This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Do you use voices?

Voices and accents is one of my gifts as a GM.  I have a bit of a gift for language, having studied several of them, and that turns out to be pretty useful for GMing purposes.

Quote from: Elfdart;918216I can only do James Earl Jones when I have a moderate cold. A mild cold and I sound like Isaac Hayes and a bad one makes me talk like Barry White. Only I don't use the word "Baby" at the end of every sentence.

Even Schwarzenegger says everyone can do his voice. He was interviewed for Jingle All the Way and said he has to go to stores in person, because they don't believe it is him on the phone, since "Everyone can do my ah-ccent."

As a DM Sometimes though all my voices tend to sound pretty alike!  I try to vary my NPC speech patterns though it tends to devolve to pseudo-Vancian style lingo.  My one big success has been the targets of Speek with Animals spells my players seem to like (or find amusing) my attempts a trying to sound like being not used to talking.

Well, the video I linked in the OP addresses doing a variety of things with your voice besides just sounding like other people... like speaking faster during stressful/exciting moments... speaking lower or louder for various effects. Mostly stuff for a GM but I can see making use of it as a Player as well... even if you're not so good at accents or changing pitch.
