HAS A UNIQUE, IDENTIFIABLE
VOICE OR ACTION (Audio & Visual)
Can you think of some well-known "Voices"?
Can you identify some of these Voices? see below...
"What's up, doc?"
"I thot I taw a putty tat..."
"DUH!"
"Stupid Dog! You make me look bad!" / "The things i do for love."
"To infinity and beyond!"
"Scoooooby Doooby Doooooooooo!"
SOME UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS THAT HELP KEY CHARACTERS STAND OUT:
sometimes creators use a combination of the below...
1. Unique "Voice"
eg "DUH!" - homer simpson
2. Unique Action / Behaviour
eg Wonder Woman - swirls around to "change" from ordinary lady to Wonder Woman
eg. powerpuff girls to the rescue - the 3 girls fly off in formation, with graphics & music/sfx
3. Sound Effect(s)
eg. "Beep Beep!" - road runner
eg. spongebob's (irritating) laugh
4. Jingle/Music
eg. popeye the sailor man
eg pink panther
