If you had to pick voice actors for the Runewriters cast, who do you think you might want?

Like, do they have different accents? Does Jonan just sound like Frollo?

Oh man, I'm no good at picking voice actors MOSTLY B/C I DON'T KNOW MANY but as far as voices:

I imagine Sev's speaking style being very close to Michael Swaim from Cracked.com's After Hours show, though obv it'd be preferable to get someone closer to Sev's ethnicity just to avoid white-guy-plays-person-of-colour. I don't imagine him with an accent.

The voice I imagine for Tareth is actually REALLY close to Deanne Bray (she was in Heroes I think & was also the main character in Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye), though I feel like she'd have a stronger deaf accent.

Everyone wants Jonan to be Tony Jay or Alan Rickman, and that's fine, but my headcanon voice for him is high-pitched; more of a sneering vizier than a commanding dark lord. Jafar-when-excited kinda works, though Annas from the original Jesus Christ Superstar movie (the second-in-command pharisee that sings soprano) is absolutely how I'd cast a singing voice for him.

I haven't picked an example voice for Xira actually; he just needs to sound like a teenager with a soft voice. I don't picture him with an accent but I'd be a-OK with him getting cast with one.

Quentin is from the Ayton Islands and Esra's of mixed descent from the same, so since Ayton is basically England I usually picture them with British-English accents. I could probably come up with a bunch of reasons why this doesn't actually make sense (The main characters are speaking Varænski, not English) but I'm not gonna think too hard about that right now. xD
