The Choicer Voicer

Recognizing a familiar voice does not necessarily mean being able to reproduce it. Players have to pay attention to details such as vocal character, timing, and expression before attempting their own version. The Choicer Voicer turns this difference between recognition and imitation into the central challenge. Each performance is presented as part of a judged competition, giving players a clear reason to concentrate on their delivery. The experience can be played casually, with participants simply trying to make each other laugh, or approached as a test of impression skills. Different voice content can provide new targets for experimentation. The game's purpose is ultimately to make vocal imitation interactive and entertaining while giving players freedom to develop their own performance style.
