Perhaps in Ohio.

When we say "homely" we mean- def. lacking in physical attractiveness; not beautiful; unattractive.

To mean what you are saying, we typically use "homey".

(of course in some circles "homey" is an endearing term for a trusted friend)

I don't know why homely should mean lacking in attractiveness. It sounds as though it should mean home-like, or like home.

Elempi sounds like one of my neighbors (mostly because he looks like him, too...). He has a nice voice, that is not too deep, and he laughs a bunch. If he ever sang, he'd be a tenor.

Piosenniel has a nice, reassuring and somewhat firm voice, somewhat deep, but still definitely feminine.

Tevildo sounds like an 18 year old, his voice still somewhat boyish and merry most of the time. Listen to just about any 18 year old and you'll know what I mean.......

That's all I can think of right now.
