Does anyone else read posts in voices they think the poster would talk in?

Asked by chyna (51576points) January 10th, 2009

For example: PNL’s voice is aristocratic because of her avitar, Asmonet is a bouncy voice, Nimis is kind of like ET’s voice and we all know RichardHenry has that really sexy accent..(lost my train of thought here)

Heh, asmonet has Maggie Gyllenhaal’s voice for me.

I know what PnL, omfgtalijustimdu, richardhenry, peedub, johnpowell, iwamoto, buster, and a few others sound like so I just think of their voices. For the rest of the jellies, sorry, but it’s my voice with your words.
P.S. – Iwa sounds like a robot. (kidding.. :p)

LOL i read everyone’s comments in my voice, sorry.

@andrew: Haha! Sweet. :D Cause of my first avatar?

I have individual voices for every Flutherite. I’ve been doing it for characters since I could read, it’s natural that it would bleed over. :)

I like this thread, I wonder why… :D

This is what I hear: Asmonet- Cristina Ricci. Andrew- a young Tom Hanks. Loser- SpongeBob Squarepants. Uberbatman- Crispin Glover. Judi- Kate Hudson. cprevite- Kevin James. Augustlan- Molly Ringwald

Nope, just the usual voices that are in my head anyway!

judochop's avatar

I read everyone’s posts like Barry White or Keira Knightley is whispering in my ear. Sometimes I read them like it is Fran Dresser or Yosemite Sam yelling at me.
Except for AstroChuck and Nimis, they sound like Charles Bronson…

@chyna – aww man i wish my voice sounded aristocratic now :( haha thanks for that anyway

@judochop – nimis = female.

for the actual Q – I read all posts in my own voice sadly. Even though I have heard a number of Jellies speak. How boring of me, I know. sigh

syz's avatar

No, the voices in my head are just my own.

chyna's avatar

Oh no. I didn’t know Nimis was female.

judochop's avatar

@PnL : OH SHIT!
Okay well Nimis is now the voice of Zhang Ziyi.

asmonet's avatar

@judochop: Haha, good choice.
@chyna: Don’t feel bad. No one ever guesses she’s a chick.

chyna's avatar

There should be a disclaimer!

asmonet's avatar

I agree, but she’s been saying she should update her profile for months. It’s never happened. Lame.

@jonsblond: I look like Kevin James, but I sound more like James Earl Jones

I also imagine voices as I read. I also try to picture the way someone looks (if I don’t already know from their avatar or posted photo).

jonsblond's avatar

@cprevite- I don’t look like a jellyfish.

loser's avatar

I just really hope no one hears Martha Stewart or something when they read my answers…

cookieman's avatar

@jonsblond: no, but we at least know your hair color.

jonsblond's avatar

@loser- I prefer SpongeBob, he’s a true blonde!

judochop's avatar

I look just like my avatar.

loser's avatar

I do kinda sound like SpongeBob…

Nimis's avatar

@chyna It’s the damn head to body ratio isn’t it?

@judochop
[in the voice of Zhang Ziyi]
A-ha! I’d imagine you’d look just like your avatar.
[in the voice of Charles Bronson]
Only with a foil hat and some kickass moves.

@asmonet I was mostly just joking about filling out my profile.
For some reason, I have weird hang-ups about such things.
Though I feel kind of bad that PnL runs around correcting everyone.
Sorry, PnL!

Hmmm…besides answering questions about sewing, make-up and hair;
I figured my blatant abuse of the exclamation mark would be a dead giveaway.
Maybe my love for cheap beer and unabashed admiration for toilets
is somehow throwing people off? Gonna have to think about this one.

jlm11f's avatar

sorryyyyy. i felt bad because your gender kept being a topic everywhere! funny. i actually GA-ed the weird hangups quip by you a long time ago. i will stop telling people!!

judochop's avatar

I’m gonna make a foil hat ad bust a roundhouse just for you.

Nimis's avatar

@PnL Doh! Don’t feel bad about it! You can tell
as many or as little people as you would like.
I just feel bad because it seems like so much
work running around correcting people for me.

@judochop Shucks.

nebule's avatar

um…totally!!!...but i still consider myself to be pretty new so I’m not going to say anything outspoken about any of you lovely peeps just yet :-)

chyna's avatar

@Nimis It is the head to body ratio! Cute picture.

fireside's avatar

@Nimis – for me it was the fact that the tentacles actually end up looking like a goatee or soul patch on the small version of the pic.

I just thought you were a very jazzy jelly. I imagined you snapping your fingers to every GA.

Nimis's avatar

@fireside Hey! Who says I’m not snapping my fingers to every GA?
Feel kind of bad for delivering this crushing news though: NO SOUL PATCH.

fireside's avatar

@Nimis – well, i hope not since you’re a woman!
