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

Up until the other day, I thought of Hookbill as having a very strong American accent (perhaps slightly southern?) and a somewhat high-pitched pre-adlescent voice. This all changed the other day when I looked in his profile and found out that he is in fact not a 13- or 14-year-old from the Southern US, but in fact an almost-18-year-old from Britain. Now I just can't figure out what his voice sounds like!

Thanks, Morsul... but I entirely lack the sweetness of Ms. Tyler's voice.

Okay, I know some of you talk to yourselves. Everyone does it. When you're talking to yourself, that's your "real voice".

I've never really imagined anyone's voice, actually...

Lalwendë has a voice that is deeper than woman's wont, though soft and mellow - she keeps her tone even.

Hookbílle dé Gôômbar tries not to speak too fast, but when he gets to talking, he speeds up rapidly. He's got a clear manner of speaking.

The Short Who Be Guy says "ohm" a lot, perhaps he tends to drone.

Meneltarmacil speaks slowly, and has a drawl. His voice is rather "yellow" in tone.

Davem sounds like Charlton Heston - deep, measured, gravelly and dangerous.

Morm doesn't speak all that too often, but when he does, his voice is noticeable and commanding. Only exception is when his daughter was very young(er), when he tended to say "Goobly-goo" a lot.

Nilp, belike his habits online, does not talk to himself all that much. He does, however, talk to his computer screen affectionately, as he would to an errant puppy. I could go farther with this analogy, but I won't.

The Barrow-Wight sounds like a valley girl. Except when he quotes Tolkien or Barrow-Down edicts, then he speaks with a voice as deep as the mountains and dark as the roots thereof.

And in the darkness to tooootally bind them

I don't know about you, but:

Littlemanpoet has always reminded me of a sort of Robin Williams voice, especially from Dead Poets Society. Which by the way, is one of the best movies ever.

Encaitare... Ah, let's see. I've always heard her as a sort of refined Amanda Palmer, and I mean 'refined' by a sense of that she carries a unique and wonderfully adapt humor. Also, I find that Encaitare's voice carries a good quality of bold truth. Of course, I would have to take out some of the 'Bostonian' accent as well, I've never seen Encaitare as being one in this atmosphere. So, yes, something akeen to this.

Gil-Galad has, and for many years will sound like Woody Allen to me... For such reasons are too many and too confusing to chase down.
