CF: The Voice 2017

[EyesOfKohl]

As per the accent thread, I thought it would be call to have a voice competition on CF, in which users can vote for their favourite

For example categories:
Best male voice
Most attractive male voice
Scariest voice
Best accent

Best female voice
Most attractive female voice
Scariest voice
Best accent

(still up for discussion)

Who would be interested to participate?

We would have a standard paragraph that competitors would read.

I'd be interested if we ever decide to do it.

"Topics of sex or premarital sex are off topic and will not be discussed or promoted in the singles forum."

I think the "sexiest" voice should be left out because it violates the spirit of the above rule and could get the thread shut down fast.

Are you serious?

I understand that rule, but you need to look at this in the right context. We are not talking about sex or premarital sex here.

We can simply change it to 'most attractive' or 'most intriguing'

Are you serious?

Of course but it wasn't said in an official way just "sayin" it could get reported if someone thinks it crosses the line.

 

[MehGuy]

I think I have the deepest voice here..

For a white guy at least, lol.

 

[Gnarwhal]

If this is true then the thread's already won.

 

[MehGuy]

Then it's game over for the rest of us. Thanks Leo.

But she'd be competing in the women's division. Lol.

 

[Gnarwhal]

That's a formality. Nobody wants to hear men's voices.

 

[MehGuy]

That's a formality. Nobody wants to hear men's voices.

I think the women do. Especially if its deep and manly.

Honestly I think women have more to care about voices than men care about women's voices. Lol.

Aww, that's not true! You should do it, too.

I already did this once, and won. It wouldn't be fair to keep winning.

I'm a humanitarian, I couldn't subject folks to that... they'd try me for genocide at The Hague.

 

[TheRealAriel]

I would play! My voice isn't anything to write home about but I could try for scary?

Spoiler: Basil and Cheese

'Hey Tony, could you pass me the sugar?'
Tony passed William the sugar before handing him back the roll of aluminum foil. To his dismay the aluminum foil was not the usual brand that they normally bought, but an inferior domestic brand. 'Why didn't you buy the usual brand', quipped Tony? 'I didn't have time to go to the our usual store' replied William. Then they sat in the kitchen in silence, hoping Emma would return soon with the basil and cheese.

NOTE: Feel free to use another accent (if you can) for the voice of William (highlighted in blue)
