Hope you like it, I tried to make his voice as inhuman and ghoulish as possible. The synching is a tad off, it was hard to figure out the exact mouth movement on a character that never moves his lips.

Nice...is it full CG, or a model that has been manipulated with CG?

Nice voice....although I was immediately put in mind of Gollum! Just get him to cough 'Death' repeatedly as a nervous tick, and it's Death doing impressions on open mic night!

Thanks, it's not a CGI model but a photomanipulation. I guess he does sound a bit like Gollum. Or Cobra Commander with throat cancer.

Lol, good work none the less!

I liked that. Although I've always imagined Judge Death would sound like a hissing Mysteron from Mars.

Yeah, a hiss emanating from within....seemingly having nowt to do with the mouth..... That said, for an animation, I think you gotta get some facial movement on the go. But if you try speaking with yer teeth bared....it's definitely a hiss!

I'm Not criticising by the way. Just pointing out out your (excellent) interpretation is different from what I Imagined. In fact, with a bit of digital wizardry, that could match it perfectly. Just make it sound like it's echoing around a crypt and make every hard consonant reverberate like a nail being hammered into a coffin. If I had the sound editing skills I could show you what I mean.

Thanks Pops. A echo effect of sorts would have added more creepiness I agree, but I don't have good enough sound software to create it. The result usually sounds robotic and digital, like songs made with auto-tune.

They should get the rapper DOC to voice Judge Death
