Comic 340 - Ligths on and off
Bakery Notes:
I ALMOST didn't manege to finish this strip,
arrived late home and was exausted... but I pulled
through anyway, AND had a "very" improvised stream...
But had fun and chatted vocally with watchers, HAD
LOADS OF FUN! and cool insight on the series o.o
So, answer me this, How would the main
character's voices sound like?
For the charakters, i can't really imagine a voice that would fit them so i'm passing on this question. ^^'
One last thing: for the surprise i announced, keep a bit of free space on your wall. You will need it. ;)
The voices should be what you want them to be.
As for the question, I'm going to pass because i cant really describe how I picture their voices. Lol
I always thought Nelly would sound nice with a British accent (actually I thought she HAD a British accent).
That voice in my head that reads the dialogue for pervy as some 70s disco guy mixed with a higher pitched-fast talking voice.
For Pituka... God that's difficult. I guess a sorta light cutsy voice would work but, with a lot of curiosity and fascination. Her voice in your animated short would work well if it had more emotion.
I really can't imagine there voices.
:/
For Pucho, just use Ian Cortlett, one of the Goku's from Dragon Ball Z's english dubs. Maybe Michael Sinterniklaas' voice as Leonardo from TMNT. Can't do any better for raw stupid clueless unbridled optimism. Somehow the characters' these kinds of voices portray always ends up on the winning side. It's so damn annoying, since you know these guys are going to win, it's already in the voice. Pucho's voice from the short online sounds like a derpy Don Knotts (no offense, never heard his voice sound like that before when I read the comic). Goku's voice shows you don't have to sound dumb to be dumb, remember that.
Pituka's voice from the short you made for Youtube is highly annoying, way too girly. The voice reminds me of a girl in high school that still talked like she was five when she was eighteen, not a really good idea. Pituka is supposed to have a Master's from college? Maybe a more mature voice? If you want to keep her girly/derpy at least make her sound like an excited Japanese schoolgirl. That's excusable.
For Nelly, use a voice that sounds like Tanya from the Red Alert series (unfortunately played by many different actors). No nonsense fighting machine, looks good yet untouchable, violence all around, fits the bill entirely. There are some comments floating around that her accent should be British; I'm okay with that, just make sure it's a fighting voice.
Pervy, maybe a voice like Freddy Mercury's? Well, Pervy is not really a singer... Maybe the voice of "Buddy Cole" from Scott Thompson's skits in The Kids in the Hall? I kind of picture Pervy as one of the male fashion models in the movie Zoolander who dies in the "freak gasoline-fight accident"; very outgoing and funny until he gets hit in the face by Nelly again with the wrench. Voice should reflect that?
Astrid, um... maybe a Russian voice of some sort? Something vaguely Eastern of some kind of European/Russian stock; we have stereotypes to fulfill here! Seriously, think EASTERN, and you're done.
Okay, rambled on enough. Just my two cents worth.
I think that all of there voices would doing like caricature varients of my own real life voice like when I read the comic in costume in front of mortified young children.
lOVE IT~<3
As for character voices, the same as the animatic and Astrid sounds like a British Egyptian
To be honest, Voice casting is hard for me to pin down. Sorry, I'll get back to thisif I get any Ideas.
