What does his voice sound like on that tape?

And what did Chris Latta sound like, too? :???:


It is quite difficult to describe a voice...or a sound for that matter. He has a sort of scratchy mechanical sound like something which was tuning in and it became clear and almost sinisterly soft. I'd liken it close to the japanese Galaxy force Starscream. He had a lovely voice. Then it sort of tuned out and became scratchy again. I kinda wish I could download it into your head.


What was said on the clip was something like...

Scratchy and sort of unclear. Lots of jet noises and possibly something transforming "Attention Sector Seven Starscream."

"The allspark will be mine." this part was clear and sort of smooth, kinda attractive, especially if I visualise G1 in there. It is rather sinister sounding because it is almost human.

This last part is very hard for me to understand because of other sound effects in it. "Regardless of your(?) intention, you will face annihilation" or something close to that.


I can try to use my imagination. (My sense of touch also acts as a kind of substitute for hearing, especially if I put my hand on something and feel the vibration.)

Sounds...sounds like the slowly turning meat grinder and when it grows soft, it's almost like a content cat's purring, correct?:)
Chris Latta's voice feels like a fine vibration at the same time running your fingers over slightly course sandpaper. The voice on the tape has a medium vibration while running your fingers over very fine sandpaper.


Not to be too nosy, but do you, or are you able to, enjoy music? I'm guessing the concept would be fairly different.

I personally wish we still had Misdreavus around... quite interesting herself-- she was mute... and always got pissed whenever people assumed she was deaf as well! :P
Is this question for me or for Screambug? :???:


Well I was kinda assuming only one one you is deaf. :P

If that is Starscream saying "the allspark will be mine." it is terrible. Terrible, terrible VA. It better not be so straight in the movie. hopefully it'll sound like the start and end VA of that audio clip...

I like Starscream sounding like the whiny little bitch he is :P

No, I'm not pissed if you know I'm deaf. I just don't tell the whole world that I'm deaf...I am simply being one of you, heh. :P

Thank you for describing the likeness of Starscream's voice to a subtle vibration over the sandpaper (assuming the finger is really your ear if you can hear.)

So it does sound like Starscream has a few rats scratching away inside his voicebox? :lol:

The first time I heard that, I near cried of disappointment,but then I decided to listen again, hoping that I heard wrong. Luckily, I did. lol

"The Allspark will be mine". *nods* I can take that. I just wish it was just a tad more high in pitch. :3 For once, I'm not disappointed by the writers! lol

This audio clip is alright, nothing too special about it. But I am so far a bit disappointed in the movie anyways. Mainly due to the robotic forms and the hideous Megatron.

I was worried when i heard that Tom Kenny was to be the voice of starscream for the new cartoon, but if that was his take on starscreams voice , then i should have nothing to worry about.

i finally got around to hearing it (i don't have a working soundcard on my comp at home, i'm at the library right now), and imo it sounds pretty generic. if it were a bit more high-pitched (not necessarily to the extent of the g1 voice, which i readily admit was cartoony, but enough to at least point toward that as a significant influence), perhaps i'd be satisfied with at least one aspect of the movie starscream. honestly, i'd prefer dobson, and i wasn't particularly impressed with his starscream. eh, looking on the bright side, at least it's not doug parker.

i don't know, perhaps i'd have shown less if i actually cared about the movie at this point. although really, my vehemence when it comes to parker has as much if not more to do with how he got the part as with the voice itself. and it also helps that this, like dobson's starscream, clearly isn't trying to duplicate the g1 voice, whereas parker's was. it's just too generic for my tastes, which means that while it's not up to the high standards of the other voice casting that's been announced, it'll fit in perfectly with just about every other aspect of the movie.

No way the new voice sounds like Latta's Screamer. It doesn't even compare. The new voice for Starscream is more comparable to Hank Azaria's Venom voice from the mid 90's spiderman cartoon.

How did Mr.Parker get the part?

he gave it to himself over a more qualified voice actor already on staff. he was also the casting director for the show, so he simply decided he wanted to do it and cast himself, ability be damned, even though scott mcneill had flawlessly assumed the role of cobra commander without anyone noticing when latta left gi joe in the early '90s.

i'm sort of infamous on this site for my vitriol on the subject of both his starscream voice and that episode as a whole, and this section gets way too many angry rants as it is, so i'll just leave it at that.

This might be a bit premature, as I'm unable to authenticate the user or the audio file, but...

At http://www.buzznet.com/groups/StopSectorSeven we have a new user calling himself "Cod3x" (with the letter 'o' instead of the number '0' like it was on the Sector 7 "Informants" email). The user has posted a new audio file that he claims to have received through his SETI@home program...

LINK TO AUDIO FILE

Now, I'm no audiophile, and the voice has been modulated a lot... (You'll get what I mean about halfway through!) If anyone can clean up the audio file so we can hear what he's saying, that'd be wonderful! :grin:

All I can say is MEH.

Im not that impressed. To me he sounds like an old guy just reading some lines. I mean its pretty flat, where is the inflection? I guess they are going with the old slow and creepy delivery so that you know its a bad guy talking.
