    To me, Roland has a low raspy voice. Firm. Strong. Deep.

    It took me a bit to get used to the audio but I just embrace it now.

    I'm kind of with Maerlyn on this one.

    I think he has a gravelly voice, rough, kind of a "cowboy of the world" kind of voice.

    I also sometimes think of him as having a sort of Vegeta voice from DBZ.

    From which saga, though? His voice changes a lot. I see the Vegeta voice, if it is from Android or Frieza sagas!

    I think it was the one voice George did well in the recordings. Now I read him in that voice.

    I would be interested in it if they had the same or similar Horoscopes as we do. What do you think?

    Roland would have understood.

    Anyway altought we have no real description about his voice we know so much about his life that we can have a very good guess... his age... the smoking... the years he spent in the desert...

    But how do you imagine his voice when he was much younger? What type of voice did Susan fall in love with?

    Roland would have understood.

    I finally figured out whose voice I associate with Roland.
    Viggo Mortensen.
    I feel like his voice is strong but not deep, and that's how I've always thought of Roland. Kind and geniune, but can be gruff.

    Not deep enough.

    Nope. Not that one either. I can't think offhand of a famous person he would sound like to me.

    Just a quote from Song of Susannah to throw out there - thought it might keep the discussion going.
    Spoiler:
    Roland and Eddie are in the cartmobile heading toward their first meeting with Sai King:

    The gunslinger said, "I used to think the most terrible thing would be to reach the Dark Tower and find the top room empty. The God of all universes either dead or nonexistent in the first place. But now... suppose there is someone there, Eddie? Someone in charge who turns out to be..." He couldn't finish.
    Eddie could. "Someone who turns out to be just another bumhub? Is that it? God not dead but feeble-minded and malicious?"
    Roland nodded. This was not, in fact, precisely what he was afraid of, but he thought Eddie had at least come close.
    "How can that be, Roland? Considering what we feel?"
    Roland shrugged, as if to say anything could be.
    "In any case, what choice do we have?"
    "None," Roland said bleakly. "All things serve the beam."


    Roland claims he doesn't hold to any god (as in having a relationship with a god), and this may be true. That doesn't mean he doesn't believe in one, as the passage above seems to indicate.
    It seems that he's saying he might even think there was a god and he expected him to be dead.
    But it could also suggest that he could have never existed in the first place.
    Or that he does exist, but is evil.
    He is an odd bird.

    Thoughts?

    I personally think that Roland is afraid that God is dead- what the receding of the prim seems to indicate for him. Every once in a while, when magic is rediscovered (as in the case of the Manni), Roland is forced to reconsider, but he thinks the Manni are foolish for devoting their lives to it- its too vague and chaotic to comprehend definitively. These small magical instances worry Roland, because instead of God being dead, they indicate that he is not willing to govern the universe, or not able. In this case, God is a humbug, and that is Roland's biggest fear. Remember that IT spoiler:
    Spoiler:
    the turtle is dead at the end of IT and the universe was just an afterthought- vomit as a result of the turtle having a sick stomach.
