What do your favourite characters sound like?

Can you imagine how the characters in books might talk? What do they sound like to you?

Imagination is more than just picturing a scene. In fact, our imagination can create representations using all five of our senses, from sight to sound. We want to learn more about how people create auditory representations of characters, and why certain voices might be assigned to certain character types. We've teamed up with experts in voice perception to develop VoiceMatch, a new activity where you can explore some of these characters and give your say on how they sound to you.
