...my way:
'Goodness [or even] the idea of Goodness, in reality, is a whole system of ideas and feelings It is this system that I maintain, perfectly uniform, perceived simultaneously in its entirety #wholeness - maintaining it without words, without images, in an antidiscursive conception, as a unique, simple entity. Maintaining it - to then, and finally, withdraw again to the world of words, to return ultimately (but retempered, made more conscious, remade, so to speak) to ordinary life'

I must ask the mod:
Do you have voice headcanons and/or claims for your characters?
Alright! This one's gonna be a doozy for ya girl here because it seems like in any AU I put my main OCs in, I have to really make sure that their voices suit how they sound in my head as well as their mannerisms and what languages they use (the language I try to do my best with, but it mainly comes down to the sound of the voice more than anything).  In this case, I think only Feng and Tamara get their usual Voice-Claims which will be listed in this post because they ALWAYS sound a certain way to me that I can never seem to let go of.
Unfortunately, because of my dumb ass messing up the format of this post, I’ll have to put links to video clips or even audio clips instead ^^;; Sorry, everyone!
I’m gonna put the rest of the stuff under the cut because... Oooooh, it’s a bit of a mess. I’m so sorry!
--
Kyung's Voice-Claim: CoCo Lee
English Speaking: (X)
Cantonese (I’m pretty sure it is, I think...) Speaking: (X)
Fun fact: Originally, I was going to go with Kelly Chen, mainly for her singing voice in her rendition of “Reflection” from Mulan due to it sounding more like how I would imagine Kyung’s singing voice would be like in this AU, but I’m glad I did some more digging!  I love CoCo Lee’s energy, her laugh and how she can sound a little more silly at times!
--
Shinju’s Voice-Claim: Maggie Cheung
English Speaking: (X)
Cantonese Speaking: (X)
Fun fact: I’m quite happy that I dug more for this one rather than just going with Lucy Liu like I had originally planned.  Her regular speaking voice is honestly perfect when I imagine how Shinju speaks in this AU!
--
Feng’s Voice-Claim: Kevin Michael Richardson
(Primarily his role as Captain Gantu from Lilo & Stitch)
Gantu clips: (X)
Fun fact: I genuinely tried to find a proper Cantonese actor that sounded close enough, but goddamnit- It’s hard finding voices with that distinct gravelly baritone I always imagine Feng talking in.
--
Tamara’s Voice-Claim: Angela Bassett
Audio Sample Compilation (it’s the same VC as she has in the Oddworld!AU and in the “Mainverse”): (X)
Singing Sample: (X)
Same Voice-Claim for the most part, except I’m deciding Tamara won’t need a designated singing VC like her other AU counterparts.
--
Luka’s Voice-Claim: Michael Fassbender
English and German Sample: (X)
French Speaking Sample: (X)
UUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH- This one gave me a lot of hell.  So, as much as Luka is fluent in Cantonese in this AU, he’s a primarily English speaker with his native language being German, his secondary being French, and him being able to do decent Spanish.  I was also VERY picky about how the voices sounded because Luka, in my mind, sounds a little more higher-pitched and gentle in a way.  
Fun fact: I was originally going to go with Timothée Chalamet because his English and French give me more Luka vibes, but I think it’s mainly because of how much of a hilarious dork the dude is.
--
Lee’s Voice-Claim: Harry Shum Jr. (Speaking), Li Yugang (Opera/Singing)
English and Cantonese Sample: (X)
Opera/Singing (Decided to go with this vid since he sings both is his regular male voice, and the one he uses for his Dan roles): (X)
Li Yugang also played as Consort Yu in his performance of Farewell My Concubine here: (X) Li Yugang appears at the 2:28 mark.
I think the only problem I ran into was getting super specific on trying to find Cantonese Opera actors who performed Dan roles, which seemed to leave me with nothing, or just circling around back to Peking Opera or general Chinese Opera as a whole. QQ
Fun Fact: I was originally going to just go with the usual VC I have for him (Aurelio Voltaire), but because of the setting the AU takes please (it being more historical) and given his career as a Chinese Opera performer, I had to really dig for this one.  I would have gone with the famous Mei Lanfang, but it was even more difficult to find good samples for my notes.  That being said, I at least found a pretty good clip of Mei Lanfang both singing and speaking in a Dan role: (X)

ms wang was so cool. it didn't feel like it bc to us she was just our professor but she's like a renowned person in the theatre world in china. wrote basically the only book i can find about mei lanfang. in french anyway. funniest thing she ever did was tell us to buy the book without telling us she wrote it & i had to find that out by reading it

Hello Mini Musez! My Peking Opera - Mei Lanfang Portrait is going on exhibition from Dec 9th until December 23rd at the Core Art Space in Denver. Juror Susan Froyd selected the pieces for this unique show which features art inspired by comics, anime, tattoos, graffiti, and the unusual. Any art gallery or show that exhibits fanart should be supported by us all. Fan artist still struggle to sell & get fanart mainstream so I am hoping you all can help. Especially since many of my amazing followers are incredible non traditional artists so you know first hand how difficult it is to get accepted. So please check out @coreartspace and consider liking & following them to show your support. If you are in the area then hopefully I will see you at the artist reception Friday, December 9th from 6pm to 9 pm. Core Art Space 6501 Colfax Ave Lakewood CO 80214 Best Blessings to all of my beautiful & talented followers!
