If you had to set a string that would be appended to all your says (like: Serrice says, (talk string), "Blah.") that generally characterized/described their voice, what would it be?
No cheating, a la 'in a voice reminiscent of Orlando Bloom'.
With a boisterously loud drawl, Piper says, "Welcome to the Space Jam!"
Her voice changing in tone almost manically, Clovis argues, "I do NOT understand basketball. What, what, and who designed this game? Why must you be tall for it?"
I think there's almost too many of these, when you account for a wide vocal range and wildly varying personality.
Voice girlish, and cloyingly sweet, Aishia asks, "Is that for me?" Like she's talking with a mouthful of angry cats, Aishia hisses, "Mine!" Shrieking like a hawk fighting a dolphin, Aishia screams, "Those are my plants!!!!" So stern and imperious, Aishia says in an unusually subdued and serious stoic (yet) soft voice, "Oh crap, some sort of serious event is going on and I can't be freaking out right now."
I think if you need to add a descriptor instead of using say, it shouldn't qualify. So like, hisses, asks, screams, snarls -- I don't think those would count.
I was more looking for like, something universal to your voice. Like, if I IRL hiss, ask, scream or snarl, it'll still be recognizably my voice, not anyone else.
I definitely agree with Aishia. Moi's voice changes based on situation, subject and audience. I'm a bit lazy so I kinda fall into set stuff. Here's basically like 90% of my RP:
In a curt, cold tone, Moirean nods, raises her eyebrow, twitches her tail and crisply states, "Carnifex stuff and things."
Greedily eyeing whatever doomsday device is the focus of the current world event, Moirean extemporizes, "I am definitely not about to nearly destroy the world. Again. Spires!"
Lips pursing in a tantrumy sulk, Moirean fidgets, whining, "Buuuut Toooooooz..."
Making sudden, harsh syllables softer while emphasizing trailing vowels to a practically erotic length, Reux says, "What do you want from me?"
Breathing heavily, the bass deep and powerful enough to be felt as much as heard, Reux says with a feral tongue, "...because I'm done with this play of words."

Areka says in a coarse, smoke-marred alto, "Objection!"
Abhorash says, "Ve'kahi has proved that even bastards can earn their place."

Depending on what's going on, a trace of an unusual accent might come through too.
His voice a throaty rumble, Haern says, "Slam jam."
Alexina says in a pleasant, silvern tone, "Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you."
Her voice changing in tone almost manically, Clovis argues, "I do NOT understand basketball. What, what, and who designed this game? Why must you be tall for it?"
I remember, involve me and I
learn.

the way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine

His voice fizzing like soda pop, Trigru says, "Gloop gloop!"
"The smell of dusty fur, sweet smoke, waiting and patience, a thing that time cannot kill. The moth that candles won't burn."
