Weird ways you voice characters in your head when reading?

[kroen]

I always read Ashe in C3PO's voice.

And Wax in Jared Padalecki's voice and Miles in Jensen Ackles's voice (Sam and Dean from Supernatural, respectively. I also imagined them looking like these actors).

And my favorite: Nightblood in Wheatley's voice (from Portal 2). Seriously, if you've played Portal 2 I can't recommend it enough that you also voice Nightblood this way.

Or maybe it's just me. What about you?

 

Edit: Oh, and almost forgot- even though Prof is white, I couldn't help myself making him look and sound exactly like Morgan Freeman.

I alaways imagine Prof to sound like Great Uncle Ford from Gravity Falls.

Edit: just googled it, the actor is J. K. Simmons.

Hmm - characterizations I remember:

 

Sazed sounded Indian in my head.  Zane was Brandon Lee's version of The Crow.

[+Slowswift]

Rock sounds Russian, for some reason. Maybe it's the way his actual accent is written.

[Paragrin she/her]

Hah, I've got Sam and Dean as Elend and Cett, respectively.

[Left he/him]

Sazed is Scottish for me. This is because I read must born out loud to my younger sibling, and felt like doing something different for his voice.

[Stormgate he/him]

Kelsier could be David Tennant if I try hard enough.

[CarolaDavar she/her]

At the release of Shadows of self, I saw a person dressed as Pattern, so that's how I imagine Patterns voice. And I imagine The Lopez with the voice of Jeffery Dallas (you can find him on YouTube)

[Pinnacle-Ferring he/him]

When I was reading mistborn I decided that I wanted to practice my accent impersonations. So I just kind of threw out random accents for almost all the characters and read out their lines(when I was alone, of course).

Vin and Kelsier I just couldn't finda good accent so I just stuck with an american accent(I speak with an american accent even though I'm not american. Weird, I know.)

Dockson got Australian. No idea why.

Sazed originally had an Indian-inspired accent, but I just wasn't feeling it with him so I dropped it.

Breeze had a posh British accent. Seriously though what other accent can you give him?

Ham also got the short end of the stick and was american.

Clubs was Irish.

OreSeur/TenSoon became Scottish. One of my favorite accents. His scenes in HoA were so much fun because he had so much dialogue.

Anyway, it was a bunch of fun. I don't really do this kind of thing anymore, but I still try to figure out what Wayne sounds like in all of his different accents. Most of them are British-based. Most similar to Cockney.

I also automatically hear a Russian accent whenever Rock speaks, but my Russian accent is horrible, so I don't usually read his lines out.

[The Shadow he/him]

Hoid is David Bowie.

Sazed sounds like Ben Kingsley in my head.

[The Ninja Yodeler he/him]

I fall into the trap of reading all of mine in American accents. Unless they are specifically shown otherwise. Rock has always been Hawaiian to me. Always saw him as Wakka from FFX.http://www.ffmages.com/ffx/images/wallpapers/ffx-wakka-wallpaper-1024x768.jpg

Big guy in the middle of pic. Wayne's actual voice to me is slightly Cockney. Idk I'm really bad at that kind of thing lol. My mind is far too indecisive if it has the option. Voices constantly change for me, just like faces.

When I consciously voice people Rock somehow ends up as a slightly less rough-sounding version of Heavy Weapons Guy . . .

[Datan Nomlibash]

Rock sounds like a pacific islander to me.

[Tetriona she/her]

 

And my favorite: Nightblood in Wheatley's voice (from Portal 2). Seriously, if you've played Portal 2 I can't recommend it enough that you also voice Nightblood this way.

 

 

Well... I hadn't heard Wheatley's voice for Nightblood ​before.... ​but NOW I will never be able to hear it any other way.

[natc]

Well he kinda is a robot AI, in a sense. And not very smart.

Just that, instead of being in a talking robot ball, Nightblood is in a sword of mass destruction. And that he's programmed for evil-vanquishing instead of being a moron.
