SELKIE (VO): I AM NOTS LOUD!!
Never once been loud
My wife accuses me of shouting all the time. I always tell her back this is me just being emphatic. THIS IS ME BEING LOUD. (I can always be heard if I want to be).
Uh… to clarify so I don’t sound so bad… I never shout at people, I just have a booming deep voice and can make it carry, and when I get excited I unintentionally get louder. Although that’s like going from 5 to 6, instead of to 11 when I actually shout.
Same, mate. I’ve often been accused of yelling when I was just talking normally and forgetting to quiet down.
Trouble is, the habit of quieting down I got into for a previous job often has me overcorrecting normally, so a lot of people who think I’m yelling just haven’t heard my natural voice.
Theater training led to this. My coworkers learned I can get hit-the-back-wall-of-the-theater-from-the-stage loud without screaming when sufficiently provoked. As I am generally a quiet dude, this was entertaining to a few.
Are you… Brian Blessed?
My issue is not being very aware of when my voice is going up in volume, when part of the household is sleeping. Other people in my family can point it out to me and I can adjust, but even being aware that I should be quiet doesn’t keep my volume down if I’m excited about a topic.
Now that I see how Amada seems to be afected by Selkie’s powers and she hasn’t opened her eyes yet… Could it be that when she opens them they glow too?! What a plot twist!
No foreshadowed. The author mentioned that some humans could be echos of a different category.
In an old draft of the story humans were earth benders who forgot how to use their powers by becoming over reliant on technology and Todd was going to be the first one in ages to tap into it. That draft also had wind bending bird people and fire bending dragons in addition to the aquatic sarnothi. I don’t think much of anything of that is still applicable to the current storyline though.
yea I have one of those voices that not only has volume but penetrating power. I have been heard by people MULTIPLE cars away from me ON THE HIGH WAY Moving at full speed singing along to t he radio. Someone called it into the radio station that I was listening to. and asked me to sing Solo. So lo that they couldn’t hear me. ( Was 98 Rock and They were doing a Queen Meddly I CAN sing the sustains and high notes from SomeOne to Love though… i really shouldn’t”
