How does it sound?


I've compiles a list of words describing the voice. I was looking for one that would fit one of my character and got carried away. Thought I'd share my findings with you.


Anger - loud, rough
Nice - smooth, sweet
Type – Rich, sophisticated, snobbish, nose in air
Uneducated – gruff, slang, improper use of language


Other -


Booming,
adult with a childish voice
A voice that reminded me of my friend from the past
Rich southern drawl
Unearthly quality
Dreamlike, ghostly, grave, serious
Warm, soft
Grating, gravely,
Makes your teeth tingle, hurt, headsplitting
Dark
Mellow and light
Voice chimed
Voice pierced my eardrums and made my gums bleed
Jovial
Deep, captivating
Intriguing
Edge to his voice
Harshness
Arrogant
Smooth baritone
Resounding alto
Lilting
Soprano
Vibrating, gravely voice that vibrated deep in his throat
Echoing
Sting to his voice that made me think I’d just bitten into a lemon
Voice folded in a rattle like eggs frying
Creeky
Tembre
Spongy voice, as if mucas were wrapped around her vocal cords
The pitch and energy of his voice
Nasal
Rhythm and rate
Breathy
Creaky, like two hard surfaces rubbing against one another, enough to make your teeth rattle.
Bleat like a lamb’s cry
Hoarse, harsh, grating
Honky, nasal
Resonant, sound carries well
