When you read posts in the RP, do you hear it in a voice? Or do you just read it? I've had the pleasure of RPing with quite a few people on the forums, and since I have talked to oh so few over Skype, I have been able to build opinions on how a character would sound completely devoid of the voice of the RPer.
I'm curious if other people do the same, and if there are any "notable" voices for characters you can point to?
There are a few for me.
Thrakhath
In my head, Thrakhath sounds tough. Gravelly voice, Maybe a little Clint Eastwood-ish.
Haruka | Tenshi
As family, for some reason i always heard them in the same voice. A strong female voice, probably akin to Angelina Jolie (Gi60S era) voice.
Mai
For some reason I think of Mai's voice sounding like Kari Byron from Mythbusters.
Senshi
Definitely Tom Cruise (a few good men) for sure. I don't know why, but that's the voice I hear his dialogue in.
I'd love to hear what other people have to think about this.

I tend to do this as well, here are some of the notable that come to mind.
Shoju
In The Dresden Files when narrated by James Marsters there is a character voice he uses for a character named Nicodemus Archleone. This is kind of obscure, but if you get the chance take the time to read these novels or listen the audio books by James Marsters and you will not be disappointed.
Utaku Mai
I hear Eowyn from the lord of the rings films. I think drew the parallels simply on the whole Battle Maiden female warrior thing.
Daigotsu Thrakhath
To me Thrak should sound like the Master Chief from Halo. He should have kind of a haunting authoritarian voice.
Kakita Mitsouko
Kiera Knightley from either The Dutchess or King Arthur when she is being more kickass.
Raposa
No matter what will always be Fluttershy, the image has been in her signature for a while so I can not avoid hearing that voice.
Akodo Tsanuri
With Tsanuri, I hear Starbuck's voice as played by Katee Sackhoff from the Battlestar Galactica.

Senshi just wants everyone to know, he really wants everyone to hear Brandon Keener whenever you see his dailogue XD
That is all. I do approve of my voice actor X3

It is hard for me to remember the waiter's voice from Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but I will do my best! For Senshi!

Ok, let's see here...
Thrakhath - I always hear his voice kind of like Khal Drogo from AGoT
Shoju - This one was a little harder, but to me his voice has sounded kind of like Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul. Couldn't tell you why
Mai -Gotta agree with the Eowyn comparison
Saiko and Sojiro - I'll get back to you when they stop sounding like me and Brett lol
I'll get more of this done later when I have some more time to contemplate

I like that! Saiko makes me think of Mark Hamil's Joker... but that might be more personality influenced right now, than voice influence.
Sojiro... I hear Sojiro in a Brad Pitt... Louis IWtV type voice.

This is really funny. I like all these choices!
I wanted to do voice acting for a while and studied it for a bit so I actually come up with my own unique voices for everyone in my head based off what I know about the character.
Except Quarim. Quarim is based around Oded Fahr.

I kind of pegged Shoju as Andrew Ryan from Bioshock.

Hope noone is offended, but these are what play in my head:
Shoju - Ben Browder (John Crichton in Farscape)
Thrakhath - Jeremy Irons (particularly as Bishop Pucci in Cassanova) though his Tamori Kazushige character is more like Brian Blessed
Sojiro - Heath Ledger (William in A Knight's Tale)
Saiko - Christian Bale (John Preston in Equilibrium)
Mai - Claudia Christian (Susan Ivanova in Babylon 5)
Mitsouko - Salma Hayek (Rita Escobar in Wild Wild West and Carolina in Once Upon a Time in Mexico)
Daidoji Fitsu - Russell Crowe (Jack Aubrey in Master and Commander)
Keisuke - His previous avatar said it all. Ken Watanabe.
Zeure (as Kakita Battou) - Antonio Banderas (Zorro)
Haruka - Framke Jansen (Jean Grey in X-men, though the actress did also play Xenia Onatopp in Goldeneye)
Senshi - Brendan Fraser (Rick O'Connell in The Mummy)
Hida Joji - Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf in The 13th Warrior and Ulfric Stormcloak in Skyrim)
Alesha - Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber in Die Hard and the Sheriff of Nottigham in Robin Hood Price of Thieves)

How about my character? I know what I'm hoping to portray, but I'd like to hear other people's opinions.

Something like that (my google-fu was weak, and I couldn't find a clip). To be fair, your profile pic sort of lends itself to the comparison.  |

I heartily endorse Battou as either one, though obviously Antonio Banderas is more known to me and thus more recognizable. As far as I know, Gaspar has been in very few 'hit' movies.
Interesting to me that no one has placed Yun yet. Though, admittedly, he is sorta like that. Whatever you want him to be, whatever you need him to be...
Oh, also, I'm one of those boring people who just read. If I had a voice to place, I might, but I don't conjure one myself.
