Where Is Harkan
[RP] I find it easier to RP characters that speak audible English in their source canon because then I can read my tags back in my head in their voice and make sure it sounds right. Does anyone else do this?
Where Is Harkan
Zagreus, for example, has a VERY distinctive voice
Where Is Harkan
HADES-Cutscenes/Conversations/Dialogues [Part 1]
He sounds like this
You're Quinner
this is why it's easier to RP anime characters who have dubs
wedding rose??
Not always, but sometimes I'll put the dub into how I play the character if I don't already have a clear idea of how they talk.
wedding rose??
When I played Chelsea from Coyote Ragtime Show in Azume, I'd seen the sub more often (her username is even a line from the Japanese track), but as I went on, I started incorporating more of how she talks in the dub because Monica Rial's performance was more distinctive and fit well.

But with, say, Haruka, I just went off the Japanese text (and sometimes went closer to that than the translations, e.g. keeping how she repeats some words).

If I can't do that thing I was just talking about, I find myself just sort of falling back on stock voices for how characters talk
Where Is Harkan
"Posh kind hearted lady"
Where Is Harkan
"Meme loving fuck"
Where Is Harkan
"Harsh judgmental warrior"
Where Is Harkan
etc

And then just sort of layering bits of the character's specific quirks on top of that voice
Lightning Bolt
Hmm, I haven't particularly noticed that
Lightning Bolt
The only time I really took notice of that was when I was specifically playing a character based on his English dub version
E.S. Levi
This is why I have more characters from audible media than from books or comics.

of course

I say this
Where Is Harkan
having like 2/3rds of my RP roster being OCs
Where Is Harkan
who do not have any voice at all beyond what is in my head
Where Is Harkan
Though I do have voice headcanons for most of them

It's fascinating seeing people talk about stuff like this
✶ 絶対嘘じゃない、愛してる
oh this is 100% the case for me LOL
✶ 絶対嘘じゃない、愛してる
Even in cases where I don't think the dub performance is that great, having a dub to give me an idea of phrasing and tone is super helpful
✶ 絶対嘘じゃない、愛してる
Or in the case of a really good dub performance (Honoka's dub performance from Love Live is probably the best example here) it makes writing tags a hundred times easier

I'm deaf for those on Eric's timeline who don't know already
Where Is Harkan
I guess that would make a difference
✶ 絶対嘘じゃない、愛してる
This is also why I have voice headcanons set for most of my main OCs, because it helps give me that same idea of phrasing and tone

So it's very interesting seeing people talk about how voices affect their RP and stuff like that

(Kohaku is voiced by Romi Park, Samata is voiced by Kimberly Brooks)

(I think Terry is voiced by Troy Baker)

here's me with characters (like remi) who don't have official voice actors
Uncontrollable
I can get sucked into a character based on their voice.

: Remillia has a very distinctive voice that comes through just from text
Where Is Harkan
as like, the spoiled brat/vampire queen/elegant lady
Where Is Harkan
She's got enough personality that she's probably fine

: TTGL Nia?
Uncontrollable
XC2 Nia.

i.e. I can listen to a Welsh accent for all eternity and never get tired.

Beatrice doesn't speak English (well), but she has a voice so distinctive it comes through in any language.
Freakin Bat
I imagine that in english she has an accent a lot like the Merovingian in Matrix Reloaded has. 
The matrix- cursing in french
Also genderswapped adult!Remi would sound a lot like him in timbre.
Rama
I do kind of have problems with tabletop characters though
Rama
I worry about it sometimes, especially since my last two online tabletop characters have been "Harsh judgmental warrior" and "Meme loving fuck"
Where Is Harkan
I always kind of laugh at "Adult Remi" because I know what you mean, but also she is already like 600 years old
Freakin Bat
I mean. Yeah.
Freakin Bat
How does she sound to you?
