I can’t remember if I’ve seen you be asked this yet, but the fact that you include the musical vibes makes it clear you can HEAR your own story, so! Do you have a voice claim for any of your characters?? Particularly Antoine. I’m from the PNW and have never been farther south than the time my foster parents took me to Disneyland, so I haven’t heard many, if any??, of those Louisiana accents in real life and I’m struggling to hear our mans 😅
Oh my goodness you have no idea how excited I am to hear you say/ask this. Something that I think the story is missing is the movement and sound you get from a TV show. Like during party scenes I wanted to be able to hear and see the movement of the beads of the dresses and the dancers all coupled with the music. The musical vibes are kinda my effort to add some of the emotion and experience that you get from sound into the story.
Now as far as the character’s voices, you’re in luck since the only direct example I have is for Antoine! (I also always forget Zelda would have a British accent and then I suddenly remember and I love her even more). As I talked about previously, Antoine is loosely based on the pianist Jelly Roll Morton. Because their background and eras are very similar, I think their accents would be as well:
(He begins speaking at the 1 minute mark about his time growing up and performing in Storyville)
Jelly Roll has hours and hours of footage like this, talking and playing the piano. Part of the reason I love listening to it is hearing his accent, which sounds in part like my grandfather’s (cause fun fact I too have a Louisiana accent, although of a different sort 😉). But also because it’s so rare to hear a historical figure talk about their life and history itself, with all the emotion and inflection inherent in a voice.
#I love Louisiana accents so much#now you’ve only made me even more emotional about leaving New Orleans I regret my choices let’s go back 😫#I kid I kid I’ve shot two scenes in the new world there’s no going back bb#so let me drown my emotions in more music vibe reblogs alright 😅#ask#answered#antoine duplanchier extra
