Voices

[zoé]

I cannot fairly participate in the French challenge: although I don't know any of those voices, I think I figure out from which episode it has been recorded and it's weird but it's like each voice becomes obvious when you get what they're saying...

The only voice that suprised me is Kat's.

This is funny to see who's close to the truth and who's way far from it ;D

It is for the same reason that I was not able to participate in the Italian challenge.

Yep If you want to change your answers it is the moment.

The solutions Thursday.


PS : Thanks Riche

Blah... I really wanted to try the French ones... but my ISP is being evil and refusing to let me download them from either source, as it is wont to do every now and then just to remind me who's boss.

C'est la vie (do I get points for using French terminology?)... but best of luck to everyone else!

+ 1 your french is perfect ;D

ok, try with these links, maybe this time.

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7

[Collider]

Many thanks for the efforts to re-upload, and especially to RichE for saving me from going completely insane trying to get the links to work... I hope I still have time left on the clock to humiliate myself by no doubt getting this completely wrong:

1. Stillman
2. Kat
3. Scotty
4. Lilly
5. Vera
6. NotInCCWoman
7. Will

Completely wild guesses, for the most part. I'm semi-confident - or as confident as one can be given that I don't have a frickin' clue - that #7 is Will... and something about the tone of voice in #4 made me instantly think of Lilly's interrogation at the end of "Death Penalty: Final Appeal", so...

...yea, I'm totally clueless. But I do know that I absolutely agree with CBL - #5 is weird.

[coldboneslove398]

I do think that i'm confidant that number 4 is for sure, Lilly.....I saw one episode of "Cold Case", "Bad Night" from Season 3 dubbed in French.

[frenchfan]

It’s time.

Vera and will voices are the most simple to recognize for non French people. (4/4)
Stillman and Scotty (3/4)
Lilly (1/4)
Kat (1/4)
Definitively the women’s voices are the most difficult to recognize.

1- Stillman --> Jean-Luc KAYSER
2- Lilly --> Stéphanie LAFFORGUE
3- Scotty --> Xavier FAGNON
4- Camilla -->Annie MILON
5- Vera --> Bruno DUBERNAT
6- Kat --> Ilana CASTRO (no info)
7- Will --> Gérard DESSALLES (no info)
Dubbing Artistic direction Claire GUYOT

I have the chance to watch CC in original version with french subtitles and in french, there are sometimes some differences (dubbing oblige), but overall the french version is really good (really great dubbing) and respects original work, that’s not the case with all series.

Dialogues extract by Ep 5X07
French translation in my approximate english.

1 - Stillman
Trans VF : We turned around immediately to get back at home and to kiss our children before the final attack
VO : All we could think of was to get back home to see our children before the final attack."

2 - Lilly
Trans VF : Many rumors went around, like the Martians would had taken Audrey
VO : A lot of crazy rumors of what happened like, uh, Martians really did take her.

3 - Scotty
Trans vf : I heard that in the Palomar, the police often had to intervene to break up fights.
VO : I heard stories about the Palomar in those days. Cops were called in to break up a lot of fights.

5 - Vera
Trans VF : That’s the same guy that saw her in Germany?
VO : Elmer the same guy that saw her in Germany?

6 - Kat
Trans vf : Nice to see you again. I’ll be in the hall
VO : Nice to see you again. I'll be down the hall.

7 - Will
Trans vf : yep that’s right, the men paid for a dance according to its duration as a taxi ride.
VO : That's right. Men would pay for dances would last the amount you paid like a taxi ride.

So the ranking.

1- Ali (5/7)
- CLB (5/7)
2- Collider (4/7)
And the last but non the least
3- RichE (2/7)

EDIT : a french extract with Lilly, here

Congrats to Ali and CBL... and to RichE for holding onto his position in last place and making me look just a tiny little bit better. ;D

[ali]

No, I'm lucky. ;D

Anything I can do to help


Could someone post clips from the Australian showing of CC? I might stand more of a chance with those ;D

[zoé]

Hello Everybody,

I did record a bit of CC and so here comes the German challenge.
Sorry for the crappy quality, but it's all I could do while fighting over the TV (Germany-Turkey was showing at the same time :.

CSI was on too, so the 3rd woman is the same blond woman from ali's Italian challenge.

[coldboneslove398]

Lol Riche not very confidant in your guesses? xD They're identical to Ali's .

I'm staying out of this one. Too hard.

I'm not confident at all but I hadn't realised they were the same as ali's. Sorry ali, I've doomed you to only getting 2 out of 7

Collider will be pleased, this means she'll be 3rd from last, not 2nd, now ;D

HA! I wouldn't count on that. I have a feeling this one may be my undoing... not that I've been scoring sky-high up until this point or anything, but y'know. And, yep, once again, I couldn't tell one from another with the bloody women's voices. Is it too late to second the bid for Australian voices as the next challenge?

1. Lilly
2. Will
3. Vera
4. NotCCWoman
5. Kat
6. Scotty
7. Stillman

They are not identical: 4 and 5 are different!
