Richard Gibson for Energetic Count
Count Winifred Curious has quite an enthusiastic and animated way of speaking. His voice is loud, mid-range, and he’s well-spoken and high-class but not overly posh-sounding. In other words, he sounds like Jack Skellington’s singing voice (Danny Elfman). Other potential voice references would be Roddy from “Flushed Away” or Gene Wilder’s portrayal of Willy Wonka.
