Frozen – Sunday Stills / Red – One Word Sunday / Pique – FOWC / Sage – RDP / Blood – WODC / Weekend Reflections
I actually don’t know what it would be called, but I am going to start with a non-sequitur. Would that make it a pre-sequitur? Anyway, does anyone else “hear” the person you are reading, be it on their post, through a message, etc., like right now, as you read this, do you “hear” what I sound like? Of course, you would have to have heard me in order to “hear” me, but have you assigned or created a voice for me. Especially if you have been following for awhile. It actually is pretty funny, for those I have been following for awhile, who engage me in conversations, I think I have. At least when I read you, I hear different sounds and I think they are based on where you are from and from the stories you have shared. And if there is a photo, your voice definitely is influenced by that. So how crazy would it be to hear the others voices? Especially after a few exchanges. I wonder if it would really mess with your mind. I guess it would be the same if you read a book which was made into a movie. I know that if I listen to an audiobook, and then see the movie, it takes a little bit to not hear the audiobook reader. What is even more interesting is how I have been disappointed here and there. So I am curious, but then perhaps not, as to how the voices would fit the writers. Yes, that what has been weighing on my mind as of late. 🥴 Now that I have piqued your interest, I have to admit that I staged today’s photo. I know that if I waited just a little, the snow/ ice will be falling here and I would have natures response to the challenge. But I wanted to think outside the box. And I knew if I got the right subject, I would find something red inside, even blood red. The sage, however, must be found within the ingredients of the foods, so I imagine that is safe. Now you see why I led off with the non-sequitur. 😛 At least you didn’t have to listen to me read that. I wouldn’t have wanted to disappoint you!
I alway create voices for the characters in books and other writing. It makes sense that when a character is well created in the writing, that you kink it with a voice – it’s all part of the character. You mentioned films, and I rarely enjoy a film of a book I enjoyed – the actors really look or sound like the one in my head.

I think that is why I am so disappointed in adaptions? Makes total sense.

I often imagine how someone would sound. Some two years ago when I first heard GC’s voice he was nothing like I expected. As for looks, I didn’t know what to expect there either, I wasn’t disappointed with either.
I would love to hear the voices of others.
My own voice has been on my site a few times. The last occasion was during the summer after visiting the Beatrix Potter Museum and the cottage where she lived. I created a talking book of Peter Rabbit. One reader suggested I turned the pages too quickly for children, so I created another with slower turning pages. I enjoyed the project so maybe it’s time to do another.
Here is my talking Book.

The only thing I got right was the accent. The voice, not even close. But at least now I can read your posts properly.

English accent yes, but I only have a very slight Yorkshire accent. Yorkshire is very thick and often difficult to understand. You would never have understood my late husband!

I heard that! I worked with a lot of different dialects for acting classes and the various regions is an assignment I would give.

I am nearly always disappointed to hear a character on screen, especially when I have read the book and I know what they sound like, talk in a voice that is not the voice the character has – according to me. I have enough voices in my head without having to try and include yours lol
