Your character's voice

SerriceSerrice the Black Fox
edited August 2014 in Harpy's Head Tavern
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'.

    Her voice almost musical in quality, Sarita says, "I think you mistake my meaning."

    Depending on what's going on, a trace of an unusual accent might come through too.

    I was going to respond to this thread, but it's hard.

    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."
    I mean, you know, an amount.
