How does your voice and your character's voice differ? - CrimeSpace2024-03-29T00:10:45Zhttp://crimespace.ning.com/forum/topics/how-does-your-voice-and-your?id=537324%3ATopic%3A223409&feed=yes&xn_auth=noWriting does give one a chanc…tag:crimespace.ning.com,2010-01-04:537324:Comment:2236562010-01-04T01:19:16.543ZSaundra Crum Akershttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/SaundraCrumAkers
Writing does give one a chance to explore all sides of things and to project ourselves into another entity whether it be the opposite sex, various religions, or even an inanimate object. Maybe it makes us understand better and become more tolerant for others problems.

I like writing as both male characters and female characters, so I guess I get to exercise my masculine side and hope my "guys" aren't too feminine. Since I'm a little bit dainty, a little bit tomboy that isn't a problem so far.

I want my characters to speak in their own voices too, but I hear my voice when I describe scenery or something like that.

Well supposedly the writers voice is to come through somehow, but in my characters, I'd like each voice to be unique. You do have to head hop if overseeing all the characters.

That's an interesting approach to working with your characters. I never tried that. I see them as people in a little community that interact with each other and the interactions change them as they go.

I don't think your characters can be more interestign than you. They just have more interesting backstory and a life that you created from your interesting mind.

For me predicting the character's voice is like predicting a close friend's voice and saying what I'd expect that person to say.

Yes you need to be careful not to interrupt the flow. For me it's as if I'm seeing my character and getting into his head but I guess I'm still doing so using my thoughts and projecting them into the character's situation.

Yes I agree. If I'm using first person I think psychologically I'll tend to put more of me into it. I mostly write in third person.
