The Seer’s voice

[Phee]

My opinion on this is coloured by overly enthusiastically indulging in crackpot speculation over the last few days, so I’m throwing it out there for other opinions. 😆

In the Seer’s first scene in particular, did her voice sound Blue-ish to anyone else? I swear, the first time she spoke, I almost fell out of my chair, because it sounded so much like Keegan to me.

It’s reminding me of the scene in the movie for The Two Towers, when Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli meet Gandalf the White for the first time and before they see his face, they layered Ian McKellan’s voice with Christopher Lee’s, so it sounded like both Gandalf and Saruman at once. I’ve never seen the kid who played the Seer in anything else, so dunno what her usual voice sounds like, but she sounds kinda like Keegan’s Blue voice to me.

Then there’s the fact that later on she’d magically vanished from the cage. How does a blind girl being held prisoner out in the open manage that?

Anyway, does anyone else hear it, or am I just imagining things? 😆

It sounds somewhat like the Blue Fairy, but think that is because of the sound effect they added to the voice, a kind of muted echo. It is not the Blue Fairy’s voice, the young seers voice has a higher pitch. They added the sound effect to the voice of the older seer too, but her voice has a lower pitch (women have voice mutation as well).

And the seer is not blind, I would say, just having her eyes in a different place. Out of whatever reason. But even if she is blind in the physical sense she might be good in finding her ways with the senses left to her, it can be quite impressive how one can do that just using hearing and tactile sense (I’ve worked with blind kids). Might seem magical, but as a seer, and one knowing how to sort out the puzzle already well it seems, she might have known when she could escape.

And you know I’m bound to charm away what ever you find to nourish doubts about the Blue Fairy’s honesty 😉

You never know with this show or these writers. I agree the little girl’s voice sounded a lot more digitally augmented than the older seer’s voice did, but I don’t know if it sounded like Keegan’s voice or not. Maybe they blended the little girl’s voice with the older actresses to reveal the future and the present simultaneously. However, if the BF did disguise herself as the seer, then it’d be really a great ploy. I didn’t know they had digitally edited the White Wizard’s voice in LOTR. That’s a really cool piece of movie trivia.

Yeah, I didn’t hear it as much with the older Seer. The way the younger one said “Rumplestiltskin” in particular though, it just sounded so much like how we’ve heard Blue say his name, that I can’t shake the idea, dammit.

True, she could have “known” when there’d be less people around. If she’s physically blind, she’s gonna be fumbling and stumbling around a bit if she’s not in a familiar place though, so it’d be tricky to make a clean getaway. Much easier if you can turn back into your tiny fairy self and flit out through the bars of the cage. 😉

😆 My suspicion of her is in overdrive these days. 😉

If you listen closely, it starts out quite clearly with Christopher Lee’s voice, then slowly Ian McKellen’s voice comes through more clearly until the big reveal of Gandalf the White, when it’s all McKellen.

I’m not sure if it was BF’s voice… I’s possible.

I thought this thread was about how raspy the seer’s voice was; watching her reminded me of Christian Bale’s Batman and and how I thought he needed a throat losange so badly.
