How do you imagine other BDers . . . speak

[Kuruharan]

Kuru is John Rhys-Davies.

-and-

Kuruharan and a deep and guttural voice that commands respect.

-and-

Khuru's voice is deep and a bit intimidating.

Ha!! I love it, so I’m not going to tell you how wrong you all are.

He's essentially, in all aspects, a dwarf to me with the lack of facial hair.

Yup. That is basically it.

because of a dash of generic Boring Smart Guy.

I resemble that remark.

Anyway…

To me The Barrow Wight alternately sounds sort of like one of the Nazgul (when he is Barrow-Wighting people) or this Air Force captain I knew once when he’s not.

The Saucepan Man speaks with the voice of John Cleese (his real voice, not one of his silly voices)

davem speaks with something vaguely reminding me of Michael Palin.

Squatter sounds like Eric Idle.

Rimbaud sounds rather like Graham Chapman.

Unfortunately, nobody sounds like Terry Jones or Terry Gilliam.

There, I believe I have all my Python’s covered.

Oh, yes…Mithalwen sounds like Carol Cleveland.

Estelyn sounds like Fiona (for some odd reason).

Mithadan does not speak in words…

I sound like Miss Piggy.

…for which I am suddenly grateful.

Bêthberry also does not speak in words.

the phantom and The Only Real Estel don’t really have a distinctive tone in my brain.

Boromir88 sounds like an anchorman.

Hmmm "Welcome gentle Sir knight, welcome to the Castle Anthrax.... oh, it's not a very good name is it? Oh! but we are nice and we shall attend to your every, every need!"

Steady...they are all Tykes.

I always think Boromir88 sounds like a male version of Francis McDormand in Fargo - he says things like "You bet'cha!" and "Uh-hmm, yah!".

Saucepan Man sounds like Paul Bettany to me for some reason.

Mithalwen sounds like Ellen McArthur - must be the close proximity to all those yachties on the South coast coupled with a businesslike and 'capable' air.

[Mithalwen]

I though Betty was from the red rose side.....

But you have your own back with Ellen ... she isn't a proper local and really whiny - keep thinking of dead ringers .... hate that crowd... yar yar....second homers ... bleating about Cowes week and spinnakers... or else barking mad sociopaths who think spending months alone in a satellite fitted bathtub is a sign of a superior personality ... the last time I would rather under go dentistry without novocaine than go to a yottie party again.... and business like and capable ..lol well I have a personlity change for work -the rest of the time I am in a daze.......

[Thinlómien]

- The Saucepan Man -

SPM is the owner of a generic Silly Brit accent (think Monty Python).

Haha, that's great

Oh, my beloved Ka, let me tell you: I have had the pride, the privilege--nay! the pleasure of hearing Gil-Galad's real voice. It is angelic. Better than one of Mozart's violin concerto pieces and I love those! Better than Aragorn singing the Lay of Luthien, and I love that too! But I love Gil, so....

[Thinlómien]

Woo, I sound like Sean Bean, my favorite actor

You should be happy you had the Boromir-avatar when I first came to the downs; otherwise you'd be having the voice of Bugs Bunny...

A much informed man on the mysteries of love once said:

The truth is rarely pure, and never simple...


I am sorry if our hearings are different, experience speaks in many tongues, but love is the better!

Good luck to you then, hope your love is an honest and pure one...

Curse your avatars, Glirdan, wilwa, and Sleepy!

Yes, even you Valesse!

[Farael]

Anyone wants to try me before I send a pic to the 'downs photo page, as I promised Spawn I'd do?

And talking about Spawn and given that I'm posting right after Lhuna.... does anyone else imagine Nilp as this innocent looking rather smallish guy with a BIG smile.... that can get a really viscious stare if you get too close to his little sister?

Doopy!! That's the cartoon character I'm thinking off..... all peaceful and innocent, but if someone crosses the line, Nilp will make sure he pays for it

Edit: Like Droopy but less lethargic

[Lhunardawen]

Hmm...I'm not really sure. I'll get some random guy to approach me while I'm with him and we'll see.

You have to hear how he says "Layuan mo kapatid ko! (Get away from my sister!)" though. It's been a long time since he last said that. Well, it did not sound scary or intimidating at all. Rather funny, actually.

This is the voice thread, Farael.

Which I just saw for the first time and read over. It was entertaining, but I find I have nothing to add. I must be a very visual person because I don't really have any specific sound imagery for anyone. You all sound more or less like my inner voice. And I'm from southeast Wisconsin and have one of those very "neutral" American accents.

I feel so... boring....

[Farael]

Aye, cursed small sized resolutions.... I noticed the .... speak as I logged in now without having other things running at the same time and my heart skipped a beat. I was hoping I had never noticed the "speak" when I saw the how do you imagine other BDers and that it had somehow shifted from looks to sounds... yet nope, I messed up


HEY !!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING READING THIS??? GET BACK ON-TOPIC!!!

And try figure out how I speak while you are at it three stars to whoever gets my accent properly.

[Hookbill the Goomba]

I think that its entirely plausible that this guy speaks in an extremely high pitched voice. I don't know if he counts as a downer...

Since his WW avatar, the good old Saucepan man now, in my mind, sounds like a wolf on helium. Don't ask me why, but I think if it remained as a terrifying werewolf type voice, then I'd have nightmares for a thousand years.

[mormegil]

Hookbill's has a high voice and it's commonly puntuated with laughter. He would be fun to be around as he would also have a little chuckle to give you or himself.
