Often times when I'm reading my old roleplay posts or writing new ones, I often find myself drifting in and out of the characters voice or what I imagine the character would sound like. And then I got to thinking, what if the other person/people I was roleplaying with also gave their characters voices, adding new dimensions to the character and perhaps giving a better understanding as to what the character is truly thinking or saying.
Sure I've thought about it, but I'm not too sure how it would turn out. Would the posts be read out entirely with voices added only to the dialogue or would separate files be sent for each piece of dialogue, allowing the reader to take in the story and character at their own pace and place the audio when they felt it appropriate? Would the addition of music in the background be yet another thing that could be added as if they were in a tv show or movie themselves?
And then of course there are the downsides like: would there have to be auditions? Sure in normal roleplaying you sometimes pick and choose your partners but the audition process would, depending on how particular the person was about their partner, be rather hard. Often times as the story progresses I add a voice in my head to the other characters and would that be ruined by the addition of a real voice? Or perhaps it would make me feel a greater connection to the character.
This right now is just something that I'm thinking about. I would like to hear what other people think and suggestions as to this idea. Maybe one day this will actually come to life or maybe this ship is meant to sink but I can't see either side without the help of some other creative minds.
