How do you imagine other BDers . . . speak - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hookbill the Goomba · 08-09-2005, 02:04 PM

It’s amusing looking at how people have described my voice.

In fact I've been told I have a very 'posh' accent. Of this, I am proud! What, what?

Okay;

The Barrow Wight is like the Witch King on the BBC Dramatization of The Lord of the Rings!

The Saucepan man has a Brian Blessed like voice!

Nilp has the voice of a Scots man.

Gil-Gallad has the voice of Michel Moor.

Now I'm going to hide from the impending wroth of those who are about to attack me for this post!

Heren Istarion has an Italian accent. Yup. Aware he isn't Italian and so this is, at the very least, a little doubtful, but hey. See, I did a scuba diving course this week when I was on holiday, and on the second day he created the heavens and the...sorry, distracted. Ahem, sorry, on the second day, there was a scuba diver who looked so very, very like our dear H-I; so much so that I was actually tempted to sort of subtly mutter 'George' or 'Heren' when I passed him: that is just how convinced I was.

...and the I passed him a regulator and he replied with 'gratsia'. Ah. Not H-I then. But nevertheless, it is the voice H-I has now inherited - and a damn good voice it is as well.

The B-W sounds just like my uncle, who he looks uncannily like.

H-I sounds like one of the Beatles. I think I got this impression due to the fact that he has a very Beatle-esque haircut.

SpM has neither a very deep voice nor a high voice. His british accent is very light which is appreciated by his American friends.

Mithalwen has a flowery smooth voice that is very soft and soothing.

Kuruharan and a deep and guttural voice that commands respect. He's essentially, in all aspects, a dwarf to me with the lack of facial hair.

Oromin, if that is indeed your picture on your avatar......you look like a hobbit, my dear! A precious, cute, little hobbit lass! That's great! I just look like a stupid human... -_- *sadness* And not even a pretty stupid human! Just an ugly stupid human!

I always pictured The Saucepan Man looking like Sam with a crazy gleam in his eyes. (I'm sure you're all making the connection: Sam--saucepans? Nothing? He cooks, okay! Jeez...)

With Meneltarmacil, the mention of him sends his RotK Aragorn at the Black Gate avatar into my head. I think you lot know which one I mean.

Saucepanman changes voices in my head

Let me see yes in the quizroom(most notaly cryptic clues) he has the voice of a pompous British person(only cuz he's intimidating), the rest of the time he's cheery willy wonka(gene wilder)

I sort of agree with Eomer in a sense. Perhaps each person hears voices in their own unique way. Just like what I see as red being red may look orange to you, if that made any sense at all.

Anyways....
Amanaduial the archer: has a classic feminine voice that is quite common on those American comercials.

Gil-Gallad: sounds pompous and jolly, and has a deep voice.
