C. Turtle Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 So, I've been playing a few more dialogue-heavy games lately, especially with the new Ace Attorney game just having been released, so I was kinda wondering, does anyone else read character dialogue aloud when playing a game? Personally, I always read dialogue aloud (provided there's no one walking past my door at the time), and I do my best to make a voice that fits the character, though that may just be a habit I picked up from doing Let's Play videos for a couple years. I was just kinda wondering if anyone else did anything similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I most certainly would not. Lets players reading the game text to you while playing is actually a gigantic pet peeve of mine. If someone does it I immediately start looking for someone else.

EricaofRenais Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I always read things in my head, I don't really like the way my voice sounds and my imagination does a better job of making the characters sound right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Draco Knight Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I read the dialogues in my head, trying to imagine that fits the characters. I don't know why, but when, instead, I try to read them with my voice, It sounds so...wrong to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saisymbolic Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 (edited) I most certainly would not. Lets players reading the game text to you while playing is actually a gigantic pet peeve of mine. If someone does it I immediately start looking for someone else. I'm actually somewhat of the opposite. It annoys me when LP'ers tell me to pause and read; it really breaks the flow of the video that I have to pause every ten seconds when the dialogue can be read in the same time. Especially when it is a game they themselves have already played, so they speed through the dialogue. As for me, yes, I read dialogue aloud. It could be the RP'er in me, or that I just like reading to other people—or myself. I do it in my own voice, however. The only character I do tend to give a voice to is Prosecutor Payne from the AA series—and I tend to do it without meaning to. I can't help but give him this annoying, high-pitched voice.

Irony Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Like SaiSymbolic, I really enjoy RP-ing the characters, including giving them all of the voices. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sire Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I read the characters silently, but I do give them some sort of personality in my head when I do so. However, every now and then I do enjoy others reading characters out loud as their own interpretation and in different voices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't like it when strangers read to me - I have my own ideas of how things should sound, and it almost always clashes with whatever the reader says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
