D&D races and accents/voices

[Aus_Snow]

But what kind of accent would a goblin have? And where could I learn the accent (maybe a character in a movie)?

'Ugly one-horned mule.'

That's the kind of voice I used, for one type of goblin.

I've always like Costykan's "New Jersey" accent for orcs.

Apparently, having bronchitis makes my gruff dwarf voice sound a lot better.

I don't think it was worth it.

The last time I played a dwarf, he was a barbarian with a low, gruff Scottish accent. I had had a bout of allergies and bronchitis the week before and was just getting over same when we gamed next. About 20 minutes into the game, my voice suddenly pitches up to a squeak and fails. Completely. It even hurts to whisper. So I have to write 'RAARRGGHH!' on a peice of paper and show that to the GM whenever I Raged.

I've been tempted to give the Elves in my campaign California "surfer dude" accents, but I don't think it would go over too well.

I don't really do "racial accents" but if I were running a goblin magic-user, I'd probably have him talk like Igor from all those mad scientist movies. Kinda high pitched, greasy and slimy.
