Who would you like to be?

Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

Hello Everybodypeeps! :D

Just an idea for a little game - might be fun!

I'm sure that everyone - just like myself - has a 'fantasy' character that they would like to portay.

So - who would you like to be?

For my own part, it would be Shere Khan from Kipling's 'The Jungle Book'.

Baddies seem to get much better lines, and I would love to be this particular baddie'!*

As this is just a game, I don't think that you need to limit yourself to 'public domain' characters -
it's not as if we are ever going to 'do' them...

BUT - only one character, please! (My game, my rules! :wink: )

*Do you ever notice that the majority of 'Evil Bar Stewards' in Hollywood movies are English?
(Not 'British' - English! ...Odd that!)

Anyway - love to hear just 'who' would be your ultimate read!

That's hard because there's so many... not even from books! So my 20 would be.. no just kidding. I can't simply pick one! Tough choices

Just added an extra rule.

No teasing!

(I'm sure that we all know who I am talking to. 8-) )

Probably Jane Eyre. Intelligent, philosophical, independent, kind, non-superficial, with a strong character.

Necroposting but I’d love to be Hermione from Harry Potter. I relate to her so well.

As to what baddie I would care to play, if only I could do the accent, well, I'll give you a clue...

"Oh yes, what was it you said to me before? Yippee-Ki-Ay..."

Cheers,
Chris

P.S. Added bonus for any potential voice-coach ... recall that this character gets thrown off a skyscraper. :lol:

What is necroposting?

I'd love to read Schmendrick the Magician from *The Last Unicorn,* though actually *being* him might be a mite too stressful....
Back from a low-internet no-Librivox year in Georgia. Glad to be with you again.

Necroposting is the resurrection of a long-dead thread. Myself, I see nothing wrong with it, but some frown upon it. (Why, I don't understand.)
