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?:)
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!

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.
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?

I must say I appreciate your restraint.
How did Mr.Parker get the part?Faceful of Kitchen wrote:Nightwatcher wrote:Faceful of Kitchen wrote: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.
