In which voice would you like your posts on Barbelith to be read?
I would have to go for Milton Danvers, twitchy freaky FBI agent played by Jeffrey Combs in The Frighteners.

pointless and uncalled for

11:44 / 19.11.02

Samuel L. Jackson would be ideal but I don't think I can write to the level of his expression.

Julie Birchill would be able to do my posts justice, or possibly Michael Portillo.

Bear

11:54 / 19.11.02

That weird skin eating demon from Buffy that I saw last night. What was his name again? Scary but great!

Ethan Hawke

11:57 / 19.11.02

I would like mine to be read in John Malkovich's slight lisp.
The man's got a sexy voice.

The Return Of Rothkoid

12:07 / 19.11.02

Like I said before: James Mason. In a fez.

Ah, Leonard...

Rollo Kim, on location

12:20 / 19.11.02

John Hegley.

Haus about we all give each other a big lovely huggle?

12:22 / 19.11.02

Alan Rickman as snape would be *lovely*. Failing that, Eric Morecambe.

Sax

12:23 / 19.11.02

Terry Christian introducing The Happy Mondays on The Word.

Pepsi Max

13:10 / 19.11.02

13:13 / 19.11.02

Gollum. My precioussssss.

Petter Lorre.

Mako(I).

Our Lady of The Two Towers

13:56 / 19.11.02

Jaye Davidson or whatever hir's (see! See!!) name was, only to dibs hir before anyone else does.

Failing that Michael Holdern doing 'Paddington Bear'

Graham Gooch

Tom Waits

Ganesh

14:42 / 19.11.02

Shean 'Woman-Shlapper' Connery

Cherry Bomb

14:45 / 19.11.02

The "teenage worker" character on the simpsons.

"Haha! I'd like to see that!"

George Burns

Nick Cave. In full-blown cod-southern drawl.

That's th'way Ah've always sounded in thuh churnin depths of mah own fucken headspace, anywez.

William Burroughs.

Wow. I already sort of "hear" Haus' post as if they were in Alan Rickman's voice. Wow.

I'd like to have my posts read by either Stephen Malkmus or Tom Scharpling, mostly because I cop a lot of my own vocal mannerisms from them already.

When I'm writing posts in a bad mood, I'd like a supremely pissed-off Mark E Smith to fill in-AH!

Tryphena Absent

15:55 / 19.11.02

The woman from the Shop in the League of Gentleman.

Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

17:02 / 19.11.02

Lyle Lovett.

Linus Dunce

17:12 / 19.11.02

Pre-South Park Isaac Hayes. With a Home Counties accent. To match my voice in real life. :-)

Cat Chant

17:13 / 19.11.02

Argh! Haus, I can't believe you beat me to Rickman! I'll fight you for him!

Oh, all right. Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy, then... But realistically, it's going to have to be Deva, isn't it? (That's David Collings, you ignorant lot. Also played "Silver" in Sapphire and Steel, but you need to get the fussy, underappreciated tones of Deva rather than the louche competence of Silver.)

I look like him too.

Less searchable M0rd4nt

18:13 / 19.11.02

Jaqueline Pearce.

Mourne Kransky

18:36 / 19.11.02

Klaus Kinski (in Nosferatu The Vampire or, better yet, Aguirre Wrath of God).

But I'm probably more Oliver Postgate really...

Kosh from Babylon 5.

Wallace Shawn. But of course.

The Monkey

20:11 / 19.11.02

Victor Wong (you know, the creepy guy from "Big Trouble in Little China) and Tom Waits, working in tandem, because at heart I really am a crusty, disappated old man.

But if I write in Japanese, it has to be Toshiro Mifune, because few human beings have ever sounded cooler.

Johnny Cash.

I think I'm changing my option to Oliver Platt

Baz Auckland

01:19 / 20.11.02

Steve Buscemi in Ghost World?

gravitybitch

02:02 / 20.11.02

It's a tossup between Sigourney Weaver (if I'm being serious) and Geena Davis (circa Earthgirls Are Easy) when I'm being flippant... You get to decide which one's appropriate.

Of course, if I'm being really serious over in Magick, I must sound like James Earl Jones. With reverb.
