[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8020508, member: 4534"] The only accent I actively avoid is Asian because I can't pull it off without sounding like a racist caricature best left untouched. I don't know how to do an accent for the various Native American groups so I don't even try and I certainly don't speak like I'm reading for the part of Tonto. But I'll happily use various American and European accepts though I certainly don't do a very good job with it. Sometimes I even do piss poor imitations of celebrities. My players still talk about the dwarven king who sounded like Christopher Walken. I'm starting a game of Acquisitions Inc. in a few days and it'll be my first online game ever. I'm going to kick things up a notch and use accents and voice mannerisms to make NPCs a bit more memorable since we're not face to face. Karen - The group's majordomo is a succubus who decided to leave the hospitality business, attend college, and now works as an office manager. Karen believes her spells hide her true form, but she's actually been cursed to think she looks like a regular human where everyone sees her true form. Is completely oblivious to any comments that she might be something other than human. -- Sweet southern belle accent. Bud - Bud isn't part of Acquisitions Inc., he's a travelogue author in the vein of Volo and author of [I]The Chronic Traveler: My Time in the Underdank[/I]. The marketeers thought it'd be a good idea to bring him aboard to write about the franchise. Free publicity is great! -- California stoner accent. [/QUOTE]
