Drinking from a firehose

I have no idea how to describe it other than to say it was completely different. I knew, the moment I noticed the difference, that hearing LC's voice was already overwriting my inner voice for Bodie, exactly as what happens when I imagine a character and then later see pictures or watch the show/movie/whatever -- as soon as I see the "real" person, I can no longer access my imaginary version. I have no idea if other people have this problem or if it is just me. It annoys me that my mind is so weak that I can't imagine something other than what was presented. I feel I ought to be able to create alternative versions of any character.

Also, I've been mulling over your question, on and off, for around eight hours and in all that time the only thing I can think to say is "I thought it would be softer, some how." Warm and soft. Not screechy (not that LC's voice is), nor insanely deep. I rather think LC's voice is deeper than I thought it would be, but with my overwriting problem, it's hard to be sure.

Adding to my inability to answer this question is my utter lack of musical ability. Back when I was in middle school I took guitar lessons and I frustrated the hell out of my instructor with my inability to tune the strings. If my guitar was wildly out of tune I could tell *something* was wrong, but would have no idea what, exactly, the problem was. I could never figure out when to tighten the strings and when to loosen them. He spent hours trying to teach me and I just couldn't do it.
