Voice Reference: Vaati Astora
Bold what applies to your muse, italicize situational ones. Feel free to add your own suggestions and carry it on.
“country” │ “backwoods” │ “sailor” │ “noble” │ foreign speaker | “The Queen’s English”
Vaati’s speech patterns are reminiscent of something out of a book, where poetry verses and euphemistic language is often used more than outright speaking in blunted dull expression.
educated │ uneducated │ doesn’t use conjunctions │ shortens words │ just makes up their own words │ old English │
Vaati was raised and trained for years by a wandering Samurai who spoke in elequence, befitting one who grew years of wisdom through experience, and the wisdom was passed down to his apprentice. Receiving a more formal education once he was sent to the Sekiseigumi in Kugane and learned to refine and hone the skills and mind that his master granted him.
loud │ soft │ room volume │ high pitched │ low pitched │seductive │velvety │ speech impediment │ abrasive │ gruff │ shrill │ booming │ matter-of-fact │ toneless │ husky │ gravelly │ breathy │ nasal │ barking │ chatty │ condescending │ musical │suave │ world-weary │ brash │ authoritative │ lisp
In most cases, his voice is softer and more velvetone, added with his tendency to recite lines from songs or poetry adds a light whimsical to any conversation with him. Though when the gloves come off and the sword is drawn, his voice gains base and a stone-wall hostility befitting his intention during a worst-case scenario.
Speaks often with light-hearted quips and in poetic rhyme. Does not take much seriously and often sees a form of silver lining in any and all situations. Use of euphemistic language can be a bit exhausting for those who often speak with him and get to know him; often needing to ‘dumb it down’ so it’s easier to digest. Vaati and Urianger can speak for hours..
Voice references are essentially a mix of Kenshin Himura, Sephiroth, Urianger, and Dean Winchester. It’s a ridiculous mixture but making them work with one another, given the context of the situation at that current point makes them a challenge and who doesn’t like to test their ability?
