Bea's voice type, accent/dialect, etc.

This is a rather odd thing for me to be making a post about, but I've always been curiousabsolutelybeyondbugged about Bea's voice type. Several online friends and I had made it an occasional activity to read comics aloud via Skype calls [it's a really fun activity to do when you're bored ]

From what I gathered about the character, Bea, she is:
-A female teenager
-She is able to sing "Think of Me" [which in my belief is a crazy Soprano song XD]
-She lives in Boston/New England area [?]

And semi-biased viewing says she doesn't really seem the tomboy type

So, what is Bea's voice type? Does she have any notable accent/dialect?

I've actually wondered the same thing. Personally, I try to imagine her with a very slight Boston accent, but it always ends up sounding Midwestern (i.e. "Standard American") in my head since that's my accent. I imagine all of the 1776 as having accents somewhere between modern American and RP British for some reason, except for Knowlton, who has a fully American accent, and Bea, who has the same accent in both centuries. I'm not sure how any of them are supposed to sound, though, and I didn't really put that much thought into their "voices".

Also, for whatever it's worth, I'm a mezzo-soprano and I sang "Think of Me" for a recital, high notes and all. I do agree that Bea is probably a soprano, though.

lol I'll try reading the comic out loud to myself sometime soon and tell you what voices and accents develop. If I can master them well enough I'll put up a funny dub of the first issue or something on youtube. lol

Caera, will you please, please, PLEASE do this! LOL!

Personally, I think The Dreamer is more fun when you read General Howe with Jeremy Irons's voice.

I tend to "hear" Bea as Kalie(sp?) from Quest for Camelot, just sans the accent.

Consider it a project in progress. lol Deadline unknown.

I've been thinking that as well, and also for the other characters as well. Particularly Alex's accent - we know he's from the West Indies, but what kind of accent would he have? I don't think he's the kind of guy to have a Jamaican accent.

At the thought of Alexander Hamilton with a Jamaican accent: *laughing my guts out*

Oh, no, please no Jamaican accent for Hamilton. There would be several fatalities from laughter.

He has an RP British accent in my head. I don't know if that's right, but I don't really care, because it fits.
