Quick /tg/, you need to portray a character right now! Do you

>>49620062
>Fantasy & Sci-fi setting
Lose the accent and sound as South European as I can
>Modern setting
Go full Joyce or Oirish

>>49620062
All the time. I change accent, and speech cadence, when appropriate.
>Cheerful, boisterous Slav Drow
>Mellow, easygoing Latino Half-Elf Ranger
>Uptight, self-absorbed Roman Half-Elf Sorcerer
>Amiable, intelligent, English Sylvain Wizard
>Brusque, cantankerous Nordic Jayan Weaponmaster

And don't get me started on my GMing.

>>49620062
I refuse to do accents.

I am not an actor, I do not have a good voice.

It would obliterate all drama and fill the air with an awkward tension if I tried to do accents.

>>49620062
I always default to Received Pronunciation because I'm a posh faggot

You're doing it wrong.

This actually reminds me of my current character. I'm playing a Michael Weston-esque spy for hire, so I like to use accents and speech patterns whenever I'm using some kind of cover.

Last time I tried to do a Boston accent for some random street vagabond who was supposed to distract a guy while we bugged his phone. Wound up being less Boston and more Jimmy Stewart.

Middle-class English accent or cockney accent.

I'm a Canuckfag but I spent 6 months on each one for 2 different theatre productions that a solid amount of my grade 12 average depended on. My friend's very English grandparents, the ones who were visiting from London for the week, thought I was English and asked me where I was from and why hadn't my friend mentioned that I was from England before

My first attempt at roleplaying involved a character with an ever-changing voice as I searched for what they should sound like. A few funny comments from my friends here and there, and occasional praise, too, once I found it. In retrospect, I cringe a little. He sounded like someone who would ask if you go to the Cloud District very often. Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't.

Round of my Rs, straighten my back, and frown.

y'all all are pleb af

As DM, I have created a few "Characters" that I use in variety
Mr. Candide, my (American) Southern Aristocrat
Henry, the English lad
Reginald, the pish-posh Victorian gentleman
Yuri Invanskonov Unchkvarski, the Slav
Paddy McFlannigan, the Irish
Dieter, the gay german
A mish-match that's kinda Italian and Spanish at times
And then I have some variations based on characters from vidya, like trying to imitate Cairne Bloodhoof for my minotaurs, the Warcraft 2 Knight for royal guards, and so on

Deep voice, vaguely russian accent, commanding and carrying tone.

Funny story about that...

>be on plot team for a LARP
>this event's plot is based on the oni masks from Jackie Chan Adventures
>resting at plot camp after being exhausted from being a miniboss
>door suddenly slams open

>"Anon! Our final boss hurt himself and has to be driven to the hospital! Can you be the final boss? You speak Japanese!"
"Not since fucking highschool."
>"Whatever! We need a kabuki supervillain! Do whatever it takes!"
"I'm kind of beat"
>"We can work with that, come on!"

>get rushed to makeup tent
>face is painted like a kabuki hero
>rushed to the dungeon module
>stuck inside a force field made of transparent mesh
>"You don't have to fight, just monologue and yell Japanese-y things while your minions fight the good guys and they figure out how to remove your magical barrier, then die like a bitch"

>Idea
>Spend the next hour talking like Aku at 200% volume so it echoes
>alternating between yelling random praises to the dark gods in japanese and insulting the 'FOOOLISH HEROES FOR OPPOOOSING ME!"
>waving arms like Yoshimitsu
>laughing at the efforts of the heroes
>Barrier goes down
>scream as I get stabbed
>literally can't talk above a whisper for the next full day afterwards.

Fucking be careful with the voices.

I remember that movie for no other reason than it was made at a time when rollerblading was cool

>>49620062
