Season 8 Musings

[Idle Miscreant]

This is a fairly good example of how Jim changed (or rather as we learned, was made to change) his Sheldon voice from the delightful odd piping of Seasons 1-3 to the slower and more twangy Season 4, and thence to the voice he's used for the past 3 years, which is essentially rather similar to his own voice. (I love Parsons' voice, but it's confusing to hear it emerging from Sheldon)





I miss Sheldon's Vintage voice. It was an enormous part of his character, and helped in establishing his innocence and alienness.
The louder, slower, masculine twang of Season 5 and beyond makes him far too abrasive and human. And certainly not human in a good way. I wish they'd let him tighten up his voice, face and posture again, and get back the strange, otherworldly mannerisms.
