			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks for the advice, guys. I will put the voice of God in my film, I don't think I can do this film without him. I think that for this particular passage from Bible, God will have to have quite a loud voice, even if he usually speaks to us softly, like 'If I Were A Minifig' said. I will now close the discussion!

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I love the film 'The Prince Of Egypt.' I think that a soft yet powerful voice is a much greater challenge than to have a loud voice. When you think of most Biblical films, they tend to go for the soft voice. It is much harder to do that, but if done properly, it does make it seem that much more spiritual. About auditioning for voices; I've got a bit of a deadline. I didn't want to give too much away about my film because this is going to be my Darkness And Light entry. So, as you know, I've only got a couple of weeks left.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The voice of God can be strong, but also very soft...  in Charles Ives' classical composition, "The Unanswere3d Question," the voices representing eternal beings are very soft and omni-present throughout the piece.  In the greatest animated movie of all time, "The Prince of Egypt", God comes to Moses in Moses' own voice.  There is power in softness, as something undeterred and eternal.

A strong voice can also be used, but men who do the voice may sound bellowing and therefore cheesy, expecially if a lot of cavernous echo is used.

Try various voices and ask for auditions from several; try them all and see what you like.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Put up a casting call, say what [i]you[/i] think God might sound like as some loose guidelines, but see how other people interpret it. You may get a version back that surprises you; that's large and booming but somehow unique, something you might not have thought of before.

I normally find this kind of thing helps in this kind of situation. Kind of.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I agree with Sloth Paladin. People will expect a large voice, even if He usually really speaks in to us in a whisper. The only other alternative would be: Having someone with a deep resonant voice speak tenderly. This would still be difficult, but I think it could work.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I suppose you're right. God's voice must be a strong voice, and it would be hard to make a small voice sound that way. It's not the easiest voice to do.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[How will people perceive it in the context of your film, people will probably expect the 'voice of god' to have presence and getting a 'still, small voice' with the presence you need would require some really top notch acting. It might be easier to find someone with a bigger deep voice to get something people would expect.

on a side note I once played the voice of god in a school play, I wish I had a recording of it to see how I sounded back then, I'm pretty sure I was going through a stage in puberty where my voice wasn't cracking but I doubt it sounds like it does now.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I don't want to give away too much, but I am currently working on the script for a brickfilm, which is based on a passage from the Bible. In this passage, the voice of God can be heard from above. I am not sure wheather I can voice God, because I think that it'll be hard to do his voice without making him sound like something from some parody. If I was to voice him, I would probably give him whispery voice, like the hymn 'Dear Lord And Father Of Mankind' suggests:

'Oh still, small voice of calm.'

Please comment. Do you think I should use the voice of God?]]></content>
