It's That Time of Year Again!
6 years ago
Hello lovelies!
It is once again birthday month for the two of us mutts, but resources are not at all what I had hoped they'd be to make the year of "The Order of the Phoenix" as exciting as last year's festivities. I have some tricks up my sleeve, but I could really use someone who can do a decent angry old Englishman voice to record a line for a howler from Dumbledore in one of the early chapters of the book. I'll pay with art if you're interested! Any help you can offer is most appreciated. (Please don't be offended if I choose one person over another. I'm searching for a particular vocal quality.)

What exactly is it you're after, what manner of vocal tone, delivery, pitch etc?

I'm looking for a sort of breathy commanding back-of-the throat voice (think along the lines of Sir Ian McKellen's Gandalf). Given that Dumbledore is typically a calm and soft spoken person, I am seeing the line as him using anger and the force of his delivery to make a lasting point. The line is, "Remember my last, Petunia". It will be amplified and adjusted in post to give it a more magical quality, but pointed and intimidating is what I'm looking for.

If this is the punchline to a joke, and delivery is vital for the right context, which word(s), if any, should have the most emphasis?

I would say "my last" would carry most of the stress. That is the part of the line that carries the threat.
