The CW — © 2019 The CW Network, LLC

It has been a year since CW released the pilot of the divisive new TV series Charmed; divisive because it is a reboot of a beloved show from the late 90s and early 2000s that many people still love to re-watch today. While a new version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is also in the making, the viewers are sceptical – and maybe rightly so – that a revisitation of…

What Would Undyne Sound Like? (Part 1)

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4

Introduction

I once watched a particular video of Undyne speaking on YouTube. The video's terrible Undyne voice was so repulsively ill-matching to my impression of what Undyne would sound like that I immediately stopped listening and got away from it. Then I realized: what made me so sure the terrible Undyne voice was any less valid than the other, varied Undyne voices I listened to?

Strictly speaking, Undyne's "canon" voice is just voice grunting sound effects. As her voice grunts are among the deepest in the game, TVTropes claims it's an example of a Contralto of Danger.1 Yet, some of the Undyne voices I've heard aren't deep, “creaky” (for lack of a better word) contralto-like ones, but more typically feminine ones, and I still like them.

Vampires and "Fang Thpeak"

Realistically, Undyne might sound like a vampire. Vampires and other fanged supernatural creatures are frequently depicted as having a sort of speech impediment where spoken sibilants (“s”, soft “c”s, and occasionally z) become th’s or sh’s.3

The technical explanation for this is that prosthetic teeth actors wear to depict vampires forces a change in the position of the tongue. Sibilants are more likely to be mispronounced as interdentals (the two "th" sounds, more below) when the incisors are altered or missing, as with fake buck teeth. With prosthetic fangs, it's more common for sibilants to become "sh" sounds, caused by the tongue being forced back by wider, longer canines.

The character The Master from season one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is an example of this; when he says "Nice dress" he pronounces it "Nishe dresh", not "Nithe dreth". It is, however, possible for “vampires” (actors portraying vampires with prosthetic teeth) to work over their fang-induced speech impediments: the actor Juliette Landau, prior to taking up the role of Drusilla in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, wore her prosthetic fangs for an extended period specifically to learn how to speak properly with them.4

However, Undyne has (presumably) natural fangs. Their dimensions may be different from prosthetic fangs. In width and thickness, they may even be more like upper dentures than prosthetic fangs. If so, Fang Thpeak could still happen, but to a lesser degree. Still, as Undyne surely always had fangs, it's likely that she's had years to speak through them.

Likening her teeth to prosthetic vampire fangs isn’t a perfect comparison, though: vampire teeth are only over the incisors. For Undyne, the position of her fangs correspond with both the incisors and lateral incisors, if not her entire mouth, and her incisors are tilted strongly to the viewer's left.

Here’s an example of dialogue Undyne might mispronounce:

“That's where I met Alphys for the first time!! I was looking for cool swords, when I saw her... Uh, standing there, staring into the abyss. She looked pretty... Um... ... contemplative.”

(Assume “Alphys” is pronounced “AL-fiss”, like “physical”, not “AL-feez” like “fees”)

“That’sh where I met Alfish for the firsht time!! I wash looking for cool shords when I shaw her...uh, shtanding there, shtaring into the abyssh. She looked pretty...um..contemplative.”

Sample: Female Commander Shepard (voiced by Jennifer Hale) in the Mass Effect video game series. (Warning: She uses profanity.) Jasper from Steven Universe is also an example; in fact her voice is so masculine that when first seeing her I had trouble with the correct pronoun to use. ↩︎

Papyrus can talk despite being just a skeleton, and some characters can talk despite lacking even mouths. This would suggest they can produce speech from very unusual means; “they talk through magic” would be plausible here. But then what would there be to talk about? ↩︎

The explanation for this comes from the TVTropes page "Fang Thpeak", hence the name. ↩︎

As it takes a while to learn how to speak properly with fangs, it's possible Undyne had the fish monster equivalent of a childish lisp as a child, and didn't know how to pronounce certain consonants well yet. ↩︎

Bow: I personally don't think it's possible to come up with a crazier plan.
