Ice Dragon - that is exactly the accent I've always felt Llewellyn to have. Not sure if the voice is as aloof as I've always imagined it but the accent is exactly what I imagined.<br><br>Also, is that your natural accent, because if so, that oddly sounds quite put-on which might be the main problem I'm having with the voice...

Hmm...<br><br>Not sure what I make of this one. I mean, aside the rather glaring issue of my accent being British...

I only slowed it down so I could tell what you were saying. If you tried that one more time, speaking a bit slower, I think it'd come out exellently.<br><br>@Giz: That's pretty good. I like the lisp you did for Stephen, but yeah, the accent sounds a bit odd.

I just did this while waiting for the school bus. It's an Ozy/Llew strip I picked from the archives.

DFC That was very... Umm... Widow Twanky sounding. (for those that don't know, Widow Twankey is a typical character in Christmas Pantomimes in the UK. A fat woman played by a guy, without any attempt at realism)

Hehe, not bad. I think only a true girl could do better. <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hehe. Well, I think we're forgetting someone here that should be easy to do. *Ahem*

[Rooster]

I think everyone who's put stuff forward has their own takes on the accent.<br><br>For example, the strip is set in Washington state, right? So I'd always imagined them sounding like the cast of Frasier (heck, for me Mrs Mudd has Roz's exact voice)<br><br>And I've always thought of Llewellyn as a very soft Scottish accent (even though he is reffered to as a Celtic dragon, and his name is Welsh)...I dunno why.<br><br>Hehe, I'll put my best up as soon as I've made them <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

[Dr. Doog]

I never really imagine them having voices.
