There's hardly a time I play any of these games when I don't attempt to give all the characters voices. Naturally, my success with the female voices is much more limited. Describing them will be a challenge, but I'll give it a try.

:phoenix: Normal reading voice, which would translate into basically mid-baritone, Midwest accent (or lack thereof, depending on who you ask).
:edgeworth: Low, breathy, almost raspy baritone with strong, clear consonants--especially sibilants ("s" for example).
:maya: Peppy, almost squeaky soprano with just a slight rasp.
:mia: Low, relaxed alto.
:butzthumbs: Semi-squeaky, melodramatic high tenor.
:gumshoe: Low tenor with a Brooklyn accent.
:udgy: Throaty, ponderous baritone--it might be likened to swallowing your own Adam's apple.
:payne: Flat, raspy low tenor--sticks in the back of the throat.
:sawit: Middle tenor, slightly tense Indian accent.
:grossburg: Ponderous baritone similar to the judge, but with less throat--mostly right behind the teeth.
:april: When she's playing to peanut gallery: airy, cotton candy low soprano. When she's angry: loud, gritty low soprano.
:redd: Pretentious, smarmy, throaty low tenor--think upper-class pimp or drug dealer.
:bellboy: Low baritone with a slight French accent.
:will: Apologetic, almost paternal high baritone.
:oldbag: Throaty low alto with a slight quiver.
:cody-talk: Raspy, semi-petulant low soprano.
:sal: Very low baritone with a slight lisp and a tendency to smEar the vowels.
:devasque: Low, understated, slightly raspy alto with Spanish accent, yes?
:lotta: Middle alto with a strong Southern twang.
:yogi: When he's playing dumb: Senile, strongly paternal mid-baritone--imagine an easygoing Abraham Simpson. When he's confessing: Saturnine low baritone.
:karma: Low, raspy baritone with a strong Prussian accent--think Berlin. Imagine Till Lindemann in a detached, sardonic mood and you'll be pretty close.
:scientific: Pretty similar to Maya; basically the same except a little lower with no rasp.
:lana: Early on: Low, brusque, clipped alto. After the case: Low, warm, flowing alto.
:jake: Low tenor with a lazy drawl and moderate Texas twang.
:two-faced: Airy middle alto with a slight buzz.
:meekins: Throaty high tenor--kind of like Loud Howard in Dilbert.
:gant-clap: Syrupy middle tenor with a slight drawl most of the time. When he thinks he has an ace up his sleeve, I give him a breathy half-growl.

It's getting late, so I'll stop here for now.

:edgeworth: - I have a deep voice so somehow, he gets my natural voice
:phoenix: - Slightly contrasting to Edgey, I always speak in a lighter tone when reading his lines
:godot: - I speak in a tone slightly deeper than my natural voice when I play him
:adrian: - Somehow, I feel that Adrian has a tad deep voice so I just speak in my girl voice
:larry: - Whenever I read him, I always use my excited voice
:garyuu: - The same way as I speak with :godot:
:odoroki: - Deeper than Larry, lighter than Phoenix

:phoenix: : Like many people, I feel as though main character = standard reading voice
:edgeworth: : British accent. (sigh)
:udgy: : You know, the stereotypical "back in my day" voice.
:maya: : Like the other unicorns in Charlie the Unicorn. (It's Travolta3335's fault!)
:pearl: / :karma: : Basically, the voice you would expect Pearl to have is von Karma's, and vice versa.
:franny: : Female Edgey.
:godot: : Like his Objection.
:payne: : Like his Objection. It's the best thing ever.
:eh?: : Since one of the first things he said was "WHAAAAAAAAAT?", his voice is completely overdramatic.

After playing some Tales of Symphonia I started to hear Phoenix Wright characters' voices as ToS voices.

So :phoenix: = an older Lloyd
:edgeworth: = Kratos
:maya: = Colette

And possibly others.

:phoenix: He's just his "OBJECTION!" voice, except he's sort of speaking normally, not yelling.
:maya: I sort of picture Maya with a fangirl voice, except it's less high.
:edgeworth: Edgey get's this British accent (le sigh) that's from Oxford, and he sounds EXTREMELY snobby.
:franny: She has a German accent, that isn't too thick, but it isn't too light. Her voice is also sort of a soprano.
:mia: I sort of picture Mia with this calm voice, that's significantly lower than Maya's.
:pearl: She has this high, flutey soprano voice that sounds adult yet childlike at the same time.
:eh?: Gumshoe has a Brooklyn accent that really isn't that heavy, but the way he talks is slightly overdramatic.
:larry: I see Larry with this "duuuude" voice, like how most people see Matt, except higher.
:odoroki: Apollo's voice is actually the same as his "OBJECTION!" voice.
:minuki: Trucy's voice is a soprano, with a certain amount of ditziness to it.
:kyouya: I seriously picture Klavier's voice as Light's from the Death Note anime English dub, with a slight German accent added to it.
:garyuu: He sort of as this intelligent voice, with a slight hint of "I'm-better-than-you" mixed in.
:ema: She sort of sounds normal, but she has a geeky twang in there.
:adrian: I see Adrian as having a British accent, that sort of sounds like she's from Oxford in JFA, but in T&T it sort of slips away, and she gets an accent from Essex (similar to my own, seeing as I'm from Essex)
:chinami: / :ayame: I picture these two with soft southern belle voices.
:godot: A sexy, silky, smooth-talking latino voice. Oh yes.

:godot: - Despite what many believe, I don't think his voice is super deep. Kind of hard to explain how I hear his voice.
:wellington: - Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club.
:two-faced: - Irish. Why? Four words. Boot. To. The. Head.
:adrian: - SEXY AND BRITISH
:study: - Loud, know-it-all, over the top.
:adrian-crunch: - ...STILL SEXY AND BRITISH
:udgy: - Deep and elderly
:edgeworth: - ...Guess.

:edgeworth: Exactly like his "Objection, Hold It and Take That!" voices
:franny: Took me a while to figure it out, but I kind of read her like Dorthy from the Wizard of Oz with a german accident.
:godot: ever since he said "amigo" in one of his lines, I read him with a cowboy accent.
:maggy: like Sandy from Spongebob Squarepants.
:payne: like the more stuck-up lawyer from the Simpsons.
:acro: kind-of like a native-american just starting to learn english.
:mareka: Kind of like a friend of mine from high school. I have no idea why :eh?:

Post subject:  Re: Reading Character 'voices'

I always like to read the characters' voices out. I tend to give a lot of characters English accents because that's where I'm from. I like voicing the characters with hard accents like Lotta Hart and Furio Tigre, because I end up making them sound funnier! Unfortunately, my vocal range for female voices is limited, so a lot of them sound alike - the same serious-sounding voice has to be used for both Morgan Fey and Adrian Andrews!

It's fun to see how close I get to their "Objection!" before I actually hear how they say it. I was very close with Phoenix and Edgeworth, okay with Godot and Franziska, but nowhere near with Manfred von Karma, Mia, or Payne. (I gave Payne a nerdy voice, like an older version of Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.)

Okay so let's see:

:edgeworth: -In a very calm, British voice. Slightly deeper than my normal voice.
:udgy: -I honestly don't know what he sounds like. My voice for him is always changing.
:larry: -A slightly deep Brooklyn accent.
:maya: -A higher more cheerful voice.
:redd: -A deep, rich person voice.
:eh?: -A slightly deep New York accent
:yogi: -Like a drunken hill-billy. When he's his real self, he retains the southern accent, except he sounds much deeper and more growly.
:karma: -My best Hugo Strange impression. Kind of like this.
:odoroki: -A little higher than my normal voice and with a Canadian accent. Don't ask why, for some reason I can picture Apollo with a Canadian accent.
:godot: -A very deep voice and with a slight Spanish accent.
:psycho-matt: -Like Wolverine for some reason. I even use "bub" during his dialogue.
:hobohodo: -Like my Phoenix voice only lower and more rough.
:gant: -Very deep and British. Try to make him sound friendly yet somewhat creepy at the same time.

:phoenix: - In my normal voice, perhaps slightly deeper.
:maya: - In a high pitched, typical up-beat anime girl style.
:edgeworth: - Deeper than Phoenix's, but still my accent.
:pearl: - A very soft voice.
:franny: - My voice, but louder and more aggressive.
:karma: - Again, similar to my voice, but deeper.
:godot: - A relaxed voice that makes you think he can't be bothered.
:damon: - A deep, sexy voice Quite a high pitched, grumpy voice.

I can't remember any others and the more minor characters usually just end up with my voice.

I think it's because of his "Objection" "Hold it!" and "Take that!" voice clips that make him sound British in game.

Apples and pears...! Fanny...! God save the queen and all that palaver...! :redd:

Nah, bloody really isn't that british to me anymore.
It's like if I call a girl a bitch - it's like a greeting now, no actual cursing involved and it doesn't have a national "stamp" anymore.

:pearl: - Either a high pitched voice if she's in a good mood or a dark, emotionless voice when she's down (like when she's explaining the Magatama)
:edgeworth: - Kind of like Kratos (Tales of Symphonia) with "heh" as a sound effect before speaking
:maya: - Read very fast and hyperactive and don't care if I stumble over words
:franny: - Similar to Edgeworth, only with "Hmpf" instead
:chinami: - If you've seen "Nin10doh 64th Power" and their sketch of Earthbound, just think Paula

I always picture him speaking with more of a "blueblood" accent. Not so much British, but very refined and somewhat snobbish.

I'm not very good at picking out accents. Some of the few I've though of.

:jake: - A definite stereotypical Texan accent.

:sadshoe: - For some reason I always picture him with a thick New York accent, even though he doesn't use typical New York words.

:keiko: - GlaDoS. Nuff said.

:udgy: - Very deep and dignified.

:godot: - Not really Mexican, but a bit of a gruff, hispanic tone to it.

To me, Kristoph will always be Jade Curtiss from Tales of the Abyss. Even his "Objection!" clip sort of matches up.

And from the moment I first laid eyes on Wellington, I gave him the most over-the-top flamboyant lisp I could muster. But that seems to have already been covered.

I tried watching it, but it just felt so annoying to me to listen to them just... reading the text. You know, they need to emote. Then again, I'm a person who generally doesn't like people reading the text on the screen at times - I'm a pretty fast reader and most of the videos I've watched, people put either too little or too much emotion into it.
And I mean that when they are not making fun of it.
