Verne is a very relaxed and comforting scarecrow character, and his voice should reflect this. His voice should be peaceful and mellow and positive, like a pillow. As a reference, I’d suggest Bob Ross, though perhaps not quite as deep. Verne could be seen to fit the “stoner” archetype as he engages in smoking a pipe and has a very chilled out and carefree attitude, though he doesn’t use as much slang. His tone is medium-deep, and he should sound either like a young adult or middle-aged, but not elderly or teenage. I’m once again open to him having a British or American accent. For a British accent reference, I’d suggest Guthrie Govan or Steven Wilson.
