Vader voice discussion

Ok, go here:

http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/6380/

Pull up your ROTS trailer, and forward it to :59 seconds. Play the "yes master" audio over and over so that you've got it in your head. Then go to the website above (it's a Darth Vader soundboard) and click on the "Yes my Master" soundclip on the page and listen carefully to it.

I just don't think they sound quite the same. What do you guys think?

corn

your right, they dont

they dont, but it could be down to the fact that jones is getting older, maybe his voice has shifted a little.

ITs bad enough Lucas didn't get someone big enough to wear the Vader costume, now he'll have a different voice? Please, George, just do it the right way and then leave Star Wars alone......

You know, I'm glad you said that. In a way, I have to agree with you.

JEJ WILL DO AND IS THE VOICE FOR DARTH VADER!

OK, SO HOW CAN YOU BE SURE HE DID IT FOR THIS EARLY TEASER TRAILER?

AND BY THE WAY, DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS.

CORNLOUDIOUS

How can you be sure that he didnt? it could be from a previous recording and then they just emphasized the "r".

i think its hayden speaking you can see its not james voice at the end of the "master" word

i still think its JEJ trying to sound like Anakin - the voice manip is too close to JEJ to be a manip, oplus if they wanted they could have had Hayden say masta all OT styyle - i think its JEJ and they did it on purpose

I still go with my gut, that the line is read that way from whoever said it because Vader is disoriented. If you listen to the soundboard and compare it to the trailer, they do have the same emphasis, but the tone is changed. The trailer's sounds as if he's dead tired, and I think that's because Anakin was a fraction away from death and now he's saying his first lines with a new body while waking up out of a coma and all that.

Why, in the name of all things that are Holy, would they do that?

Take an old recording, and emphasize the "r"? Why? Why? Why?

My thoughts exactly.

corn are you kidding me? why would they do ANYTHING OTHER than have JEJ do it? he's even in the cast on THIS site. Doing something to vader that is completly different that would piss off fans is not something that GL would do. Why would he take the chance of ruining the most anticipated and potentially best Sw film ever? trust...its JEJ, as it will be at all other times in the movie.

Remember, ANH takes place twenty years later.

Anakin has an American/Canadian accent. Just because he falls in lava doesn't mean that he will suddenly speak with a British accent. If he eventually does, it is only because he is surrounded by British Imperial officers for 20 years and probably pics it up.

Assuming that it is JEJ speaking, he sounds exactly as he should. I also agree that he may sound a little exasperated because he just fell in lava and almost died and awoke half man half machine. What do you think?

i think the voice is perfect sounds more anakinish 😮‍💨

just play the "The Force is withhim" sound file from that page, sounds exactly like the vader in the ep3 trailer. Vader´s voice sounds different during the movie as wel, i think its ok

Alright, I think I know what it is about Vader's voice in the teaser that's bugging me so much.

In the OT, James Earl Jones spoke with a British accent when doing Vader's voice. In the teaser, Vader speaks with a purely American accent (no accent at all). My guess is that it isn't Jones voice at all, but rather Hayden's voice digitally manipulated to sound like Vader. Or maybe it's some unknown guys voice. I don't think this is the final audio cut that will be in the film. At least I hope it isn't. It just doesn't sound like the Vader we all know and love.

Sounds pretty british to me.

"Yes, Mohster."

The only real difference I'm hearing between that one and the one on Milkandcookies.com is that the one there is sorta...tinny, like much of the OT sounds, also, Vaders "r" sound is different. I still think it's Jones.

maybe lucas to told jones to emphasize the r, maybe its that simple.

thats what i said before,....and then he just picks up the accent from being around Palps for so long.
