[ Getting KAITO to laugh actually isn’t that hard, but his laugh comes in several stages. The first and most common is the ’ dumb giggle ’ , which he’ll do at anything he’ll find even remotely funny. The best example of what it approximately sounds like can probably be demonstrated with some David Tennant. If he happens to insert ’ ww ’ ( or longer ) somewhere in his speech / messages, you can be assured that’s the accompanying sound he’s making.
The second stage will sometimes be the first if he’s shocked into laughing. In this case he’ll stare, blink some, and then completely gloss over the giggling phase to just burst out into a loud laughter that generally involves him throwing his head back into his neck and laughing with little restraint. This stage two tends to be short - lived, though, and for a very simple reason — stage three.
KAITO’s natural voice is high and cheerful and bright, but quickly tends to grow a little sharp. For that reason, when speaking, he internally tends to lower the Brightness and Clearness parameters on his voice, so he’ll sound a little softer and easier to listen to. Doing this can be a little troublesome when singing, because it has him hitting higher notes less well, but since he doesn’t need to reach those when talking, it poses no problem.
Unless he’s laughing.
Stage 3 tends to set in about 5 seconds after stage 2, and, due to the height of his laugh, basically comprises of him completely losing his voice. He’ll bury his face in his hands and shudder / jerk with laughter ( and, should he have had tear fluid, he’d DEFINITELY be crying ), but aside from the usual high little hiccup when his voice drops to the lower tone of the cackle, he’ll make absolutely no sound. It’s neither uncommon for him to just let himself drop to the floor at this point, as his knees tend to go a bit wobbly and his feet unsteady under the hilarity, so many have mistaken his laughing fits for a bout of terrible crying until he peeled his hands away and they saw his face.
Particularly stage 2 without shock and oftentimes stage 1 tend to be preceded by stage 0.5, though this isn’t necessary — the plosive splutter, or the snort. He’s not above making either, and especially if the humor he’s laughing at is more of the teasing variety, they tend to happen a lot. ]
