In reply to: Jane 's message, "Do you think the voice of Jamie is all wrong? Sorta flat and lifeless? I thought Jeff Woodman gave Robbie MacNab's voice more animation than Jamie's. Don't get me wrong I think he is a great story teller and John and Hal sound just like I imagined..but Jamie not so much. Davina's is actually better or maybe it is just that I am more familiar with it." on 18:50:39 09/22/07 Sat

I wouldn't say you shouldn't buy it or listen to it because my opinion of Woodman's interpretation of Jamie. I think you will enjoy it very much just as it is. I am just hoping before they do LJASP that someone talks to him about making Jamie's voice a little more animated. I assume if they are doing a recording of THOTD it will already be done since it is due out in November. I am sure I will buy that recording too (or at least ask for it for Christmas if I can wait that long). (NT) -- Jane, 20:39:15 09/23/07 Sun
- I haven't actually listened the Woodman's version but perhaps he is trying to reflect Jamie's state of mind while at Helwater? (NT) -- Lady Orelia, 23:57:24 09/23/07 Sun
  - Woodman is an excellent voice actor. He was able to nail different emotions and voices in other characters dead on..even Olivia and Benedicta and other women their voices distinct from each other with wonderful range of emotions. The other scot's, Rob MacNab and the two soldiers who helped John after he was attacked had distinct voices, accents and range...only Jamie's voice seemed flat even when he killed the rabbit and was supposed to be very annoyed with John..perhaps that is how Woodman tried to show Jamie trying to keep himself under tight control, but it was disconcerting for me to hear Jamie so flat. I guess you'll have to have a listen yourself, I might not be the best judge. (NT) -- Jane, 06:37:39 09/24/07 Mon
