Anyone ever tell you that you sound like someone famous? Well what if someone told you what they thought your character would sound like instead?
I decided that this would be an interesting game for anyone who's interested in participating. I'm not exactly sure how or even if this thing will work but I'd like to give it a try.

Basically if your going to think of a voice for a character, you will need to read that character's personality and perhaps appearance. This will give everyone a reason to read other people's profiles, perhaps like that person's bio and hopefully initiate some Role playing. It will also help older members and newer members who are unfamiliar with everyone in connecting.
I think you can have a closer connection with your character if you generally know what they sound like, even the smallest feature can bring more clarity in one's character. If you can get a clear image of that character standing in the room talking to you, your going to be able to write that character better.
Anywho now that I blabbed on bout nothing.
I guess the best way to do it is for someone to start with one of their characters. They will state which character they want discussed and give someone's voice if they already have something in mind. Anyone famous, an actor or a singer. A link on youtube or something would be helpful. If they don't have a voice in mind, they can leave it up to anyone who feels like responding. If your going to respond, I'd suggest you read up on the character so you can think up of a good voice for them.
Anywho I'll start with Todd (Reason I thought of this game cause I've had this character before I ever came here but I could never put him with a voice)
Not much I can say, maybe a young rock type voice (cant really think of anyone). I was thinking a younger James from Metallica ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhryYbyTZ2M skip to 1:50) But I'm not really sure that's a good selection. (I drew Todd's pic if that helps)
