I dont know... it almost sounds fake when I try to make it sound deeper

Besides elfangors dying ,which is why I used that tone. He is weak and he's trying not to scare the wee kids.

the deeper sounds better, but maybe a bit faster for that...

Hello, my name is Wildweathel, and I am a linguisticoholic.

I'd like to offer my services as an accent coach.  I don't have much experience--or actually any experience, but I'm a language geek and I grok things like mergers and shifts.  In the attached demo I

1) Demonstrate my rendition of four accents (including my native one) reading this text:

Please call Stella.  Ask her to bring these things from the store:
six spoons of fresh snow peas
five thick slabs of blue cheese
and maybe a snack for her brother Bob
We also need a small plastic snake and
a big toy frog for the kids.
She can scoop these things into three red bags,
and we will go  meet her at the train station on Wednesday.

2) Give mrguy some unsolicited advice on how to sound more Californian as Jake.

3) Starting at 4 minutes, engage in a bit of what-the-heck-ery and give a certain popular character a valley girl accent.

Because I can.

Enjoy  >:D

Oops, a bit of confusion: who's playing Tobias?  Ken or Anitiger?

I don't have time to listen to this right now (11:16 on Christmas Eve!) but it looks like it'll help. Thanks, and I'm sure you can help out with other stuff, too. And as for Tobias, yes. Anitiger is Ken.

Ok.  Now that makes sense.  What was confusing me is that Combat Squirrel is also Ken.

If I may make a semi-educated guess, you're from the Pacific Northwest?

I once met a guy, at a car show, who after talking with me for about three minutes said:
"you're from Portland, Maine aren't you?"  Eerie.

Next up, I'm going to tame my CA-vowel-shift accent, listen to some people on youtube and give some advice on just how much shift to use.  Ultimately, though that's an artistic decision, up to the actors and director.

Morfowt/Lezduet is director, no?

Midwest, actually. There really isn't an official director, though by the amount of work Morf has put in, he ought to be. I founded/organized, then slacked off like everyone else.

EDIT: Just heard the whole thing. I definitely think that this sort of stuff could help. On a side note, I think you should somehow talk to my cousin. She loves this kind of stuff.

That was actually fairly educational (and a bit humorous, with the Tobias part). I don't think I have enough lines out there for you to figure out, but any tips for someone with a Canadian accent who's going to be trying to pull off an Andalite character? lol. If I have a chance, I'll try and do some line tests for Aldrea, but until then, you can listen to my lines for Eva/Visser One in book 5, the dolphin trainer in book 4, and Jordan in book 2.

Aldrea will be odd for me, since though I usually imagine Andalites with a British accent, Aldrea never seemed to have one for me. So I'm still figuring out how I want her to sound. Which is all fine and dandy right now, since it'll be a while before we start HBC.
