Character Voices: Expectation vs Reality

Posted 1 year, 6 months ago (Edited 1 year, 2 months ago) by Spyridon Toutziaridis Nuclear-Hydrangea

There are games for IC Expectations..., OOC Expectations, User expectations, Character name expectations... but not one for voice yet. Oh well, I guess it's time to make one. 

Similar games: OC music taste expectation

So this game functions similar as most of "expectation vs reality" forum games, this time it is focused on the character's voice claims. What do you think the character would sound like without looking their profiles and their voice claims first, then after you took a peek on their profile and their voice claims, what are your realizations.

  • No NSFW videos
  • Some voice claims may contain swearing, etc. depending what character, singer, or actor. Please put warnings if it contains one
  • Make expectations of the character voice first, then you can take a peek of their profile and their voice claim. If your character doesn't have a voice claim link in their profile, you may drop them here.
  • No cooldown
  • Claim so you wont get sniped
  • If you blocked someone before, make sure to wait for someone else to reply them since you can't see the blocked user but others see it.
Let's start with IC (the character's voice link is below)

Spyridon's voice sounds similar to Stamatis Gardelis, a greek actor

 Scout FourEyedNerd

Expectation: I'm gonna assume Spyridon's voice is quite gruff, rough and overall very masculine

Reality: It's much sweeter and softer than I was imagining, but it suits them quite well!

Scout's VA is Haruhi Fujioka - OHSHC (skip to 39 seconds)

Litchi Baisol

Expectation: Something more relaxed and chill, but still with a bit of anger (sorta passive-agressive) hidden under there.

Reality: The shift from his more normal/friendly speaking voice to a more sinister side wasn't something i was expecting, but i find it that it really fits Wrath as a character!


For NP:

Litchi's Voice: https://youtu.be/cf7jXGmWHFs?t=137 (skip to 2:17 minutes-ish)

Rōjira | ロゥジラ Spinebby

Expectation: Raspy and low, but not in exactly a menacing way. 

Reality: Pretty much what I imagined! You did a good job picking a claim for him.

Nelson Edwards Flashback_arts65

Expectation: They sound like they may have deep Raspey feminine voice that sounds like hiss and moist sound. but their accent sounds more polish and their tone sounds really deep.

Reality: oh damn their voice sounds deep and gorgeous, they do have polish and deep tone I think it kinda dose for my expectation. Love their voice, sounds Beautiful.

Np: Look into his profile to see his Voice claim.

CASEY kirchhoff

EXP: Some reserved, quiet voice, maybe with a bit of an RP English accent? Quite smooth, though not very melodical.

REAL: Ah! Not as reserved or quiet as I expected-- sounds a lot more exuberant. Not as smooth, either. I do hear a bit of an accent, though, and it's kind of similar, but the profile (which I didn't check beforehand since I don't think I'm supposed to) says it ain't British, so oh well. After reading his personality, I think his voice fits quite well!

casey's voice below lmao 

its. its mr. home resonance.  im sorry ... he probably has the same humour too

Eden Aureole SuperNxva

Expectations: Probably a slightly lower, more reserved voice. It's probably very smooth, and maybe a little more androgynous?

Reality: Oh. That was... unexpected. This is a lot more monotone than I thought, and it's just overall louder and less reserved than I was expecting. Much more masculine too.  10/10 voice though. It's great :'D

Yeah, Eden's voice claim is on her profile, so don't look around until after you write down your expectations...

Eden's Voice VV

Echidna from the Re:Zero english dub :)

Saiph Atlas (ffxiv au) zidanetribal

expectations: smooth, perhaps a bit bastardish if that makes sense lol. somewhat lower but not exactly alto

reality: damn i think i was right LOL. nice pick


voiceclaim is in his trivia; ignore that section! otherwise here is a clip for it:

Blair Shadowzim777

Expectations: Was thinking something headstrong, tough, a little brash and arrogant although somewhat light hearted, even jocular at times.

Reality: Seeing the voice being Vash from Trigun, was a bit different then I thought. But I could see how a lighthearted voice works for Saiph

Voiceclaim for Blair in the spoiler tab:

Florence Iras spoilk

expectation: something a bit breathy, maybe even seductive? Kind of an emo, uncaring, smug tone. A really good laugh as well, maybe even a bit like a villan

reality: a lot younger and raspier than I expected! I think it hit it on the mark with the uncaring emo thing, but the voices you picked rly do fit!

Dispatch Darkia

expectation: I'm guessing a very soft and quiet voice, I don't think he'd be much to raise his voice, and he probably has a habit of becoming so quiet that he ends up inaudible. This might just be from appearance, but I could imagine him sounding similar to Neil from all saints street!

reality: Basically what I expected! a soft voice without much edge! although my expectation of Neil is a bit different than the voice of the actual claim!

Sotiris Athanasiadis Nuclear-Hydrangea

Expectation: thinking Dispatch has middle to high voice (between tenor or higher baritone) that has a bit modulated or distorted because it's robotic. Usually on the chill side, but still confident. Some sort of heroic in at some circumstances.

Reality: I was wrong about the chill and heroic part :D. It seems his voice is loud and aggressive at all, and chaotic. Considering he is of evil alignment. I am a bit correct with being in the baritone or mid range though. Still nailed about being modulated or distorted due to him being robotic.

Sotiris voice (his singing voice at least) may be similar to Jyrki 69 from the band 69 Eyes

Achi SapphireBatWings

Expectation: I'm thinking something that is either like Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth or something with more a 'The Cure' sound. So basically something deep and gothic or something deep and gravelly. Basically just something with death rock vibes.

Reality: Love 69 Eyes, they're one of my favorite bands of the genre! xD That aside, that's just about on par with what I was thinking. I feel like 69 Eyes and The Cure have some decent similarities. The depth of the voice is pretty much what I had in mind.
