HordikaMode Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 When you read a Bionicle book, do you read in the voice they were given in the movies? I didn't realize it until last year when I decided to read the 2008 books. I noticed that in my mind, Lewa sounded like a leprechaun, and Kopaka had a quiet scratchy voice in my brain. Then when I read the original Chronicles, I imagined the characters as they were seen in Mask of Light, and they spoke with those voices. Has anyone else had this happen to them?! It's weird!

Ballom Nom Nom Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 No, I don't really do that much, given I don't remember any of the voices from the movies. Also, my initial reaction to the title: ~B~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eeko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Nope, I always used my own voice ideas for Bionicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I don't think I've ever done that for a Bionicle book. >Not reading the first greentext story on BZP >2013 Be a cool kid and vote for mighty morphin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protodite Karzahni Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I try to, like I do with every book. Occasionally I'll just forget and start reading in that beautiful monotone voice my mind creates for me. No, I don't really do that much, given I don't remember any of the voices from the movies. Also, my initial reaction to the title: ~B~ My initial thoughts were, "Whose voice? How can I read it in someones voice when there's nothing specific to- Ohhhhhh." I wrote stories once. They were okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takatu Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Yeah, I do, because I generally agree with a lot of the movie voices they picked. For those that weren't in movies, I try to imagine what they'd sound like given their personality, the way they speak, and sometimes build (big giant Nocturn probably has a deeper voice than the thin Takadox, for example). People who saw my posts in old "celebrity voice cast" threads knew how into it I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyska Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Lewa sounds Irish for me, too. Tahu sounds similar to his movie voice, as does Onua, but Gali has a softer voice, Pohatu has an Australian accent, and Kopaka sounds like Alan Rickman. 3DS Friend Code: 0018-0767-4231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerMiner Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Generally I use the voices Hand-picked by my own imagination. It makes it quite interesting, but I suppose I do it with a few characters... ~PowerMiner~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewa Krom Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 The voices I hear are influenced, but not completely determined by the movies and other sources. I generally have my own idea for them. Keep in mind that if Star Trek fans had, as a group, said, "No point in talking about this anymore, it's never going to come back," it never WOULD have come back. -- Greg Farshtey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emzee Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 This looks like a "yes/no" question, meaning that this would be better as a poll in the Voting Booth. Go ahead a start a poll over there.
