I'm going to start reading N!obE to my younger siblings, and I need distinct voices for the characters. I'll put the characters I need help with down below, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to share.
Podo; (I'm thinking I'll do a gruff sailor voice for him, but that could get tiring, so I'm open to suggestions.)
Nia;
Janner;
Kalmar;
Leeli;
Artham;
Green Fangs;
Grey Fangs;
Gammon;
The Florid Sword; (yes I'm listing them seperately, they have different voices)
Maraly;
Claxton;
Other Stranders;
Kimerans;
The Overseer;
Mobrik;
Sara;
Other Fork Factory kids;
Oskar;
Zouzab;
Trolls;
The Dragons;
The hags who sell Janner;
The Stone Keeper;
Random other ideas for minor characters
I'm pretty sure thats all the characters, and I dont mean that every single one of these needs to be unique, Zouzab and Mobrik, for example, would probably end up having the same voice. Also, don't worry about being too detailed, just an accent or a tone would be awesome. Thanks in advance!!!
HAVE SOME MUNCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a little late! But let me try and help!
Podo: Your Pod voice idea sounds perfect!
Nia: Elegance with an Irish accent ;)
Janner: I would say your best impression of a teenage boy? 🤣
Kalmar: Your best impression of a slightly younger boy? 😅
Leeli: A sweet, high pitched tone
Artham:....I would say....the best you could do at a deep Irish voice when sane, and a slightly higher pitched babbling when...Peet
Green Fangs: Slithery snake voice
Grey Fangs: Gruff voice
Gammon: A regular guy's voice.
The Florid Sword: Try Puss in Boots with a different accent 🤣
Maraly: Thickly Irish.
Claxton: Gammon with an Irish accent
Other Stranders: Just...rough sounding voices
Kimerans: Normal sounding voice
Overseer: Hissing voice, but a little clearer than the Grey fangs
Mobrik: High pitched...rasp? :p
Sara: Your voice?
F!F! Kids: Just...regular old kid's voices.
Oskar: Eccentric British
Zouzab: Same as Morbik, just a little deeper.
Trolls: Deep and dumb sounding. Trolls are dumb.
Dragons: Deep and Majestic!
Hags: Raspy.
Stone Keeper: Sickeningly sweet
And then...just play around with it! I hope this helps!
I’ll prolly get to the other ones later but I did the Fangs (and the Stonekeeper):
Grey Fangs: Growly, more calm if that makes sense. More intelligent.
Green Fangs: Hiss a lot, prolonged ‘S’s, less intelligent. Maybe mispronounce words on purpose to get the less intelligent vibe 😆
Kalmar (Fanged): Keep it as you would normal Kal, but more rough and growly.
Stonekeeper: this one should be an eerie, soothing voice.
Like I said I’ll probably come back and add more. But this is all I got so far. Sorry!
Done this already.
Not gonna go down the list. Try accents for some characters, but be smart. Ronchy could be Irish, but you shouldn’t make Kal British and Janner alstralian. (Someone halme spell that) green fangs, lean into the S.
I've listened to the audiobooks, so whenever I read it aloud my voices are influenced by Andrew Peterson's voices! 😂
Podo has a pirate voice
Nia sounds like a mom
Janner and Tink sound like brothers - yes, fang Kalmar has a gruffer, scratchier voice
Leeli sounds like a girl
Artham sounds much more noble and more sane than Peet
Green Fangs hiss a lot, Grey Fangs growl a lot
Gammon and the Florid Sword absolutely sound different! The Florid Sword sounds like an almost comical super hero, and Gammon sounds like a charismatic leader who can get anyone to do what he wants
Ridgerunners have slightly high, delicate sounding voices
Oskar sounds like Oskar in the show
The hags sound creepy
The Stonekeeper sounds creepy and alluring
The dragons have deep voices
The Stranders sound mean
The kids sound like kids
The trolls sound like... uh... trolls... like in the audiobooks!
Maraly sounds tough, confident, with a sweetness under an arrogant cover - if you can get that into her voice! 😂
Stonk Keeper and Zouzab I imagine as scratchy, but the Stone Keeper a little less so. Florid sword is Gammo with an accent (Zena says Irish accent)
(Zena also says that human Kalmar and Fang Kalmar should have different accents - with Fank Kal with a more growly voice)
(Zena says sorry for all those typos, but we both agreed they were funnier to keep in)
