Sleezy
Legally mischievous 😈
Probably a gripping title, but I'm not calling any of these worse or better than the other at all! This is probably a topic that's been discussed often... But I haven't seen someone share my opinion/view.
I rarely like face claims, because I have face blindness. I'll only remember the hair color and race often. Nothing else. It's extremely rare for me to remember anything more than that. I'd prefer a full body shot, I recognize people more by clothes and body types. So, face claims fail me completely. I'll only "remember" faces with interesting skin features, say, vitiligo, big freckles, or interesting skin patterns. Of course, interesting unusual hair helps too! But that's few and far between for me. I can tell animals better apart than humans, so I guess I wouldn't mind animal face claims LOL. Static images for face claims make my face blindness worse.
In this case, I prefer description. These stick in my mind way better and abstract descriptions are more appealing to me.
I like voice claims occasionally! I don't always "hear" voices of characters (only applies to visual mediums) unless I'm 120% in, hell, I don't hear my characters' voices from time to time as I write! But if I do hear them, I think I'd like my version often more than what the author intends. If the writer never details how the voice sounds or focuses on that, I think I wouldn't mind being tossed a voice claim.
About neither, well, I tend to do this the most! I sometimes dabble in voice claims or share art of my characters, but rarely. I feel like I detail my writing enough that it's not necessary.
