How's My Driving?

H.M.D.?!
[I KNOW YOU'RE EXCITED!!]


How It Works:
[1] List your name and your characters for which you would like some feedback (use our handy form, if you like)!

[2] Please refrain from posting pictures, .gifs, videos, giant text, sparklies, blinking and moving tags, and &c. outside of collapsed threads. For the sake of our sanity and our load times. You are welcome to link to them in top-level comments, but otherwise please save 'em for collapsed threads.

[3] Open hands, await feedback and go forth and leave some polite thoughts, crit, questions, concerns, comments, suggestions, or any combination of the above for your fellow players about their respective characters. In this, we really encourage you to ask questions and get explanations about what has gone into characterization decisions. Communication is key. Find out what went into an action or decision and you may come to understand it better. Let's talk it out.

[4] Please try to be polite and constructive. Can't stress that enough, can I? Give suggestions and ask questions! Be constructive! But please also refrain from using "placeholder" comments. HMD isn't going anywhere, I promise!

[5] If you'd like, you can certainly list your personal HMD posts and contact posts over in the POLYchromatic Rainbow Pages directory.

[6] As per our community poll, Anonymous is off. We'd also like to request that sockpuppets not be used on this HMD. You are welcome to post a link to a personal HMD thread where Anonymous is allowed; these threads are your own lookout.

The form:


To the best of my abilities, I'll keep an ongoing and alphabetical list of everyone's HMD comments here below for your browsing pleasure.

I'm not terribly tonal at all, at least when it comes to spoken speech, but I think you did a good job explaining it anyway -- I can grasp most of it, at least XD; Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for.

I've tried looking at the script but the one I found had a lot of differences in who actually said what compared to the movie; I'll have to see if Bon or someone has one and if not, time to type up all his lines. I think having something to look at and run through RIGHT THERE will help as I start trying to work through this and hopefully I can go from there with the written lines + making him say a bit more. His voice has been bothering me a lot, which... sob is part of why I've been so slow about doing his tags a lot of time.

Thank you so much <333

It occurred to me on my drive that I could have explained it like....

He starts out sort of bland, almost mumbling. You noticed it in saying how he sounds sort of hoarse and sick! But then he makes a slow build to menacing.

(jaws theme)
