Ba'al /Cliff Simon Thunk,Discussion and Appreciation
Is it just me, or is Ba'al one of the few go'auld characters whose voice is not "flanged" as much as some of the others? I think that Cliff has such a wonderful accent and powerful voice that he doesn't need the extra strengthening the "flange" effect supplies as much as some of the "lesser gods" with weaker vocal skills. What does everyone else think?
Hmmm. You know, Martin Wood said something about this during the 'Abyss'- Audio Commentary.
*gets DVD and looks it up*
Here goes:
"Cliff's voice works really well - with the flange - beacause, it's just thin enough. It gives you a lot of room to move in and so it makes him that much more powerful."
May I suggest you go and check for yourselves? There's a video on this site, entitled 'A little Christmas-Greeting from our stars from GCC 04'.
I haven't had a chance to read all the posts in this thread - what caught my eye was the great baal/sam pic and may I say, what an excellent idea for a "pairing" .... if anyone dares to take the challenge and write a baal/sam story for us .... I'd make it a double dare, if it would help get results

I also liked the bit about Ba'al's smile.

*wanders off grinning*
*sob sob sob* I can't open that site. Is this vid downloadable from anywhere else?
I also squeed in a very girlish way. I thought the audio commentary had way too much info about the revolving set and not enough about Ba'al.
I'm working on it. Will send you the link shortly. Should anybody else get this error, just drop me a line
Have received, have watched. He's so nice! And sexy! And luffly! Many grateful and grovelling thanks. And just like Ba'al, I (also) want that coat he's wearing...

Oh, I KNOW! It was an interesting (and pretty) set and I realize all that stuff must have been very important to them, but...but.. BA'AL! I mean, he's torturing Jack and they talk about camera angles. ...Priorities, people!
