NOTE: This character will raise their voice. A lot. And then really REALLY raise their voice at other times.

Dragons were long revered and treated as sacred creatures in the time of the Chieftain of Gods, but after the fall of Rhuadu the Dragons no longer had inhibitions. Some even wreaked havoc. And thus, the Dragons went from sacred and respected to feared and sometimes hunted.
Nurang was one such Dragon, who--after the fall, became a recluse in the mountains. Hateful of the creatures who enter her cave, and answers them with fire. 

Voice: Nurang is less of a friendly Dragon, and is more Smaug-esque. Intelligent, but cruel and hateful. Though her evil stems not from greed, but from entitlement, she's embittered by the fact she was once worshiped. Her voice is seething with anger and judgement, and always ready to transition from speaking, to scorching.

NOTE: This character will utilize a number of effects. Some from programs not everyone will have access to. We will be testing your voice against it, however, we have come up with a few easy steps that can be followed on Audacity that comes pretty close to the final effect. If you'd like to give it a try for your own testing purposes, PM me.

Despite this, the effects will depend on the quality of the performance, and after extensive testing we've found these qualities take to the lower pitch and speed filters the best: Slow delivery with enunciation, a low growl-like quality.

Also note, due to the difficulty of capturing such a voice there will definitely be a Shortlist and from there, some fine tuning.

  • Everyone has something to prove when they come to see the great dragon. Kings to compare my grandiosity to theirs, hunters to conquer the greatest prey, scholars to ask the truth from an ancient soul. All think themselves special.

  • You think fire can harm me?! Harm me?! Girl, I - AM - FIRE!

Did you apply any filters on top or is that all natural? Props to you if there are none. I was tempted to go grittier, but was worried about damaging my throat. I think you've got this one in the bag. ;)

    All natural! I experimented for a couple days really focusing on breath & diaphragm control (which is why I take breaths so often!!). Yes, thank you for bringing that up--please, be kind your voice and if it hurts, *don't do it*! I would never do this for more than a half hour at a time. Your take was so beautifully wicked and smokey, really inspiring! You definitely have a new fan! :D
