Who Should Voice You?

[Motly Fool]

Ok so this idea hit me and I kinda thought it would be a neat thing to put forward to people. What Amateur Voice Actor on this site would voice YOU in a production.

Assume you are a character (main or supporting or villain or whatever role you think you would be is up to you, but it can factor in your decision) and that you have to cast yourself. Which VA would you pick? It can be anyone as long as you give reasons as to why they should play you.

Some Guidelines:
- YOU CANNOT CHOOSE YOURSELF! That defeats the whole purpose of this!
-You must give reasons and explain WHY this person is perfect for you.
- Establish what role you are in the production. Are you playing a villain, the main hero? Try to pick something that suits your personality best.
- BE HONEST! Don't just listen to someone think they sound Badass and then say "Oh they are playing me!" or something to that extent.
- Have fun with this!

Ok, so get started and let's hear who you think should play you!

Hands down: Isolde Michi

Why: This girl and me are like sisters. She loves the same things as me (singing, voice acting, playing clarinet) and she's such a determined person. She sometimes can have her adorable moments and also her serious moments. On top of that her voice range is the same as mine.

My Character: My character would be the Feline friend. No not kitty kitty! But A Cat demon who isn't the main character. She would be there to listen to everyone's trouble and sometimes thought of as a motherly type but when she's hyper or mad watch out. Hyper she bounces off the wall and acts like a 5 year old child. When mad she will be willing to die to protect those who've hurt her or her friends.

Is that good?

That is great! Interesting pick!

I would voice the lead role of me in Me: The Radio Play. It would be a slice of life production about me as I go through my life dealing with the banal and derelict upstream trudgeon of my increasingly meaningless existence, punctuated every so often by guest spots from much more interesting people and how I inexplicably bring some small amout of joy to their lives by letting my heart of gold shine through my cynical exterior and throw in some giant explosions and Navy helicopters and perhaps some gilded titties. All in an anime art style.

I chose me because, with my range and experience in the subject of me, I could bring quite of bit of the character and charm that the role of Me deserves. I could only hope that, one day, one lucky soul would stumple upon a part of Me, have a listen, and appreciate the pathos and fits of demented glee that I bring to me, and think, hey...if he could be me, then maybe I can be me too.

Aw, we can't choose ourselves? Despite the fact that ourselves are in fact VAA members? Bad form. Baaaaaaaaaaaaad form.

I would want Motly Fool to play me in a radio play where I am locked in an extradimensional gulag filled with silent eyeless screaming monsters who subsist on the mewing cries of the suffering and I could never escape and be bound with chains to face the jagged painful implements of sleepless ancient entities made of utter malice, and ultimately be forced to die screaming over the course of untold eons because he sound Badass and I say "Oh they are playing me!"

This sounds like an incredibly happy radio play. Wait...how do you do an anime art style in a radio play?

This site will find a way. When it comes to anime it always does.

Gotcha...I suppose...

Ehh, casting yourself really defeats the purpose of the thread. It's who would play you, not what would a radio play about me be about. That's just extra to help explain your choice and not the actual point of this.

I shall give this an attempt, do not laugh ^^

Who: After (a lack of deliberation - I think instinct choices are usually the most accurate) I would actually lean towards Shudo-Ranmaru.

Why: If you're thinking "....huh?" I'm right there with you ^^. But thinking about why she was one of my first people to strike me maybe I can see it a bit. Shudo and I tend to be cast in different voice types - usually I play lower, darker characters, whereas she defaults to higher protagonist characters. But when it comes to real life when I'm away from the mic and when I think about myself I tend to see someone who is very dramatic and volitile in emotion and action. Shudo is a very talented actress and if anyone ever had the crazy idea to do a radio play/anime of me, I could certainly see her having the energy to follow my mood swings and maintaining the more sincere side that occasionally pops through.

My Character: When let loose my ego is a dangerous thing, so if I'm going to cast myself I might as well say the story would be about me. I have far too many interests to really pick a specific plot, but I could definitely see myself in a modern Jane Austen retelling of sorts, playing an over dramatic character who spends a little too much time daydreaming and can't figure out why the rest of the world doesn't fit her picture of what life should be. I'd probably chuck some songs in there too - I like musicals
