Nathan
The tone of voice Nathan has is very sarcastic and mocking, we know this because of when the probation worker says 'when you see my lips moving, that means I'm still talking' and Nathan responds with 'yeah but you could have been yawning or chewing' which was also said in a very natural way in the sense that he meant it seriously but came across in a mocking way. His tone can come across as quite annoying sometimes with his responses, for example when the probation worker is saying about people thinking they are scum and he says 'Yeah but what if they're right' the reason this can be annoying is because people sometimes find those that back chat about everything annoying because they just don't like the conversation to drag on. The way he speaks is very laid back so he's chilled about everything really and he's not bothered to say anything, like when he says to Gary 'No affiance, but i think some people are born criminals', most people would be scared to say that because if they thought someone was a criminal they would be intimidated. I find his found to be very clear in a way that you can understand everything he says even with an accent. He also seems to be faux polite which comes with his sarcasm because he says things that seem very polite but he says it in a sarcastic way and you can tell it was meant in quite a fake way. Nathan's tone can be quite condescending in the sense he's kind of looking down on the people as he speaks to them thinking he's bigger and better especially when he says to Gary about being a criminal and Gary responds with 'you looking to get stabbed' then Nathan just naturally says 'See my point there' so basically he's making out he can say anything he wants to anyone because he's quite cocky.
The volume of Nathan's voice is quite loud and he's very outspoken. His voice seems to dominate everyone else's and he talks a lot after everything, this suggests he enjoys being heard, his past could be the reason behind why he's like this. His accent seems to be from Southern Ireland, this means that because he's from outside the UK he doesn't have a 'class' as such.
Aleisha
Aleisha's tone of voice comes across as very careless, laid-back and quite flirty. You can see this because in the short clip she answers the phone even though she's being spoken to by her probation worker, and just has a normal chat, whereas most people would try keep it subtle to hope no one would notice but she keeps her normal pitched tone acting like she's with no one else. Even though the probation worker is right there, she still says 'boring as fuck' in a very laid-back tone showing that she is quite fearless as she will say what she thinks even if it involves trouble. She seems very confident in a way that she's quite argumentative, for example when he said 'I'm still talking here' and she responds with 'Well I'd thought you finished', this could prove that she's probably from a rough background. The volume of her voice is relatively quiet, comparing it to Nathan's but she shows that she doesn't need to be loud to dominate the situation, possibly due to her attitude and maybe her accent. Her accent seems to be from London, possibly cockney as from some things she says seem to be a bit chavvy. The way she acts makes her seem quite a flirty person, in the sense that at the beginning when she's playing with her hair and as well she has this sweet tone to her voice.
Curtis
Curtis come across as quite a chilled person and possibly a bit vein. He seems like he might be vein because of the way that everyone else is wearing there orange jump suit properly and he has his tied round his waist and has a vest out, potentially trying to show off his body. The way he stands and speaks suggest he's just very chilled, because his tone isn't anything that's trying to overpower the others as he's just making comments to himself initially, for example he says 'I shouldn't be 'ere man'. He then goes on to say 'Can I look to move groups, this isn't going to work for me' suggesting he thinks he's too good to be in a group with the others and looking down on the others, this again shows a bit of vein. Everything he says is very relaxed, even though he kind of offends the others, he doesn't really seem to show that he cares very much. His accent is like Aleisha's, so probably from London and you can really tell this when he says 'Is that for real' not pronouncing things properly. The way he acts shows that he may well be from a average or above background because he seems to think he's more superior but doesn't try and dominate anything.
Gary
Gary gives the impression he has a bit of an attitude and quite aggressive. He comes across as quite aggressive as Nathan implies he's a criminal and Gary's response is 'You lookin' to get stabbed'. Then again, Nathan blows him a kiss and Gary replies with 'I'm gunna rip out your throat and shit down your neck' showing he is quite short tempered and easily aggravated. On various occasions Gary attempts to attack Nathan, this could prove he's from quite a rough background (and lower social class) because of how easily he'll pick a fight, he also has quite a Londoner accent, it is very chavvy as he doesn't pronounce most of his words very well. He shows that he won't take nothing from anyone and will protect himself if people say things about him.
Kelly
Kelly appears to be a very careless yet fiery person. She seems quite careless when she's just slumped on the fence, showing she doesn't really care and just wants it over with. It is all easily read on her face as well because it's just got a dull look right over it especially with the facial expressions she pulls when the word 'scum' is said by the probation worker, showing that she doesn't agree with it. When a comment is made by Curtis, she responds with 'Err what makes you think your better than us' with a proper chav sound to it and it's said really quickly, this shows she's someone who thinks very highly of herself. She then goes on to say 'you trying to say something then yeah' think proves that she won't take anything from anyone and definitely will say what's on her mind. These things suggest she's lower social class than the others, maybe like Gary, you can also tell by her image. When she speaks she comes across as quite dominating because of her volume of her voice as it's relatively loud.
Simon
In this short clip of Misfits, nothing is said by Simon. This already goes to show that he is quite and isolated person who likes to keep himself to himself and not get involved with any nonsense. Within a short space of time, he's already a victim by being named as a 'weird kid' by Nathan. He shows that he likes to read people, because the times he showed in this clip he's just looking at the others, maybe trying to work out more about them possibly this kind of is showing he could be insecure. With him not talking I can't identify his tone or accent but his image shows he's possibly a higher class compared to the others. He seems quite vulnerable and possibly someone who was always regularly picked on/bullied.
