Olivia fell asleep about halfway through the Badoon storyline, but I'm not taking that as a criticism just yet. <BR/><BR/>She also slept through the Howard the Duck crossover, but I may have to revisit that one for her when she's awake. I'm looking forward to trying out my Tillie the Hun.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I took your suggestions for Doctor Strange and the Hulk, although I probably made Doctor Strange a little more Mr. Howell than Phantom Limb. <BR/><BR/>I didn't do anything much for Nighthawk, Jack Norriss, or Vance Astro. For Charlie-27 I went a little deeper and slower, but not Mongo-style like the Hulk. Yondu came from the back of my throat, Martinex was whispery and Kif-Kroeker-ish, and Starhawk was a little higher and more sing-song-y. Valkyrie I tried to make tough, and Young Vance came out like that little kid in the Troy McClure instructional films.<BR/><BR/>One thing's for sure -- I'm gonna need a big glass of water to get through these extended storylines!Tom Bonduranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209820912557263080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629130.post-50971444265115115582008-08-23T01:01:00.000-04:002008-08-23T01:01:00.000-04:00*snicker* The GCD lists the Black Knight in those...*snicker* The GCD lists the Black Knight in those issues you mentioned as "stoned." That won't make any sense to anyone who hasn't read them.<BR/><BR/>Anyway. I can't help but hear the Hulk's speaking voice as that of Mongo from <I>Blazing Saddles</I>. Pure typecasting! I associate Stephen Strange with David Niven -- utterly silly because he's an American surgeon, but that thin mustache fixed my attention when I was six years old and I've never been able to break that connection. Maybe if you imagine it as an affected upper-class transatlantic accent, not <I>entirely</I> dissimilar from Byron Orpheus but more like the voice James Urbaniak uses as Phantom Limb.<BR/><BR/>Namor would have a sneering, nasal voice rather than a deep, commanding "heroic" tone. A bit obnoxious; in a way, he's never outgrown being the snotty kid who went around saying things like "Sufferin' shad! I'll teach those Jap pilots a thing or two!" Accent? His dad was an American and he's been around Americans for 69 years (real time <I>and</I> Marvel time, one supposes) so he'd be accent-free to American ears.<BR/><BR/>I'm embarassed to admit I never gave any thought to a voice for Valkyrie. Nighthawk would presumably have the bland voice of an East Coast prep school dropout. And Tania Belinsky -- it'll be a while before you get to her, right? -- should have the voice of Natasha Fatale.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01714171897239398438noreply@blogger.com
