What do your characters sound like?

[rainbowolfe]

Oh, this sounds fun! o3o I'll do the some of the main characters from Destiny Awaits

Tai
She sounds incredibly young, looks young, and she hates everyone who points it out. So it's only natural that she sounds like everyone's favorite president: Vanellope Von Schweetz with hints of Rainbow Dash.

Alistair
I didn't always have a voice for him, and just pictured him as sounding really cool, despite being a total nerd. But then I found this new anime, and decided he would sound like Ledo from Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet

Julius
She sounds like a younger version of Pearl, from Steven Universe. She even sings like her too!

Kayla
She totally sounds like Barbara Dunkleman. She's like, one of the few adults, and needs a playful but adulty voice.

Shayanna
Another voice from Steven Universe, she would sound like Connie.

Halo
He sounds an awful lot like Gavin Free, with less of the accent.

Taylor
Even though it sounds kinda silly, I always imagine Taylor sounding like Scaredy Squirrel, but maybe pitched down a little XD

The Narrator
The Narrator sounds like Cryaotic, because they both have voices like butter :o

[KSlinger]

I'm not American so I don't know the accent I'm actually talking about, (South American, maybe?) but I've always imagined Jed to sound like Hozier when he's singing Take Me To Church. West is most similar to a spaghetti Western set in the arctic so many of the characters accents reflect that. Serge doesn't, though. His accent is more refined.

This is interesting!
I guess I'll think of voices for my comic Rooftop Bookshop since it's the furthest along out of my comics.

For Blaize I was thinking a generally light-hearted voice, but one that can get serious when need be. Very excitable and wears all of his emotions on his sleeve, so his voice would be very expressive, and honest.

Laurent would have a deep, calm, monotone voice, doesn't say a lot, but when he has to speak, he's heard, but all in all, he really doesn't speak too much since he has a habit of slipping off, or just being asleep in general.

Rory would have a calm, honest, gentle voice, one that makes you feel at ease when speaking, but not a voice that stays calm as Rory tends to get excitable. Has a tendency to speak quickly.

Z would sound like Rami Malek... Hands down no questions asked, that's what he would sound like . I don't even know how else I would describe his voice. Uhm, but as for tone of speaking, he would have a sort of sarcastic and teasing tone most of the time, though he is capable of taking on a more serious tone when he's well; more serious.

Quinn would have a quiet voice, one that's hard to hear if you're not really listening, very soft spoken and patient in tone.

Cool topic...I guess for my two main characters from R:ILPERSONA

RADE (left) has always sounded like a younger, teenage(Rade is 18 years old) Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop(the voice actor from the english dub). He's got an north eastern "American" style accent (even though in the series, which takes place in a post apocalyptic future, "America" does not exist)

STRYKES(right): has an English/British accent, and she is 19 years old so she sounds youthful, but very serious.

[Kyosu]

my comic is One of Us
here my characters for the moment, I have others but I never thought a voice for them.

Na'hiraakiin has a voice like david hayter when he is unmasked. But whe he wear his mask, he has a voice like Solid snake.

Ma'sìtiri's voice is just like Yuna from FFX.

Taya has a voice like lady Galadriel.

[whydocowsfall]

For me it's the same as for @Kaykedrawsthings - my characters all kinda sound like me! I never really think about voices so this sort of question kinda throws me a bit. Odysseus sounds like a movie star probably. I can't quite decide who because I don't want him to sound too American or too English, but maybe someone like George Clooney or maybe Liam Neeson. I don't know - imagine your favourite male movie star and he probably sounds like that!

Polyphemus... I honestly couldn't say. Lower than I would expect but not too low. I can't imagine anything other than my own voice for him! D:

[joannekwan]

I'll just list the ones I've thought about.

Haxan - Steven Blum (Spike Spiegel, Zabuza, bunch of shit) or Sonny Strait (Toonami's TOM)

Fawn - Maggie Baird (Samara from Mass Effect) but a few years younger

Andreas - Nolan North (Desmond Miles, Nathan Drake)

[ErithEl]

Hearing a character's voice has always been the trickiest part for me. It's interesting to see how many of you really have a clear picture of a specific actor or voice actor who would potentially play your characters!

I tend to read my script aloud to make sure the dialogue flows and makes sense, and one thing that just kindof happened was an accent for most of my characters. Two of them, Keela and Bran, are from Maryland, USA, but the other characters are from another world. Moreover, they are from a world where the inhabitants are half human, half animal, and I created a language to fit that (hopefully).

When I started reading the lines in this other language, this accent kindof just developed – a mix between Oberyn Martell from GoT: reference scene here (don't watch if you don't want spoilers) and strangely enough Dug from Up: scene reference here.

I can hear it best for these two:

And now I'm considering whether there should be different accents for others regions within the world...

[SpavVy]

I'll go in order by the picture

Lucy I'd picture her sounding like Jamie Marchi who has played as Panty from Panty and Stocking with Garter-belt and Lizz from Soul Eater.

Jack would sound like Robert McCollum the voice actor of Dante from Sengoku Basara

Trent I would love to see be voiced by Todd Haberkorn

Mel I think would sound like Terra Strong by doing one of her more cute childish voices.

[winglesscomic]

I'm kinda cheating cause I already voice my own character???!@@!

All my characters have really clear voices, when I think about them in my head. voice actors? no idea but I know exactly what they are all supposed to sound like.

[scythe]

All of my characters have Australian accents in my head, even though none of them are Australian.

I have daydreamed though who would play my characters in a movie. My main character Ella would be Emily Blunt. My guy in hat would be John Hurt. So their voices are as good as any.

[Cielle]

wow, what an interesting (and tough!) question! I can hear my character's voices in my head so well, but trying to find a real-life equivalent was more difficult than I thought =_=

after listening to a bunch of voice actors who I thought might work, here's what I came up with:

Max sounds like a mix between Satsuki Yukino (Kaname Chidori in Full Metal Panic, Yoruichi in Bleach, and Tae in Gintama) and Ayumi Fujimura (Misaki in Kaichou wa maid-sama, Pitou in HunterxHunter, Ayano in Kaze no Stigma). She has a mezzo-soprano voice and is the type to get easily excited. She wears her heart on her sleeve and has no problems giving people a piece of her mind (even if she probably shouldn't). Here and here and Here are some examples.

Rei sounds like Nobuhiko Okamoto (Takumi in Kaichou wa Maid-Sama, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, Obi in akagami no shiroyuki-hime) and Kamiya Hiroshi (Izaya in Durarara!, Yato in Noragami, Kou/Recruit in Arakawa under the bridge). He has a slight accent, something along the lines of mid-atlantic, that makes his origins hard to place, but he is easy to understand. He doesn't raise his voice very often and generally gives off an air of "this is too troublesome" or "I can't be bothered".Here and here and here are some examples.

Even though my characters don't speak Japanese (I guess technically they aren't speaking English either but whatever) I think I watch more anime than any other media with voices, so those are the voices I imagine. It's the timbre and tone of the voice that matters to me more than the actual words.

[Aspie_Gamer]

My main character, Susan Graham, from my comic Life of an Aspie, would probably sound like either Zooey Deschanel or Hayley Williams imo because of her adorkable quirky personality.

[igneriss]

I know how I want some of my characters to sound like, though it's hard to think of living people with those voices cx but let's try~

Kestrel, main character of my webcomic, has a voice that sounds like something in between nightcored Amy Lee (x), and Alexa PenaVega in Repo! (x)

Jerzy would be something like Marek Grechuta (x)

Ellie would sound somewhere between Sharon den Adel (x) and Olga Bończyk in Swan Princess (x)

Rikka's voice is quite low, but still sounds really young. Possibly like Iga Pogarda (x)?

Karamanczi's voice would be like Uwe Kröger, probably (x)

[Jewe11s]

Just when you thought this post was lost to the vastness of the internet... I was just thinking of asking this same question to the forums but found that it had been already done

I've been trying to figure out what my cast would sound like and have been having a tough time.

The only character I've settled on for sure is the elvish soldier Toques Windfall:

He would 100% be played by Arin Hanson (Egoraptor).

[SirHellsir]

From left to right
Colette would sound a little like lenore the cute little dead girl
Atlas like shirohige, but always speaking screaming
Pio is harder, something like a silly not-so-silly voice, like a mix of korosensei and nox from wakfu
Y and X would sound as generic as posible (X speaks in my voice since is the only one that speaks with a normal voice)
Jack sounds like me when I have no voice, something like a soft raspy voice. Or something like taxidermy from lenore the cute little dead girl, but without the accent and more raspy

[bsienk90]

OMG This is the coolest thing. I actually paired up actors/models/youtube personalities with my characters before. My two characters are from Confessions.

Thomas would sound something like John Barrowman. Like Thomas just has a really down to earth voice like that.

And young Rick sounding like Chris Colfer and the older Rick sounding like Michael Buckley.

I think I may have thought about this wayyyy to much. I guess that is what happens when you work on characters for 10 plu years. LOL.

[maelstrom51210]

I imagine most of the side characters in Demon King having kinda southern accents (even though the story takes place in Japan, lol.) Aya has a sort of standard anime teenage girl voice and Toru has a bit of a gravely, deep voice. Whenever I get my boyfriend to read he always gives him an emo/ Edward Cullen voice, heh.

Oh, and the demons have echoey voices. Cuz'.

[Kelty]

a few of my kiddos already have voices! 8D

These two, James and Elaine, were both voiced by my amazing friend and earliest reader, Jon, and it's honestly perfect in my opinion. James was also once voiced by ProZD as a gift of sorts from another amazing friend/reader.

Victor the best dad in the world was voiced by my buddy Prof, who is probably lurking around these forums somewhere. Shout out to my main man.

Tolly here just showed up for the first time in the comic yesterday, but my girl Taily did a voice over for her, and also James sorta.

And I like to think the two hikers from my Prologue sound like Danny and Arin from the Game Grumps :'D

[indigodrawing]

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was about to start a new one more or less along the same lines.

I have three main characters for my comic in development so far. I don't really have a voice in mind for Reese yet, other than he sounds like he's from the North-West of England (because he is!), and I don't have much idea what Zoey sounds like other than she's from LA, but I know who Clare would sound like if I was picking actors to voice her in some animated version or whatever. I think she'd sound a lot like Jenna Coleman as Clara Oswald from Doctor Who, except maybe pitched slightly higher. The accent and general tone of voice is more or less spot on.
