When I have kids, one of the greatest challenges I'm anticipating is going to be keeping all the voices of the dwarves in the Hobbit diverse yet consistent.

Alternatively Andy Serkis did an audio book for the hobbit and LoTR which are amazing.

I didn't know I needed Andy Serkis singing the songs in the Hobbit until I heard it, but it turns out I did. Dude has an amazing singing voice.

Yeah...If I recall correctly, I think I picked a voice for Thorin, and then everyone else got "generic dwarf voice."

Don't forget to pick some characters you admire for vanity's sake.

What i mean to say is my canon Sherlock Holmes headvoice is father's, who loves Holmes and it would tickle him pink if he knew

That's delightful! Thank you for sharing it.

Weirdly, I've given this problem some thought.

I like to go for famous people with memorable delivery styles and as much variety as possible:

  • Ed Wynn
  • John Wayne
  • Bob Hope
  • John Fielder
  • Noel Fielding
  • Kumail Nanjiani
  • Peter Capaldi
  • Richard Ayoade
  • Stephen Fry
  • Steve Buscemi
  • Peter Cullen
  • Jonathan Frakes

This is also a useful reference group for ad-hoc NPCs when running a game of Pathfinder.

Mine aren't old enough to tell me that I'm doing voices wrong yet. I need to practice.

Mine are old enough, we're over half way through The Deathly Hallows and I've already told the The Hobbit is next.

I'm in trouble

Have you made sure to tell your kids that owning slaves is wrong, even if you're a "good" slaveowner like Harry or Dumbledore?

That and we talked about how the "good guys" only seem to want to maintain the status quo and who that benefits.
