#ALSO STREAM HOLLOW MOON BY CRANE WIVES

[zzztlk]

OMG i think im obsessed with TTB lately i have to ask do u have any voiceclaims for Regan and Nat (also Rabiel) ? Or at least any description of their voices ? Would love to hear them in my head they get me so normal hghghrhrr happy womens month

MWAHAHA.. ty and you're in luck I'm a little insane about this stuff. Regan has a husky but young sounding voice and speaks with a loosey goosey cadence to fit. She's very smiley and you can definitely hear it when she talks. A very close voiceclaim would be rio Romeo.

Nat has a higher voice than Regan's but has a sort of unfitting graveness to it, kinda like how the VA for clementine in the walking dead game tweaks her performance to make the character sound more serious and grown up in later seasons. She's got a bit of a mix between a standard US accent and a Singaporean accent so it's hard to find a voiceclaim for her, but in terms of her timbre and how she carries herself through speaking the Crane Wives' frontman is pretty much what I imagine.

Rabel is an interesting critter. I try to write his dialogue to sound the way an angel would talk and he'd have this three-part harmony voice going on, singing more than just speaking (ttb you are not immune to the queer media musical curse /j). It consists of a man's voice, a woman's voice and a child's voice. I don't have a vc for all three lol but hozier is one hundred percent what I think about when I imagine Rabel.

Where do you suggest I start with the Crane Wives? I'm very into folk and you've got me interested.

College and government paperwork is stressing me too much. Here's hoping it'll be over by the end of the month.

Have a good day.

Ha! You’re asking the wrong woman where to start, love. I’m obsessed with all of their music. All depends on what kind of sound you’re going for, really. If you want some of their most popular songs, I’d go with Curses (easily their #1 hit), The Moon Will Sing, Tongues And Teeth, and (my personal favourite, probably not actually that popular) The Glacier House. (And yeah, I’m colour coding this, cus some songs share names with albums. Red is a song name, Yellow is an album)

If you’re interested in a more folksy, country-like sound, the ones I listed above work. Their album Safe Ship, Harbored fits that as well. My top three from that album are Hole In The Silver Lining, Ancient History, and Counting Sheep. Others that fit the bill include Steady Steady, Canary In A Coal Mine, and Back To The Ground from The Fool In Her Wedding Gown.

If you’re looking for a more contemporary rock-like sound, I’d look towards their newest albums (if you can call albums from 2015 and 2016 “new” lmao) Coyote Stories and Foxlore, as well as their live album Here I Am, and their most recent collection, Live From Dogtown Studio. Personal favourites/recommendations from these include Hard Sell, Never Love An Anchor, and Little Soldiers (Coyote Stories), Turn Out The Lights, The Garden, and Curses (Foxlore), Daydreamer (my theme song :)), Nobody, and Queen Of Nothing (Here I Am - Live). They also have plenty of live singles that lean more towards rock than folk, such as Take Me To War, Empty Page, and High Horse

If you’re looking for something a bit more somber and slow, Can’t Go Back, Ribs (Foxlore), How To Rest (The Fool In Her Wedding Gown, this one HAS actually made me cry), Unraveling, Of Everlong (Coyote Stories), The Crooked/The Cradle (Safe Ship Harbored), and Taking Turns, Drown You Out (Here I Am - Live) would be your best bet.

All of these songs and albums are available on Spotify! As well as YouTube, Apple Music, whatever your streaming service of choice is, I’m sure it’s there. Other favourites of mine that I didn’t get the chance to work into my presentation include Here I Am, Safe Ship Harbored (see? That colour coding is coming in handy now, ain’t it?), Volta, Hollow Moon, Down The River, New Discovery, and specifically Live From Dogtown’s The Wolf. Don’t get me wrong, Here I Am’s isn’t bad, but I personally prefer the other one. Honestly, this post would’ve been ten times shorter if you’d asked me which Crane Wives songs I don’t like (it’s Strangler Fig. Just Strangler Fig.)

Thank you for the ask and thank you for the beautiful picture! It’s like sending someone a post card and getting a three page essay in return. :) Good luck with your Adult Things, my friend! now go listen to The Crane Wives.
