[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 3650123, member: 32740"] I'm quite good at accents and character voices. I tend not to use them a lot for characters or NPC's because it's hard to keep it up for too long without it getting tedious (or at least so it seems to me). In any case I don't do all that much roleplay in first person because my PLAYERS don't. :) However, when the spirit moves me I have done characters and accents for particular instances - and I've KILLED with them. Best one I ever did was probably "Luigi" the Type II demon with a bad Italian accent. He was in a sealed vault and thought it was his best shot at convincing the PC's to open the door and break the seal if he could convince them that contrary to the DETECT EVIL results he was not a threat. "I do not a-suppose you could-a let-a me out, eh? Eets-a not-a so nice een-a heeah you know." The players just could NOT reconcile the voice to the solid evil ping behind the door and could NOT decide what to do, so they just kept talking to him and his evasive answers kept them squirming. I, at least, was having a blast. :) When they finally found out the truth they were rotfl for some time. I still throw that voice at them at key moments IRL and it sets them off EVERY time. [/QUOTE]
