it and has a American accent.

Crimson has a mix of Irish and Scottish in his accent.

Ewan speaks with an Irish accent, that has been diluted by his time travelling the world.

Xeb's in the lower baritone ranges. His normal accent is quite British but he can affect the accents of whatever language he's speaking fairly well.

Tearlach's accent is a soft scottish brouge, akin to Sir Sean Connery's. Embarassed

Johnny has a fairly low-timbre (about high to middle baritone), slightly raspy voice. His accent is Midwestern American, sometimes slipping in a slight touch of Texas drawl to it. When he speaks, he sometimes has a tendency to begin sentences with a soft chuckle, and his normal speaking voice also tends to be low and soft.

[In real life, my voice is much the same, except I have a Midwestern American accent that tends to slip into Upper Midwest "Yooper" speak from time to time, eh?]

If I had an easy example of what I think my character's voice sounds like, I'd post it, but I really don't have one. Nor does my real recorded voice sound anything like I hear it in my own head (not that I have any way of putting my voice into a sound file anyway, since I have no microphone for my computer).

Royal Member of BonBon Joined: 08 Oct 2008 Posts: 3273

Lol. Same here. Although I have a microphone, I, too, don't want to post my voice here XP.

If the technology is made and we can listen to it by clicking the characters in the comic I will do it,but until then use your fantasy.

Okay, with some further thought on the matter, I realized probably the best way to describe my character's voice is the Captain Malcolm Reynolds, played by Nathan Fillion, from the TV series Firefly and its sequel movie Serenity. Not a very thickly "Southern" accent, just a basic American (Midwestern) accent with the occasional "y'all" and dropping the g in words ending in -ing. The tone of his voice is pretty close, too, though mine (and my character's) is a bit more scratchy and raspy.

Well, Tadelesh's voice is.. complicated. Laughing

As he grew up in upper class Britain, his original voice would be somewhat akin to the stereotypical British accent ("What ho", "Pip pip", "Jolly good", etc. Laughing

). However, he's travelled to several countries in the world in the past five years, so his accent isn't as strong as it was, and has picked up slight parts of other accents. I can't really give an example, I'm afraid. I could record my voice, as it's similar to what I envision for him, but I don't like hearing my own voice once it's recorded. Laughing

That's not a bad example there, Kiala.

But I personally imagine my fursona to have a slightly more powerful voice. It's a bit difficult to explain.

Here's the voice that inspired me to pick opera singer as occupation, and I think it's a pretty good example of what Constance would sound like when singing:
