    What we all sound like

    Last night Behemoth and I were discussing the voice overs for our game Sentience and came to the conclusion that we were not the people to do it. No matter how we recorded them we always came across as being terminally depressed.

    Oh, 'turn complete' and now I'm going to slash my wrists.

    Now this led us on to discussing who we could get to do it and from that on to what people here sounded like. Here are our conclusions...

    IanP - Well I know what he sounds like. Sort of a cross between Donald Duck and Barry White

    Jethro - Typical Aussie. Sentences liberally punctuated with phrases like 'Bonza!' and 'What a ripper!'

    CyberSurfer - Big gruff Scot. The kind who eats live goats and says 'Och aye the noo' without any idea of what it means.

    PlenderJ - Like an Oirish Lepreycaorn

    Kedaman - Still not sure he's actually human. Probably deep and echoing, like he's talking to you telepathic stylee.

    HoneyBee - Quite camp and effeminate with the ubiquitous underlying Indian accent

    Katie - Probably like the Cadburys Caramel Bunny. Yummm!

    I'll add others as they come to me...
    Gentile or Jew,
    O you who turn the wheel and look to windward,
    Consider Phlebas, who was once handsome and tall as you...

    Err...That would match to me...I have deep voice. Probably common to us because Finns talk with a deep voice. Though I do have a deep voice...Well, I haven't heard so I can't really say

    actually jethro would, i would persume have a slight New Zealand accent perhaps.
    I dont know if he was born there or grew up there or whatever.
    So he'd be saying more like "bloody bonza choice bro subwoofaar mate."

    So he'd be a cross i would persume. Though more aussie than kiwi, it is a persumption, i'm sure he'll correct me!

    I think that's the Idea (notice the *crap cockney accent* ) kinda gives it away that he is a northerner. As no self-respecting southerner would speak like this.

    Yeah But I suspect when he says he's a northerner he must be from Newcastle as that what they all call themselves. Technically I suppose it is Northern England, but to us Scots he's really still a softy southerner who drinks Pimms & Lemonade

    Ahhh another one who tosses the caber altogether to often.

    So as a scots man, you regard yourself a part of England? because we alway refer to northerners as northern England. But if you want to be classed as English thats fine by me. As a point of intrest we usually regard you Scots as our bastard cousins in the Heathen lands.

    But seriously have you ever worn a skirt (kilt)? and if so, do you go traditional scottish style?

    I have my own kilt (like the rest of my family) and I have worn it on hundreds of occasions. And yes, I wear it the traditional way, it would be far too embaressing to have somebody check and to find that you were wearing underwear!!!

    Which raises the best point of wearing the kilt, it drives women crazy. You walk into a bar and loads of women are checking to see if the rumours are true... and when they find that they are ....

    You cannot fail to pull when you're wearing a kilt!

    I suppose wear a skirt to get a skirt. The fact of the matter is it's still a skirt. Even the Sporran? Who would check to see if you are wearing underwear? your father?

    But I don't really have anything against the Scots (I am half Scottish myself, thankfully the upper half)

    Amazingly enough, women check all the time.

    We were on a stag night in England and this woman comes up to one of my mates and says "So what do you wear under your kilt.". He (being half p*ssed) says "Nothing" and lifted his kilt up and flashed his wedding tackle at her. "So, what do wear under your dress?" he replied at the hight of wittisism. "Nothing!" she replies, and lifts her dress up to reveal that she is not infact lying. This in front of ten blokes. Needless to say he scored that night.

    I seem to recall I failed to score that night, as me and another mate were getting on really well with these two really cute French girls, but they had a mate who was (too put it politely) a bit of a skank and we were trying to bribe another mate of ours to take her home so we could get lucky with the two cute ones. I still haven't forgiven him for refusing to it, and that was 10 years ago.

    if you record me with sound recorder you have to do "increment speed" about 8 times to be able to hear something that is if you are not an alien with lower hearing frequency at 6 nanohertz
