Sorry it took me a while to get back to you, I’ve been dealing with back pain all weekend and have been in bed most of that time.
It’s not confusing at all, I totally get what you mean and thank you for asking, I’m flattered you think I’m a good source of information for something like this since I, too, struggle with getting “my” voice out of their mouths lol.
First things first, something like this takes practice and patience. Writing something, reading it over, visualizing them saying what you wrote, and adjusting as needed.
Consider their word choices. It’s a little challenging sometimes because as with most anime we’re watching a translation (I’m presuming, unless you can understand the native tongue it was broadcast in) but assuming you’re watching subtitles you’re getting the gist of their word choice.
Such as, Midorima and Akashi speak more “proper” this conveys their intelligence, self control, seriousness, power, etc.
Aomine and Murasakibara are more casual speakers, they’d be more likely to use slang or sharp speak.
Kise is a bit harder because there are two schools of thought: anime version and manga version. I’ve never read the manga but I have read about his characterization in it and he’s…less bubbly and more cold. But you can do both to show his dual nature. It actually can make him an even more interesting character and not just “the dumb blonde”.
Think about how they communicate in terms of tone inflection, pace, facial expressions, gestures. All of these things help bring them to life on the page.
You don’t have to necessarily do all of this while you’re writing the scene. Get your ideas out on the page so you don’t lose them and then go back and tone it properly for the characters.
I hope that makes sense and is helpful, please feel free to ask more questions or for clarification if needed and thanks again for flattering me by asking MY advice on character writing!
These are more sweet, than sexy, I hope you enjoy!
He smiles, eyes alight with excitement. “They’ll look perfect.”
Hinata flushes bright pink but his smile is, if possible, even brighter.
“I think he just went super nova,” Sugawara chuckles.
Ushijima holds her close. “Sorry, sometimes I just get too excited and lose control.”
She smiles. “I’m glad I can still drive you wild.”
Said boy sends his beaming smile your way. “Wha??? I’m your sunshine!” He jumps up, rushing to hug you. “You’re the same for me!”
Kageyama blushes again, but shows a true soft smile at your encouragement.
*The rest of the team stare*
“Guess you were right,” mutters Tanaka scratching his head.
My first anon with an ID! Welcome blueberry anon!
Kageyama looks a little overwhelmed with all your attention but finally manages to crack a smile.
“What kind of look is that Kageyama?” Hinata asks with a shudder.
“Yeah, you look like you have to go to the bathroom or something,” Tsukki chimes in.
“Sh…shut up idiots!” shouts the blue eyed setter. Turning back to you, he bows. “Thank you for your concern, I’ll make sure to take care of myself so as not to worry you!”
You’re welcome, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’ve still got a little less than three hours to go, but Happy New Year!
