My advice is that if you feel embarrased with RL roleplay and your players feel the same way, just continue with the "the girl says..." "the priest says..." It's not as in-depth as actually using voices and all, but you shouldn't feel like you're somehow not living up to the ideal roleplaying standard. Chances are, you and your players will eventually grow into the more in-depth voices and whatnot in your own time.The only issue I'd like to point out is your comment about roleplaying two NPCs. As a rule of thumb, avoid two NPCs having actual conversations with each other. If two NPCs have to talk with each other in the presence of the PCs, it's better to make it short and sweet: "the farmer and his wife seem to bicker in a corner for several minutes before returning their attention to you..." Not that it's necessarily bad to have a conversation with yourself <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" />, but if the PCs aren't involved with the interaction chances are the players are bored.</blockquote>
