Original fictional American male voice, approximately 45 to 50 years old.
Warm, socially comfortable, relaxed and conversational.
Medium-low American male voice.
Slightly textured, mature tone.
Natural confidence without sounding dominant.
He sounds like a man who can talk comfortably with almost anyone within a few minutes of meeting them.
Friendly, mildly humorous, patient.
Casual pacing.
Occasional small chuckle or smile in the voice.
He treats unusual or uncomfortable subjects as if they are completely normal everyday matters.
This is extremely important:
do not make him sound sinister, threatening, criminal or manipulative.
Any unsettling quality should come from the calm normality of his delivery, not from an ominous voice.
At home:
slightly softer, casual fatherly tone.
At a poker table:
same basic voice, slightly more socially animated and amused.
He should be capable of saying something absurd or morally questionable in exactly the same tone someone might use to disc
