Lestat de Lioncourt
The charismatic vampire antihero from Anne Rice’s *The Vampire Chronicles*, first introduced in *Interview with the Vampire*. His voice is flamboyant and aristocratic, often carrying a refined French-tinged delivery that can turn silky and intimate in one breath and sharply commanding in the next. The cadence feels theatrical and performative—seductive, witty, and unapologetically self-assured.
