Voice

The adjustment to our original concept sees the addition of another voice to our film. The station where the robot-character 'recharges' will act as an initial companion to the character (though he may not realise this).

Though this is still in development, I have begun thinking about how the 'voice' of this addition, this charging dock in the wall, will sound.

Having recently seen the film 'Her', I don't think the voice should be overtly human, as I think this confuses the lines between technology and being 'completely humanly real'. However the voice of this should not be completely robotic either, or it should at least offer some warmth. A nice in-between would be good. Ultimately it will depend on design and script how the voice should sound, and isn't our main concern.

I really like the voices in Coheed and Cambria's 'The Hollow', and feeling we should go down this route, or something similar. To be honest, we could also consider adding an effect to the robot-character's voice so he also sounds ever so slightly distorted (like the male voice in this music). A simple distortion could possibly add to the effect of the characters, whilst we are not intending for it to be too dialogue heavy, it could add personality and differentiate the robot-character from the wall-'character', even if it they are just noises to signify something.
