Not sure if I'm using the word correctly, but you have "head cannon" voices for your characters?
I’ve answered questions similar to this a couple times already, buuuut it has been almost a year since and I’m always game to ramble on about my characters in ways similar but ever-so-slightly different to what I’ve done before!
Theo has a voice on the higher end for a man (his singing voice would be in the tenor range). He typically speaks in a posh, refined, almost theatrical accent, but that drops away almost completely when he gets riled up. His words are always slightly corrupted by some vocal imperfection, be it a sibilant hiss, nasal whine, throaty growl or a bout of stuttering.
Similar vibes: Peter Lorre, Vincent Price, this particular Doc Ock
In contrast to Theo, Jocosa has a deeper voice for a woman. Her posh accent never breaks, and she can could count the times she's raised her voice to a yell on one hand. Her tone is steely, cold, low and haughty. Every word is pronounced precisely and distinctly, as if it slipped off the pages of a dictionary instead of her tongue.
Similar vibes: Maleficent, Michelle Dockery
Ambroys speaks differently depending on his surroundings. While his voice could be generally described as youthful, clear and far from baritone, but he changes his tones and pitch readily depending on how he wants to come off. He'll speak in deeper, flatter tones around men his age, more boyishly and chirpy around older authority figures, and in a dreadfully sugary manner around women he wants to look "cute" to. He tends to have a sing-songy intonation to his words, which ramps up when he's being "adorable." His voice cuts through even the noise of a lively party, which at least gives people the chance to escape before he targets them for a very one-sided "conversation."
Similar vibes: Hulce's Mozart, this anime lad
When Ambroys is older, his voice matures a little, and he doesn't try to be "cutesy" anymore. Instead, he speaks in delicate, soothing, mellifluous tones, and uses the lower end of his register more often.
I don't have an idea for a character who speaks like how I imagine Older!Ambroys does off the top of my head (though if anyone has a suggestion for him or anyone else here I'd like to hear it)!
#i have other characters ofc but i don't talk about them enough for people to be curious about how THEY talk i think#the 'ramble about characters similar to how i've done before' sounds like i'm being sarcastic but i'm really not#whenever i see those things where you can fill out a questionnaire about your characters i do at least some of them#i never get tired of finding new ways to write “theo is a neet” or “ambroys is a dipshit” and when i get to describe their eye color?#it's gray? like's it's always been for 15 years? oh yeah man. let me type HOW gray. again. on this thing only i will ever read#i love it. like a cozy blanket#ANYWAY THANKS FOR THE QUESTION AHAHA#asks#note to self when my hell semester is over i need to overhaul my tagging system like i said i would...#theo#ambroys#jo
