I just realized that whenever I read a post by ** Southern Style **, I can HEAR it!
His voice is deep and rumbly and faintly threatening- not in a bad way, though.
** Crankyasanoldman ** sounds like Marge Simpson’s sisters, Patty and Selma.
And ** Tatertot **, for some reason, sounds like a Powerpuff girl.
Cecil Adams, since I have been reading him since I was a little kid, sounds a lot like my dad.
Does anyone else hear voices when they read these posts?
I don’t mean the voices in your head that tell you to start fires, though- I mean do you assign voices for other posters?
Man, Turp! What a cool idea for a thread! I’d never really thought about it until now, but I do assign voices to people.
I always hear Eve and ultress with beautiful, sophisticated voices.
The majority of the guys I hear with great, sexy voices–always clear and with fantastic laughs.
The women sound like Kathleen Turner, with that husky laughter.
A few people sound like some of my family members: purplebear, tatertot, evilbeth, Scotti…jeez, this is hard…I know there’s more…
I have wondered how I sound to you. But am more than a little apprehensive about inquiring.
I’m running out of time today. Maybe I’ll add more later?
I hear aha as a raspy rock-star-type person. As I know the voices of Brunetter, purplebear (and her daughter) and ssskuggiii, I can’t comment. I imagined John Corrado’s as basically how he sounds. I cannot shake the thought that Homer sounds like Homer.
Actually, to me ** Aha ** sounds like my Latin teacher from high school for some reason, but, predictably, the song “Take on Me” starts running through my head, playing in the background for all his posts.
** PepperlandGirl ** sounds like the freaky woman from Eraserhead with the huge cheeks who sings “In Heaven, everything is fine…”
I don’t assign voices in my head unless it has to do with books (usually ones based on movies that I’ve seen… then I hear stuff like Sean Connery for Draco and such) Though the people who I know are guys have deeper voices and the girls more feminine I guess shrugs
Do I sound like anyone to anyone here? Or am I just one of those generic voices that everyone gets in a monologue?
The voices are very emphatic, and they get louder when I’m around sharp objects.
Oh! Not those voices!
I tend not to assign voices to posters, even for the few posters I’ve met. Not an aural person, I guess.
I do have mental images, some of which have survived the picture pages more or less intact, some of which underwent radical changes. The worst collapse of a mental image I ever had here was when I learned that TVeblen was female. I knew who Thorstein Veblen was and my mental image was taken from a line drawing I had seen of him. (He was a tall, thin man with a beard.) For a long time afterward I pictured Veb as a tall, thin woman with a beard.
I dunno. Maybe she has a deep, masculine voice too.
Scotticher has already denied that she has a Scotish accent, so I imagine I can hear a laugh in every sentence because she seems so full of life. Happy hippy Earth mother.
Satan has a hollowness in his voice that comes from eons of suppressed regret.
techchick68 tries to keep her cowgirl twang in check but it sneaks out when she’s drinking or angry.
Twist_off_ate has a sadness in his voice, the voice of someone who has lived too hard and is old beyond his years.
Falcon sounds like a party.
SILENT_BOB has a big booming voice that his RL friends make fun of.
Coldfire sounds like a BBC announcer from back when they all sounded exactly the same.
