THE PRETEND TO BE A VA MEME

For all those with microphones it's:

THE PRETEND TO BE A VOICE ACTOR MEME






Imitating characters in text is fun, but can you do it by voice? Grab a canon quote or a bit of your own RPing, try it out and post the links!

http://vocaroo.com/


See how close you can come to sounding like your character. If you sound absolutely nothing like your character, all the more fun, because no one is taking this seriously. What's more funny than mismatched accents, deep voices trying to sound high, and high voices trying to sound deep? Nothing! That's what!

(Bonus points: Try another player's character too if you want to).

Howard, complete with voice crack, panic, and my awful attempt at a SoCal accent. (http://vocaroo.com/?media=vaugQuUCNWIkYOtMQ)

Also I cannot voice act so yes.

Don't mock my Kang attempt either I just wanted to differentiate spoken voices!

Talking to Duo (http://pandemona.net/junk/SORA3.mp3). Text (http://trans-9.livejournal.com/732239.html?thread=58852943#t58852943).

A couple of short phrases. (http://pandemona.net/junk/clip.mp3).
("Roger." "Whatever." "Stop right there.")

He's supposed to sound like Ookawa Tooru (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnMhwivc-Hk), so you can understand the FULL DEPTHS of my failure. FFFFF that range, that baritone.
