Lalafells with Deep Voices

[LineageRazor]

The size of the body does not necessarily have that great an effect on the deepness of the voice. The tautness of the vocal cords is the important thing, and if Lala males' voices deepen in the same way that human males' voices deepen, they'd sound pretty similar.

Just look to real life dwarf actors to get an idea of what I mean. Male dwarves voices cover the same vocal range as other human males.

that depends on what type of dwarfism they have. Compare Verne Troyer to Peter Dinkledge for an example of what I mean. It really does have to do with vocal cord size.

That said, even some of the Lala NPCs official voices can be jarring. The Japanese version has the unique distinction of having a character whose voice is actually DEEPER in Japanese than it is in English, which almost never happens. It was extremely jarring to hear a stereotypical old man voice coming out of a tiny lala, especially since Papalymo's voice fits his size pretty well in both English and Japanese.
