minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·edit-25 months agoWeirdly, I’ve given this problem some thought. I like to go for famous people with memorable delivery styles and as much variety as possible: Ed Wynn John Wayne Bob Hope John Fielder Noel Fielding Kumail Nanjiani Peter Capaldi Richard Ayoade Stephen Fry Steve Buscemi Peter Cullen Jonathan Frakes This is also a useful reference group for ad-hoc NPCs when running a game of Pathfinder. Edit: I focused on male voices, since we’re talking about doing the Hobbit. But now I want to reuse this for NPCs. Some great, distinct, female voices: Reba McIntyre Jane Krakowski (30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) Natasha Fatale (from Rocky and Bullwinkle) (June Foray) Granny (from Luney Tunes) (June Foray, Tress MacNeille) Jane Kangaroo (Horton Hears a Who) (still June Foray) Daisy Duck (often Tress MacNeille) Dot Warner (Tress MacNeille again) Mrs Featherby (DuckTales) (Tress MacNeille again)
