Sirius Casting

[Felicia Rickmann]

Hmmm.  I have something of a problem with the voice of Sirius, having been *raised* on the readings by Stephen Fry, he does a good gruff, affectionate and sort of sexy, and is more baritone than bass.  Fry's voice gives Sirius the gravitas of his having suffered in Azkaban while still being tough enough to kill Pettigrew.  Fry's reading of the suggestion that Harry go and live with him is very moving.  

OK, gathers thoughts together, the voice will be deep and thoughtful but not above venomous hatred and a slightly higher pitched loathing for really special occasions like the Shreiking Shack.  I cannot imagine a really light voice in the part.

How does that sound?

I really pictured Sirius as having a deep, sexy,
Ive-been-in-prison-for-12years-but-Im-innocent-Dang-It kind of voice.
Jason Carter DOES NOT have that voice on Bab5.  Who does, though?  We
keep going on about the look, but if they cant do  the voice properly,
then the looks dont matter much.

Who has the proper voice?  And what do you guys think Sirius should
sound like??
