Okay so there's a post in my drafts about how some TBK characters could sound like based on the brief descriptions of their voices and/or speech patterns that are given in the book and honestly I don't think I'll ever post it but I want it to be known that said post was prompted by the funniest realization Saint Paul on the road to Damascus style I've ever had.

I'm one of those people who have an inner monologue, which also means everything I read I read in my own voice, and I was going over Rakitin's lines and damn, my voice fits him incredibly well. Since his voice is briefly described as deep and booming when talking to Grushenka at her place (which is how my realization came to be as sometimes I am bitchy like that with my friends, sue me) yeah, my deep ass bass-baritone voice is a close match, so in my mind Rakitin sounds like me and it's the funniest thing ever since his personality and my own couldn't be more different.

#me reading Rakitin's lines in my own voice: I Would Not Fucking Say That #I know I said I'd like to play Dmitri someday but someone please cast me as Rakitin in an audio drama it'd be so much fun #for reference the most “pop”/well known bass-baritone I can think of is Samuel Ramey who voiced The Beast from Over the Garden Wall #he's more on the deeper end of the bass-baritone spectrum therefore usually sings bass #I tend to stick with the lower notes as well as I'm more physically comfortable with those both when singing and speaking #sometimes singing baritone has me fighting for my life on the mic tbh #also I don't go there but I've been told I sound kinda similar to Vox from Hazbin Hotel lmao #personally I'd describe my voice as a weird mix of Ian Curtis from Joy Division and Sebastian Murphy from Viagra Boys #which results in something similar to Tom Waits if his voice sounded a little deeper and younger and less like an alcoholic's I guess #mine
