Voice

This is probably mega withdrawal, but I think that’s what you get for waiting for a television show to come back for so long and being spoiled by the outcome. Anyway, since last night, I’ve been listening to The Memoirs of Casanova’s audio book read by Benedict Cumberbatch.

I knew he’s a good voice actor judging by his hilarious imitations of Jonathan Ross and Alan Rickman, but I laughed so hard whenever he brings up his French accent because it is just great!

But what strikes me the most is the way he reads. Guys, I once wanted so badly to be a voice actor; I still do now! I think I’ve given up on that dream while listening to the Casanova audio book. Obviously there are vague sex scenes in Casanova’s memoirs, but the way Benedict’s voice drops from a deep alpha male to a softly spoken lover in the sex scenes makes me shudder everywhere.

I’m like, COME ON. THE DICTIONARY NEEDS AN AUDIO BOOK. GET BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TO DO IT.
