Do you use "voice acting" when you play?

[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 9788529, member: 15538"] I do. I enjoy it, I think other people enjoy it, but I've definitely annoyed some people over the years. I played in an Adventurer's League game at a game store where I gave my female human fighter would I would describe as Matthew McConaughey's accent by way of Holly Hunter. During the break, a couple of the guys tried to coach me on a proper character voice, such as a faux British accent, maybe something Scottish, appropriate for the Dalelands. Well, the Dalelands is full of good ol' country folk, so I was pretty comfortable with my choice. It all came together when the DM described something "rustling in the bushes ahead." I knew this was my moment, and said, "Ssh! Rustlers!" At that point one of my dialect coaches just lost it. He laughed for several minutes before he could compose himself enough to continue playing. That's what I live for. I've actually studied a little linguistics and love watching videos on Youtube about accents, which I like to imitate and practice. I do a Russian accent, a couple of Irish and Scottish ones, various things. For fantasy RPGs, sometimes I cobble together something on the spot from various pieces. I can also do quite a few American accents... I'm particularly proud of a New Jersey I do, also New Orleans, a general Nebraska accent, and various flavors of California and the Southwest. I do some celebrity impressions, not anything I could do on stage, I would say, but GREAT for RPGs when I need a voice, fast. I do Sean Connery, Christopher Walken, Ron Howard, Antonio Banderas, Julie Andrews. I do Harley Quinn. Funny story, I'm working on an RPG Maker video game, now and then, and I recorded a quick intro. I did a kind of Spanish accent with some George Takei in there. When I played it for my kids, they wanted to know who it was. LOL! In addition to doing bad celebrity impressions, I also have a lot of experience talking into a mic. [/QUOTE]
