Character Voice Samples

Michael Clarke Duncan?

[Black Razor]

Cul I F#$%ing love you right now, I swear to it! You have no idea how many ideas you just spawned in my mind when you mentioned michael clark duncans voice. Please allow me to explain....

Ok, you see originally about two years ago when I first started this whole story, it was just a couple of "flavor text" excerpts to help with a PnP RPG I was running. Out of that came some rough concept art...way back when my main character was a long lost prince and my story was still a space opera...."Anyhow" recently I have been heavily focusing on two characters and the relationship between them. Remi, who ive been talking about and Max.

You see Max started out a 4 armed alien. He then morphed into a genetic experiment, but was first an elite soldier from a race of soldiering types. I have been dealing with that issue as I further defined the relationship between Remi and Max. Think living big teddybear for one seriously psychologically scared teen girl. Of course I have the dynamics in place of parrallel issues...in other words Max is scarred physically, Remi emotionally...and they find comfort in each other. Seem to understand each other.

Now, when I started my lengthy 300+ question Character Background & Personality Profile worksheet, I had some issues with Max. I needed to clarify some things about his personality...I didnt really want him to be a warrior before he was mutated, just after.

Heres where you come in Cul...thanks to you I went looking for MCD sound bytes...lo and behold. I stumbled onto The Green Mile sound clips. SOOOOOOO.....I now have what I feel is a much richer and visceral character by making max instead a poor slightly autustic victim of genetic mutation.

Now, you may be a little confused at the moment. I love science fiction, and fiction in general because it tends to be a medium through which an author can make very intense criticisms of society, and yet by wrapping those comments in a blanket of fictional reality somehow people are not offended but instead actually open their eyes to the message.

I have a list of issues I am trying to work into my novel. The way society treats the disabled was one of them, in addition to child abuse. That is why I was so excited when you gave me that idea. Not only does it allow me to have a much more creative character, but also work in another issue.

Note: I am well aware of the fact this isnt so much original. After all Steinbeck delivered the same message in Of Mice and Men, and even The Goonies commented on it with Sloth.

So, once again..I LOVE YOU MAN! You seriously have sparked my creativity. THANKS A MILLION!

[doffs hat] T'was nothin', guv.

I'll let you know where you can send my royalties.

[Black Razor]

*shifty eyes* Um, royalties. Yeah, oh yeah....your royalties...I'll, um, get right on that as soon as....*runs out the door*

Nah, thanks again man. It was a big help.

The voice I see going with that character is the one used for the Tauren in world of warcraft -- something deep, and kinda slow. I don't have one handy, but if you look around on the web, you should be able to find one.

Edit: Blah, disregard this. Apparently, I neglected to see this had more than 1 page when I posted. :x Anyway, glad you found a suitable voice.
