I've always had a good imaginations. Even as a child , when reading a book , I could vividly imagine the setting , what the characters looked like and , most importantly to me ,what they sounded like.I had their voices in my head as I read , helping to bring books to life.
The only time that backfires is when a favourite book is made into a film , for example the recent casting of Christian Grey from the 50 shades series . Well in MY mind he IS Ian Somerhalder , sparkling blue eyes , cheeky smile , tanned lithe torso ... errrmmm , *bites lip , where was I ?
Yep back to it , the casting of that other bloke ,( not even bothered about him now) isn't right lol
It will come as no surprise that I even give my Twitter followers voices, I read their tweets in the voices I imagine that they have in real life . But again this sometimes doesn't work out right !!
It's not often that you actually get to hear what Tweeters sound like but I do know some of them from video or voice clips they post , Audioboo posts or phone conversations and I HAVE been surprised.
One who I was led to believe had a mad jumbled up west country burr turns out to be posh , another who I thought would be deep & gruff actually has the most soothing voice ever and another who swears has 'not a trace of scouse' well lets just say I have to disagree !!
Others who tweet like they are chirpy cockney girls about town sound like they are more suited to Downton than Eastenders and there are a few who I have thought to be southerners when in fact they are from way further than the Watford Gap.
It just goes to show that my imagination might be good , but not always accurate , just ask Mr Somerhalder !!!
Oh & if you have ever wondered ( not likely) what I actually sound like , you can hear some rubbish rambles from me here xxx
