Guess who I hear when Elan speaks?

I've been trying to figure out who I was hearing for his voice ever since I began reading the comic. I've finally pinpointed it. You may not want to click these spoilers if you do not want to have your perceptions of Elan's voice forever changed.

When Elan speaks, I hear
Spongebob.
A lower-pitched, less-cartoony version, but still hear him. (I've been hearing it less and less now that Elan has become more determined and serious lately.)

You guys might think I'm nuts, but I've been hearing Elan sing this really catchy tune from the Italian Renaissance, called Fuggi Fuggi Fuggi as sung by Owain Phyfe (http://www.owainphyfe.com/)

Damn, it's such an earworm.

Anyway, go to this page (http://www.amazon.com/Where-Beauty-Moves-Wit-Delights/dp/B000001XJU/sr=8-1/qid=1166520405/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-2047932-4283340?ie=UTF8&s=music) to hear a sample of that song. It only has the "fa la la" part, but I think you can get the gist. That song also appears on this CD (http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Symphonies/dp/B0009JP3J0/sr=1-1/qid=1166520635/ref=sr_1_1/102-2047932-4283340?ie=UTF8&s=music), which I got when one of my babies was born.

I think you may be onto something. But i fear you can say that you hear thier voice when you read anything.

Spongebob is not something that can contaminate my mind. I think he is just a less intelegent ewen mcgreggor from Moulin Rouge when he sings, oddly enough. Cause Haley is totally a nichole kidman type of rogue

I get a +5 bonus to Will Saves when the attack is Cartoon based due to my experience with them.

And I always imagined Elan's voice to pretty much be Fry from Futurama, maybe slightly higher pitched. Thog...well Thog's my voice when I played Fezzik in a Uni play, since I'm a selfish egotistical bastard.

Strong Mad = :thog: = Awesome! I totally second that voice check!

Elan is tough, I can imagine what he sounds like, but I don't have a name I could stick to it though.

:durkon: sounds just like Gimli though, I'm sorry *hides*

The voice that intrigues me the most is V's voice.
I knew this girl in high school choir who could sing alto, tenor, and bass; but she didn't sound at all mannish and had this really cool, slightly deep, mellow voice. It was just beautiful, but if you weren't looking at her and seeing her as a girl, you'd never guess whether she was a girl or a guy without visual evidence. That's who I hear when I read V. :vaarsuvius:

The Vanishing Hitchhiker
2006-12-23, 06:35 AM
I think Elan sounds like Kevin McDonald (http://imdb.com/name/nm0567852/). But of course I'm completely insane.

And as for Thog...he's very close to...
:thog: does anybody want a peanut?

And Vaarsuvius sounds like K-9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-9_(Doctor_Who)), just talking less like a robot dog. And possibly more girlyish. But it's the lilting/stilted British accent that does it.

Setra
2006-12-23, 06:40 AM
I hear :elan: as Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents.

I hear :miko: as the Ninja Girl from Disgaea 2, in Japanese, with subtitles.

I hear :roy: as Will Smith.

I hear :vaarsuvius: as Micheal Jackson.

Now you'll be wondering if that last part is sarcasm or not.

Actually, all the aforementioned ideas are, in my opinion, completely wrong. That I can see - er.... - hear. I hear all other characters as their own peculiar voices, when I try to imagine what they sound like, except for Thog, as I see as Strong Bad, although I have never heard Strong Mad. I do not hear voices if I do not try, and all who do should see the pic that has a crazy looking kitten that is saying "The voices inside my head are telling me to kill you!" If I do not try, I only read the text and just see it as if they have little bubbles over their head, although THEY cannot see them.

I HATE SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS, AND ANYONE WHO DOES SHOULD, well, I guess I shouldn't use any four-letter words. And anyway, the show was so strange that I thought that the creators MUST be on drugs. (Sorry if drug references are inappropriate)

I hear Elan as Vash the stampede, Nale as Knives, and Haley as milly thompson from trigun.

I guess maybe it's because of the whole "Blond good-evil twins" thing that goes on in that show, but I just see Elan's swings between stupid and incredibly useful as similar to vash.

That's who it is! Thank you thank you thank you! I've been hearing that voice in my head every time Thog talks, just about from when he was first introduced, and I haven't been able to place it. But yes, it's Strong Mad. No question about it.

Oh my, I can see Vash.
But even moreso, think of it this way... The opening to "The Sword and the Stone" (the disney one) has a guy singing in a light but very pleasant voice about how the good king had died and whatnot.
That's definately my Elan voice.

In the original cast it was a guy named "Rick Lyon". He played a few other characters as well.

Well, here is my cast list:
:roy:: Will Smith is too badass for him. He is probably a Jamie Foxx.
:vaarsuvius:: Definitely Michael Jackson.
:belkar:: If you've ever heard Vernes Troy (I think that's how you spell his name, you know, he's from austin powers) he is perfect for Belkar, and not just in the midget sense of the word. Even though it's hard to use his voice for Tyrion Lannister.
:elan:: Him and Nale share the same voice. One that can be used to speak like an idiot and like a genious. Sorta mine, but mix it up with some tough guy, because I can't do tough moments. The BBEG in my campaign was made fun of because he used my voice.
:haley:: I hear Cameron Diaz.
:durkon:: I hear.... Gimli. Lord of the Rings is stuck in my head.
:xykon:: Jack Nicholson.
:mitd:: I hear Robin Williams with him. Try mixing his voice from Insomnia and the genie from Alladdin. Goofy, but sorta dark and evil.
:thog:: He's a toughy. He's sorta like Patrick from Spongebob, but a little more bestial.
I don't have more.

:elan: & :nale: Topher Grace; not quite so whiney as Toby Macguire, but still possessed of a youth and innocence. Also, he can put some menace in there, allowing him to nail nale and not-nale.

:roy: Tom Hanks; I'm thinking Woody from Toy Story. Great comedic timing, a fantastic straight man, and the perfect sense of long-suffering frustration. Alternately, if you wanted to emphasize that Roy is also pretty young, Josh Hartnett wouldn't be a bad choice.

:haley: Jewel Staite, of Firefly and Wonderfalls fame. Lose the western twang from Kaylee while keeping her essential sweetness, then add a touch of the snark of Heidi Gotts.

:durkon: I'm at a loss here, honestly. Someone who can do a good scottish accent without overdoing it. Although his accent is a source of humor, the Fat Bastard or Willie the Groundskeeper level just goes a bit too far, while John Rhys-Davies as Gimli isn't played for enough humor.

:belkar: Jack Black. That is all.

:vaarsuvius: Cate Blanchett. She's a woman with a convincingly masculine voice (ie, not silly sounding). Her upper-crustiness is also perfect for an elf (as proven in the Rings Trilogy).

:xykon: I'm really feeling James Woods here.

:redcloak: Steve Buscemi

:mitd: Will Ferrell

:thog: I always hear a slightly toned down version of the Cookie Monster, with just a touch more bass

:miko: Lucy Liu. Simutaneously girly and deadly serious. Watch her performance in Kill Bill or her old role on Ally McBeal
