β What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? Surprisingly low and deep despite his somewhat effeminate appearance.
β How does he normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does he talk easily, or does he hesitate? Although his voice is very even and articulate, it isnβt necessarily soft. Each word is a deliberate choice, and because of that, it sometimes comes off like heβs hesitating or trying to think of what to say. He speaks with purpose, always with consideration and care put into how heβs communicating.
β Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? No distinct accent or dialect in the context of his world. When speaking to most people, Itachi uses clear and direct language in the effort of wanting to be understood. No noticeable verbal tics, unless a lot of cold silences are weird.
β What language/s does he speak, and with how much fluency? Fluent in fantasy world Japanese.
β Does he switch languages or dialects in certain situations? No, although he does occasionally add suffixes ('san'/'kun') for enemies (i.e. Konoha shinobi). His language can also be a bit ruder when talking to Sasuke (pre-reveal) in particular.
β Is he a good impromptu speaker, or does he have to think about his words? It depends on the situation, but I would err on the side of the latter. Knowing how his mind works, Itachi would prefer to collect his thoughts before making any kind of speech. He's also not great at small talk, so catching him off-guard on a subject or topic may not turn out well. Maybe he's so good at lying because he just doesn't talk! Who knows!
β Is he eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? Highly eloquent, rarely inarticulate. He alternates between simple, precise verbiage and flowery, abstract words because he's pretentious like that. Possibly if he was in an altered state (drugged/drunk, though GOOD LUCK WITH THAT) this could change.
