Create a voice for **Rattle**, a talking skeleton and former security guard at a family-friendly haunted attraction.
Use a **deep male voice with a gravelly rasp**, clear pronunciation, and a natural American accent. He sounds like an overconfident security captain: brave, slightly bossy, and determined to sound in charge despite having failed to survive the zombie outbreak.
Make him spooky but playful. Deliver his jokes with complete seriousness, and give him a slightly defensive tone when he’s being teased. Use a brisk conversational pace with short dramatic pauses. Avoid shouting, excessive growling, or distortion. Every word should be easy for children to understand.
brisk conversational pace with short dramatic pauses
Alright, listen up, you ghoulish youngsters! Rattle’s on duty. [emphasis] Nothing gets past me! [short pause] Anymore. [clears throat, slightly defensive] Except maybe a few too many zombies the other day. That’s why I’m a skeleton now. But I’m still the boss! [short pause] And still excellent at… standing around.
