I read this article and was curious about you guys. do you, when you DM or play, do voices? Do you narrate the female(or male, if you are female IRL) voices instead of trying to "act" them?
share your stories, experiences or general opinions!
personally, I make voices as much as possible, but when it comes to female voices I use my normal voice although calmer and maybe a bit lighter. still sounds terrible though. Orcs have deep and raspy voices, goblins have disgusting high pitched voices (my players have yet to talk to goblin, lucky them) and gnomes talk Ny-norsk (we being norwegian tend to play our games in norwegian too).
The spellcaster in the group have been tugging a sentient scythe along for a while but it had'nt said a single word to him until he was thrown trough the air by the paladin, stabbed a bad-guy with the scythe while pulling the halfling to safety as the cleric nuked said bad guy with fire.
so yeah, the neutral evil scythe have a dark malicious voice. while the crystal crown the cleric have (yepp. also evil and untalked too) have a superior "better than you" voice.
Itried to do a ye olde norwegian for a thousand-year-old warrior they met at the island of the dead kings. didnt work to well.
Now they will venture to the arab-like country! let the stereotype voices emerge!
