    What do you guys think Carl sounds like? For some reason in the first Automata strips, I imagined him sounding like the Robot Ghost of Christmas Past from ATHF, except somehow not supposed to be funny. Like he speaks out of really loud and shitty speakers. I'm not so sure what he sounds like anymore, I basically alternate between various robot cliches in my head.

    The Grand Galactic Inquisitor, but with less pomposity and more '30s police talk, see?

    Something between David Hyde Pierce (Niles Crane) and John Glover (Gremlins 2, Robocop 2, Riddler in Batman the Animated Series, Lionel Luthor in Smallville); intellectual and refined without being snotty or foppish. With moderate flanging effects like Mass Effect's Turians.

    Or Michael Ansara (specifically his performance as Mr. Freeze in Batman the Animated Series, but a little less severe in delivery), and heavier on the flanging than the above option.

    If you're curious about my icon; it's an update of the early Lego Castle theme's "Black Falcons" faction.

    Huh. I never actually thought about it now that you mention it. Until now, I just had the generic 'the mental voice that I read things in', which is just a sort of bland accentless nothing voice.

    I'd probably go for standard 'talking computer' voice but maybe with extra 'noise' and bad sound quality. What about Clickwise, what do you guys think it sounds like? I thought of it as ticking noises, like someone using a typewriter very quickly.

    To me Carl sounds like GERTY from Moon:

    For some reason I think of a dial-up modem when they speak clickwise. I don't think that makes much sense though.

    anything i read becomes a voice in my mind

    not instantly, of course, it takes time for a voice to develop

    about as long as it takes for that character to develop

    once i have a sense of who that character is, and i have a sense of what i think they would sound like, then my mind just mentally assigns them a voice and that, in my head, is how they sound

    I'd say Hyde-Pierce is close, but not quite.
    To me, Carl's voice is rather mild, a touch on the refined side, little accent and very human (no flanging or processing), especially for coming out of that slot of a mouth.

    I can't decide if I hear HAL or Sunny from the Will Smith I, Robot. I think it's probably the latter.

    Yeah, I think Tudyk as Sonny might be what I'm hearing too. Thanks!

  • McFodderMcFodder Registered User regular
    Yep, I had the mental voice for him but couldn't think why - I, Robot is it.

    I picture the horrible annoying voice from Flight of the Navigator. And now you all will share my burden.
