    Default So, whaddya think malak sounds like?

    just kind of random, but I am debating on what I think malak's voice, in and ot of vamp mode sounds like. Kind of leaning towards it being a soft spoken whisper in normal mode, but then he starts hissing his words when he goes vampire mode, though I may just be flanderising him because of his lizardfolk appearance.

    All I know is that it is not "shaky" anymore.

    (minor SoD spoiler)

    Immediately after his transformation into a lich, Xykon comments on his voice having picked up a reverb effect and compares himself to James Earl Jones. So I've always assumed that if there's a specific sound meant for the black-and-white undead speech bubble, that would be it.

    I'm wondering why so many people misspell his name. I mean, it's easy to misspell something like Zz'dtri, but Malack? Or is it intentional and I just don't get why?
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    Before, whispery, hissy, weak.

    Now, a strong and masterful hiss with a bit of undead hollowness to it.

    So the song runs on, with shift and change,
    Through the years that have no name,
    And the late notes soar to a higher range,
    But the theme is still the same.

    In my head at least he sounds like Justice from Afro Samurai.

    Maybe a more-masculine version of Bonnie Tyler? (Shaky speech bubble ofc. I'm assuming all undead sound vaguely similar since they use negative energy to talk or something like that.)

    For some reason I imagine that he sounds like Christoph Waltz, the german guy from Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained. Very mellow and gentile in everyday speech but screw him over and then the monster comes out.

    I always thought rather androgynous, but definitely erudite, someone who enunciates each word with crispness. Not resonant, but breathy, ironically enough. Not someone who speaks quickly.

    I imagine his voice being something like a guttural hiss, if there is such a thing.

    My first thought was Billy Bob Thornton, but Hannibal Lector would fit better.

    This. The Giant used the same "shaky" speech bubbles for otherwise normal-speaking characters when they're injured, weak, etc.

    I dunno why, but in my head he came out as Cobra Commander from GI Joe.

    Seconded. At least, when he's not basically whispering.

    I always thought Malack sounded like Roddy McDowell. If any of you remember the old Disney cartoon movie "The Jungle Book," there is a big python in it named Kaa. Kaa's voice works perfectly for Malack.
