[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 3155261, member: 19675"] I do it as a player and as a DM. When I ran a campaign in which the PCs were displaced into a PMP dominated by anthropomorphic animals- the "burrowing animals" (understood only by the gnome) spoke with an "outraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaageous Frrrraaaaanch accent"...and the druid's awakened animal companion sounded like Elvis. My last Half-Orc, OTOH, sounded like Michael Dorn as Lt. Worf, and I've run an Assassin who sounded like Peter Lorre. And while I'm a somewhat gifted mimic, I'm not above using props. I picked up a "Zoob Tube Jr." at KB Toys for $3.95 some years ago- its a cardboard tube with a spring stretched between the 2 cups stuck in either end, and a small hole in the side (a marginally higher-tech version of what werk described above). With it, you can make a few different sci-fi voice sounds, and can even make a Classic Trek Photon Torpedo sound. You can also get nifty effects simply speaking through a motorized fan, and you can get a small hand-sized one for under $10. You could even do a little looking around- from what I understand, there is a novelty skull out there that has a microphone hookup. Its jaw moves in synch with what you say into the mic...and of course, it has spooky voice effects. I also own an ooooooold microphone which plugged into an old stereo system I no longer own...but I just found out can plug into my Korg Pandora's Box Guitar practice digital effects processor. If I pick up an actual amp, I'll be able to plug into [i]that[/i] (directly or through the Korg) and apply about 50 or so different effects to my voice, like flange, fuzz, a chorus effect, bubbles, etc. (All I need is about $200, and I'll just ROCK!) While best for sci-fi effects, obviously, it could also be used to simulate uneartly FRPG critters, like outsiders and undead. [/QUOTE]
