Others do intense voice acting. One of my friends did a great thick accent through the whole campaign for her Russian mob character in a Shadowrun game. Another did a fantastic southern accent for her librarian in our d20 Modern game. For me it is mostly emphasis and approach in how I say things and how much emotions but not much voices or accents. I did a big western drawl and mannerisms in a homebrew d20 weird west game but only had to keep it up for a few games.My biggest problem with voices is remembering them once I switch out. When my son was young I was reading him the Hobbit and the first night I went all in on it and came up with distinct consistent voices for Bilbo and Gandalf and all 13 different dwarves and it was great. Then the second night I could not find them again and so I just went without the voices from there on.As a DM generally me though a bit of voicing stuff for various specific NPCs and monsters, often broad characterization stuff. In one Gothic Horror campaign I specifically described most NPCs as references. The Church of Asmodeus Bishop is a sneer smiling Tom Cruise. The creepy aristocrat patron family friend looks like Christopher Walken from the Penguin-Catwoman Batman Movie. You see a disheveled scraggly bearded man out the window who looks like Robin Williams from the Fisher King. The necromantic war surgeon looks like Jack Nicholson, he is smiling but it has an edge as if you were the joke. My Christopher Walken impression is terrible, it was a lot of fun.I remember doing a Chasme fly demon buzzing once in an online game using discord and one of my friends cut me off mid buzz and asked me not to as it was so grating it physically pained him.</blockquote>
