More Milo

This section is on speech, so this will be fun. I like thinking about how he would sound, and he's got a lot of fun quirks to play with.

Speech

1. What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? 

He has an average pitch to his voice with a few squeaky tendencies.

2. How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? 

He speaks really quickly. It’s often tough to keep up with him. He doesn’t hesitate ever, even if he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? 

Because technically this kingdom doesn’t take place here, I can only give the equivalents. Milo speaks with something like a Scottish or Irish accent. He’s not easy to understand all the time, because it is very strong.  His quirks are things like leaving the ‘g’ off the end of words. He does a lot of talking, so there’s a lot of them.

4. What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? 

He speaks English, but can speak other languages, most of them just being conversational. Unfortunately, I can’t give exact languages because its not our world.

5. Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? 

He can do so when he’s trying to be convincing. He is really good at doing accents.

6. Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? 

He almost never thinks about his words. He just sort of starts talking and doesn’t stop.

7. Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? 

He is more relaxed than eloquent, but he isn’t inarticulate. He can fake whatever he needs to do to get the point across. He’s a great liar and very convincing.
