The voices of A Scandal in Bohemia
5 voices in A Scandal in Bohemia by Arthur Conan Doyle. Every one is a separate voice, cast to the character as written.
- Narrator — Watson's first-person literary narration — warm, adventurous, admiring of Holmes.
- Sherlock Holmes — The world's only consulting detective. Razor-sharp analytical mind, cold precision, theatrical wit. Alternates between lethargy and explosive energy. Speaks in crisp, certain pronouncements.
- Dr. Watson — Holmes's loyal friend and biographer. A former army surgeon, warm, practical, earnest. Speaks with admiration for Holmes and genuine concern for clients.
- Irene Adler — The Woman — a celebrated opera contralto and adventuress. The only person to outwit Holmes. Resolute, intelligent, and entirely unafraid of Holmes.
- King of Bohemia — Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, hereditary King of Bohemia. Pompous, self-important, and anxious about a compromising photograph held by Irene Adler.
