The Color of Your Voice

[choof]

As a few people already know, I experience something called synesthesia, specifically chromesthesia, where I see color when I hear sound. It's pretty neat to talk about when it comes to music, but I had an idea recently. Music is cool, but what about voices?

I did this thread on Gaia (fucking lol), and it got over a hundred responses. The bad thing about Gaia, aside from obvious, is that it moves way too fast so I can't really go in depth.

On FFR though, I'm able to do so!

Post a vocaroo of you saying whatever you want, I'll listen to it and describe as best as possible what color I experience. Please make your recordings at least 10 seconds long.

K go!

I would totally do this, but I have literally no idea what to say. Go me.

really the only thing I can say about this is "imagine the michelin man with chocolate marshmallows in his mouth"

a muddled, bubbling brown, like a bubbling swamp.

static

a deep rumbling purple, the words that end in "s" sounds cut a bit into the color with a lighter purple. that affects the visuals stronger than the constant static, maybe because it's more strongly affected by the static itself. the lower bits get dangerously close to shadowy levels of purple, the threshold between dark purple/blue and black

Purple/dark variants of blue are my favourite colours so \o/

the issue with vocaroo is that I'm not able to put things on repeat unless I download the files

try again with something longer than 10 seconds

orange-ish red, there's not much of an accent imo but "dis" and "deeference" dip more into a cool orange

a pensive light brown, I would say leather but only the color, not the texture. maybe an expensive coffee with some high-end creamer but you accidentally put too much almond extract, there's smoothness in your voice but there's also an inherent roughness
