DEATH FTW

[tealin]

Stephen Briggs does Death right! He's just laconic enough without being completely deadpan and he has the perfect pace to the syllables. If only he wasn't a tenor, I could try adding a smidge of reverb and see if it sounded just like what's in my head. I suppose I could try just artificially lowering the pitch; that might also give it the smoothness of tone that natural basses generally don't have....

Yay, distractions. Just had to post that before I forgot.

Yesss!! First comment!! And... I have nothing really to say. Um... yeah. I agree with you, that's something.

First and possibly only, it's not the most repliable post... Thanks for the agreement, at least. :)

This is occasion for me to say thanks, because since I saw everybody talking about Terry Pratchett, I have started reading his books. And they're brilliant.
Death is definitly my favorite caracter, and the funny thing for french ears, is that he's a man, when it's "la Mort".

Tealin, I can't wait to read more of the Discworld books, just to look at your drawing ! :)

Isn't Stephen just the miracle reader? ^^

I do believe this is the first time I have ever seen the phrase "death ftw." Which is actually surprising, considering... the internet.
um. I'll just go now shall I.

audio books

I've been meaning to get some Discworld audio goodness from the library for a long time, might be best to wait after exams though. Have you heard any of the Harry Potter books read by the legendary Stephen Fry?

I have Azkaban but I have to admit I haven't listened to the whole thing yet. It's pretty good, what I've heard so far, but it was kind of hard to get past Stephen Fry reading a book aloud in my living room. ;) What's important is that he's roughly FIVE MILLION times better than Jim Dale.

Maybe there's a mysterious link between being called Stephen and being an awesome voice actor....
