Hetty

[exdevlin]

Not really an audition, but I just wanted to post some fun bits of me trying out Hetty's character in various ways.

First up, Azula style. app.box.com/s/amj0hvuaw23sqhrjesqe

[quinkgirl]

Wooow, Hetty's voice! I always imagined that it was more childish, I guess it's probably because of her doll appearance. I mean, she can sound cute but evil at times too, right? That's how I imagined it, anyway. This is pretty damn awesome!

[Señor Goose]

Dude, you sound almost exactly like Azula.

What if we shifted the pitch up?

[exdevlin]

I was actually going to just do another read with a higher voice! Coming either tonight or tomorrow, now that I'm back from PAX.
Edit: And also rebalance this read, because clearly, the volume is too low.

Yeah, I like this one better.

[insiderhell]

I love your Hetty, the cute one is really great.

[Daedalus]

The 'cute' one is really, really terrifying: congrats! You got the point across, and it fits the character really well.

Having an Azula-esque voice for that is great, too.

[quinkgirl]

That is the cutest and most evil voice at the same time. I like this one better, it's really cool

[Daedalus]

God, going over the chapter Quicksilver, I now read all of Hetty's lines to myself as Azula.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??!! THIS IS WORSE THAN BOXBOT!!!

jk, jk

Nothing is worse than Boxbot.

Boxbot? I've never understood what was wrong with him. He's kinda cute, actually... sorta.

[Daedalus]

That's the point. The joke is that he's terrible, for no particular reason. Other than general incompetence.

[quinkgirl]

Okaaay... I can see how it would be a pain to move around with such short legs and long arms. Now I'm picturing him trying to get up a flight of stairs and cracking up. I see your point

[exdevlin]

Poor Boxbot, nobody likes him at all.

When I read the chapter, Hetty was totally Azula in my head. Especially when her symbol starts showing. :S

[quinkgirl]

I think I'm the only person who doesn't know this azula now

You don't know who Azula is??!??

[legion]

Well geeze, there are people who don't know who princess Leia is. It's not that important really.

Yeah, I know ol' cinnamon bun hair. I think everyone knows her... Hopefully. I'm not very familiar with star wars, though I did read 2 and a half of the movies from this book.

[legion]

Most people in the world haven't seen Star Wars. American Culture is not a universal constant, and the subset of American Culture that is Geek Culture even less so. I don't know why geeks act as if it was and react with utter shock and terror with confronted with elements of reality that show that not, it isn't.

Gee, it's a good thing I didn't say any of that then, isn't it?

I wouldn't want to incur your wrath on this issue, clearly.

[legion]

Given that you didn't say anything but just posted an image macro, I am left with trying to interpret what you are trying to convey based on this single image, with very little elements to work with in order to reach my conclusion. If you consider that my conclusion is wildly inaccurate, perhaps you could remedy this by communicating in a less dramatically ambiguous and fuzzy fashion.

[The Anarch]

Serious business.

I didn't imply that "American geek culture" was ubiquitous, I wasn't even thinking about "culture". I was making a really dumb joke as I am wont to do, and you interpreted it as me marveling that Star Wars was not required viewing for every living being.

This is obviously a hot-button subject for you, and I am terribly sorry if I have offended your sensibilities. That was not my intention.

SPOILER: Click to show

(I hope that was less ambiguous.)

[exdevlin]

Dudes, chill! It's okay! I know an intern who still hasn't seen The Matrix yet, let alone LOTR, nor many other fairly well-known popular culture references. Most people see it as a good opportunity to indoctrinate somebody into a fandom, which can be seen as a good or bad thing, I guess.... >.>

If you have some time, go back and watch the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series. You might like it

[quinkgirl]

Oh... I watched a few episodes of that before. I can't remember anyone's names though.

[exdevlin]

quinkgirl: There are like 3 seasons of awesome. I highly recommend it.

[quinkgirl]

I have no way of watching it... unless if I do it online which will take forever because I don't have that much time. Plus I'm going through Sword Art Online and One Piece right now.

[exdevlin]

Pffff, SAO is only 26 eps right? You can totally watch it all in one weekend, then start on Avatar.
