Anyone notice how Rumpel’s voice changes the more evil he becomes. He had his normal voice in desperate souls then in the return when he said “even mutes can draw a picture” it went into the voice that Rumpel had from the beginning of the series. When Belle kissed him, it briefly went back to his normal voice and generally when he was around Belle his voice wasn’t as sing songy as it was normally. Anyone agree? Could the loss of both Bae and Belle have pushed Rumpel over the edge?
Yes, I noticed that too. The more the power of the Dark One begins to take hold, the higher his voice becomes. Even Zoso (after Rumpel stabbed him) had a high-pitched voice. He giggled in a similar manner as Rumpel does.
