Me? I love to do voices. I am terrible at it. But I love it.
Me too, although pretty much the only voices I have are "angry scotsman" and "Alan Rickman."

Trouble is, I'm one of those old geezers. Of course, people are free to use whatever criteria they like in choosing a game to join. But "Just in case X" is a terrible reason. "Oh, I don't want to join your game because there might be [whatever], instead of "Hey does this game have [whatever]?"Yeah, as one of those old geezers, I'll avoid games involving the CR world etc, just in case the GM is trying to emulate the show, which I don't think is a fruitful endeavour

Not the old part, no.Like he has much choice? I mean, it's not really a stretch any more.
True, but these are people who are used to being behind the microphone and the camera.Gotcha. I took “radio show” a bit more figuratively, but I can see your interpretation, and I agree that’s definitely not what CR is.
Oh, no, I’m sure they were all big ol’ ham balls long before recording and streaming the game. That doesn’t mean their behavior now is the same as it was then. You can’t get around the fact that people behave differently when knowingly observed. Even when they don’t realize it, even when they try not to, everyone acts differently on camera than they do off of it. The CR cast is no exception.

Angry Old Man is my default setting. But I do an... enthusiastic Scots, a vaugely Slavic Slavic accent, and a simply fantastic "I want you to think I'm German" accent. I also do a decent southern accent but that's from time spent in the south as a youth.I don't know about you, but I find that "angry old man" is becoming easier and easier every day.![]()

Funny thing, as I was writing that at the time it stuck me as odd. It's still absolutely what I'd say, but for a moment my Colonel Klink felt more like Pepe le Peu. I think as aspirated 'd' would probably sounds more accurate though. No one else is awake here yet, so I tired it out loud a couple of times and it sounded right.For as many times as I have heard people trying to do a German accent make "th" into "z", I don't think I have ever heard an actual German do it. Rather, what I have heard those with thicker accents do is make "th" into "d" or "t" or something a bit in between. Those with lighter accents often manage "th" just fine.
I think perhaps it is a confusion with French accents. Or I guess it could be a regional thing.
That's.....what more do your players want? Alan Rickman is the TARRASQUE in your Truffle Pie!Me too, although pretty much the only voices I have are "angry scotsman" and "Alan Rickman."
There is a web series called "Between the Sheets" where the cast of Critical Role discuss their origin stories. Matt Mercer's is an interesting watch and is informative as to why his games are so animated. There is a therepudic aspect to it.
