Voices for XIII

Sundance Kid · Jun 26 2008, 06:14 PM

Idea stolen, yes I know...but I think XIII deserves some lovin to

Any ideas or suggestions on who'd do Lightning's voice? or any of th other character's voices?

Well seeing as she's most likely in her early to mid 20's and "has muscular legs and doesn't cry" she'd probably have somewhat of that masculine woman voice, if you understand what I'm saying

As for the red headed gal, she's I'm thinking, mid teens so something KINDA like Yuna's maybe...

and the blonde guy he's probably like 30 so something like Michael Madson? Perhaps?

I'm thinking she'll have a more calm, collected and mature voice like Mokoto Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell (not the first movie, but SAC). Not necessarily that voice actor, however, but someone like her; since they have similar personality traits/backgrounds.

I think Mr. 33cm will sound like Christian Bale.

Bun · Jun 26 2008, 09:42 PM

Steve Burton looks like Christian Bale and therefore I thought he would be a good voice actor for Cloud, but I was disappointed, so no Christian Bale. That logic doesn't make sense.

No, he'd have to sound a bit younger maybe...Christian Bale's voice is too suave and too deep.

I could play his voice. If he spoke like a human and not in constant shouts or erratic emotion changes.

Heh, I think you are still unemployed then.

And I think Bale would make a fine 33cm. D8

Bale only talks one way too...even when he cries dude.

I don't think 33cm would cry...

So who do you think should do his voice then?

Mr. T or the guy from "Reading Rainbow"

Lavar Burton? Is that who you were thinking of?

Lightning needs to have a great voice to match her personality. A voice like Rikku's or Aerith's is not going to work with Lightning. I will need to think of whose voice would work.

I'm thinking Lightning's voice will be like Ashe's only a bit warmer. Very feminine, but with a rough, scratchy quality.

GrimReaperXIII · Jun 29 2008, 07:29 PM

None! I want her to be MUTE!

If she does have a voice, I want it to be quiet masquline.

Yum....

I mean yes!

Sundance Kid · Jun 29 2008, 07:39 PM

haha yum, down girl

I think she (Lightning) will b e very quiet but I wouldn't want her to be mute...like almost mute but not mute

As for the red head bow wielder cutie, she's definitely in her teens (I hope) so something like Rikku except a little less high pitched.....Hmmm....

GrimReaperXIII · Jun 29 2008, 07:52 PM

The "yum" is for Christian Bale's hotness in Howl's Moving Castle.

Okay, Howl himself is enough to make me weak, but that voice was hawwt...

Sundance Kid · Jun 29 2008, 08:22 PM

I havent seen that movie yet but I really want to, it's the only Myazaki movie I havent seen *tear*

But I can't really see anyone else who'd fit the voice except for...oh...hm...I dont know a professional voice actor like from XII, call me crazy

GrimReaperXIII · Jun 29 2008, 08:29 PM

XII did have really good quality actors, no matter what other people say.

Their voices/bodies may have been stoic, but nobody has over-the-top faciel expressions/body language like in the other FFs in real-life.

And no -breathing- into the mike. ....I hate it when Ashe sighs; it makes me want to pull my hair out. It's like nails on a chalkboard (for me).

Aha. See? I knew it would be awesome.

S-r-ex · Jul 01 2008, 10:53 PM

Well, Debi Mae West (Meryl) isn't the most feminine voice out there. But sure, we need a real tomboy for her role.

But Mr. 33cm...it's GOTTA be good ole' Arnold! I'll be back!

Terros · Jul 02 2008, 05:22 AM

Taylor Hannah for Lightning. From what I've seen Lightning seems like the Lia de Beaumont type from the anime Le chevalier D'eon.

I think Christopher Sabat would be a good choice for Mr. 33 cm. If anyone heard him as Kikuchiyo in Samurai 7.

XIII · Jul 02 2008, 08:16 PM

The girl who did Re-l's (English) voice for Ergo Proxy; she would be awesome for Lightning.

I can't think of anybody else. I don't know many voice actors. I'd might be able to think of other voice actors if I knew the personalities of Mr. 33cm and Ponytails Girl.
