Never hurts to play a storytelling bard, if you can't sing or you're shy. :) Or, if you want, a bard that thinks they can sing but can't.. Or a bard that casts spells through interpretive dance.. Dungeons and Dragons is the best kind of game to go nuts

I’m currently playing a Wild Western styled character and I was making him speak in the Ozark English dialect because it sounded like something the “cowboys” would use, I didn’t know it had a name until I watched your video and now I can look up new phrases for him to use so he isn’t reusing the same 3 phrases over and over

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Glad I could help!

[@catboysephiroth560]

I used to have a REALLY bad stutter, to the point where I wouldn't be able to communicate past the first three words of my sentences. I went to speech therapy, and since I've gotten into DnD I've decided to try DMing. I have several characters who have stutters, stammers and clutters. I personally don't find other people imitating speech impediments offensive, I like that they're somewhat normalized in DnD. I'm delighted that you demonstrated speech impediments.

[@nickwilliams8302]

Quite aside from the fact that this video gives practical tips that anyone can use, I just love that you realise that "voice acting" is a different thing from "roleplaying". Just a really practical video. Though with Baron Vallakivich, I personally went for more of a manic screech. "All will be well!"

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Thank you! Yeah, there's a lot of different ways to play the Baron. I went for someone who *feels* in control and acts like it, even though that's far from the reality of the situation. It worked well for him, right up until he and his wife were hung over the town walls.

[@hellfooliver1497]

Exactly what I thought

[@Gworgalad]

Amazing video. Now that I'm DMing over video it's become a lot more comfortable to use voices. Controlling breathing is also a good tool especially for monsters. Undead sound great on an inhale. Maybe someone nervous is not taking pauses and always at the end of a breath. Someone holding back secrets takes a deep breath and speaks slowly hardly exhaling at all.

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Those sound like great characterizations. If I do another voice acting video, perhaps I'll go into character-specific examples like that!

[@Angelo609]

I have a stutter, but I never try to do one for a character of mine. Not because I or anyone at my table finds it offensive, I just can't remember where to stutter. I think of my own stutter is random, so it's very hard for me to fake my own without being dramatic. Btw, great video. Should've probably said that at the beginning, but seriously great! Most video are gender specific, so it's hard for me to just find basic tips.

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Glad I could help with the basics! I've never known anyone who stuttered, so that's my best effort to replicate it based on my readings.

[@maxrequisite]

Why would someone get offended for something that you already have?

[@TheMightyMime]

i personally will never do a stutter in my game, because the shit pisses me off enough. Plus i might start the stutter voluntarily and end up stuttering either way. So a lot of not fun for me.

[@tillyqtillyq3750]

Yeah, I got to that part in the video and was like _yeah I'm not gonna touch that_ because I used to have a stutter and I have an irrational fear that if I reteach myself to stutter I will not be able to stop :S I also agree that for me and my brother (who still has one) it feels a little more random than that.

'this worked really well on The Witcher show' lmfao im dying

[@DeadDrunk2]

As someone with chronic stammer, that tutorial was incredibly accurate. Typically, the consonants which require a lot of air or breath will be the ones where the vocal cords will tense up ig. H, M, S, T or P also known as Her Royal Majesty's Toilet Paper. Really nice video, well done!

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Lemme know how it works out for you!

[@primeemperor9196]

I would like to add something to your list: Airway control. Using your lungs, throat and the back of your tounge, you can create a sort of raspy voice, which I love to impliment. If you sharply cut off and force your air out of your throat, you get a voice that kinda sounds like Tiberius Stormwind from Critical role. Using the back of your tounge and your lungs and a faint Australian accent, you get a variation of Grog Strong-jaw. Doing all three and forcing your words out can make any voice sound like they're severely injured. I did this with one of my characters when he was dying. (His death caught the entire table except for one off-guard.)

[@arthurnogueira3528]

I mean seriously, this was simple and very well done. I could see/do the changes immediately! Thank you !

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Glad I could help!

[@BobWorldBuilder]

Solid, practical tips and clear explanations for how and why people speaking the same language can sound unique! Like you said, the variations we call impediments should be used sparingly and not for laughs, and I think you did a good job of showing how they actually work 👍🏻

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Thanks, Bob!

[@devon-jay655]

You know... This is actually really useful. I look at a ton of other video's on a similar premise and it usually just sums up to 'be more confident, and use mannerisms' rather than any actual voice control. Neat!

[@Brack_86]

A more accurate way to do a stammer is to restart or slow down words halfway through. It's most often about the sounds trying to fall out of your mouth all at once and having to correct yourself instead of just repeating a single letter at the beginning. "Let's op- ..opeN the dooor and get, get under the tAble" is a very natural way to stutter through the example in the video. (Caps for possible emphasis) People stammer more when they're under pressure or trying new/too elaborate words and phrases. Imagine trying to read a longer drug name with no practice and rushing before anyone can correct you (people with speech issues are constantly talked over so there's pressure to hurry through). A way to make this work is mispronouncing something halfway through and restarting either the syllable, word, or whole phrase to get a clean take. "I found something called 'bensa-zo-benzodiazeph-' - I found a bottle of 'benzo dia zepine' in the other room." Is a convincing and considerate portrayal of a common type of speech impediment. (Yes it's broken into 2 syllable chunks on purpose)

[@alexismcneill6296]

As a singer who matches voices I naturally shift accents and actually most of these other techniques depending on the voice im singing to. Like when singing Queen you can litterally just throw your top jaw forward to mimic Freddys overbite and it actually naturally makes your voice sound more like his in terms of both pitch and pronunciation/accent.

Your 'even the evil ones' voice is the kind of NPC I would fall for in every campaign LMAO Thanks for the advice! I'm gonna DM for the first time in a few weeks and I'm a nervous wreck!

[@Scorpious187]

I started a campaign in December where my players started out helping to build up a small village. The village was founded by a couple people who were half-elf/half-orc, and thus both elves and orcs hated them. The leader is a guy named Sheg, who's a bit of a noble type, so I gave him a sort of British-sounding voice with a slight lisp. I also lowered the pitch of the voice and shoved my tongue as far back in my mouth as I could, along with moving my jaw to the side slightly. The result was a character who sounds like a cross between Sean Connery, Jimmy Stewart, and Grog Strongjaw. Lol.

[@CJ_F0x]

I'm quite used to doing voices, be it for whatever but usually D&D and I kinda ran out of ideas. That is until I found this video. Simply by revisiting a few basics I've got a whole new cast of characters ready to go for my next campaigns. This was nice.

[@i-amproxy945]

This is great and has given me thoughts on how to refine my character’s voice since I play a male tiefling sorcerer but being female I can’t reach the really low notes so I tend to make you for that with changing up how I speak and using a rather exotic sounding accent and dialect trips to help make the voice have a bit of perception of being male though I have a lot of work to do and often you’ll find as you do one particular voice more and more it will change and develop into its own thing overtime which is a benefit of having only one character to worry about unlike dms but practice makes perfect.

Thank you very much for this video. As a beginning DM who's never been great at doing voices, this is incredibly useful to me. I've tried all the techniques and wrote them down.

Now if I could just keep myself from using the wrong voice after I've switched characters a few times..

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Thank you very much!

[@politelynefarious]

Suppressing air in different portions of your mouth or throat is another great technique. It will avoid the strain of pushing on your throat and vocal chords if you're doing a gravelly tabor, and can be used to achieve sounds like 'helium'. Run a bit of controlled air through your nasal passages and atypical 'snob' tone is achieved. This is an excellent video- basics are perfect building blocks for more complex sounds. I salute you, Sir! Your DMing is clearly accompanied by a vast and diverse cast.

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

That's an excellent tip. I'll have to figure out how to describe that mechanically for a future video.

[@JChappee]

I find it so fun to play characters with different voices. Thanks for the tips!

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

[@BurntCharmander]

At about 17:00 about accents it’s not instinctual at first but after you do it a certain amount then it does. For anyone trying to practice accents I recommend using it in normal conversation so you get the experience of having to do the accent without a script

[@xaosbob]

Good, practical advice that covers the linguistic side of the craft? Where have you been lurking all this time? Your writing and editing on this (my first video of yours) are really succinct without leaving out anything important. You seem like a natural teacher, and the hobby ALWAYS needs more of those. Nice work, man. Subbed.

[@kzeriar25]

9:56 I'm almost certain that If you don't have a tongue, you can't speak at all (or at least your phonemic inventory will be DRASTICALLY reduced) and by the way you also don't need your lips for all plosives, just bilabial ones

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

Yes, you're absolutely right on the plosives. That was a bit of a simplification on my part.

[@tillyqtillyq3750]

I have always struggled with making voices in my games but these tips are helping me out quite a bit! I'm genuinely taking notes on this as though I were in school. That said, my note taking did lead to me having one gripe: it doesn't feel like speech disorders are really in the same category as articulations and pitch. Like, doing a lisp sounds like an articulation done for a single sound, whereas stuttering sounds more like a mannerism. Different speech disorders don't really have anything physically in common with each other aside from the fact that they get in the way of communication. Compare that to articulations in which every articulation follows the same basic idea. Feels to me like speech disorders are more useful as an inspiration of how to utilize the other techniques rather than a building block. Anyway, thank you for the great video!

Great video!

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

How about an evil warrior that IS a shy little girl?

[@Scorpious187]

One thing you can do for that is to talk slower when voicing evil characters. Often when I voice evil characters, especially highly intelligent ones, I have them talk slower and more drawn out than my other NPCs. It gives them the feel of the narcissistic entity who believes like they're better than everyone else.

My stammer happens mainly when I'm having an anxiety attack. I'll repeat whole words several times before I can say the next word. I stutter on consanants like S and T as well as the harder ones like F, M, P. Sometimes I just give up talking when that happens. When I try to duplicate it it doesn't sound anywhere near as bad as the real deal. I also don't stammer in German. Only English. Sadly, while great advice, some of these techniques (specifically with the lips) don't change my voice that because my lips don't move near as much as the average person...especially the left side of my mouth. I've also instinctively practiced a lot of these techniques to pull off different voices for years. I used to want to be a voice actor. Still do, to an extent.

That's great! How'd you do?

[@HirundoArvensis]

Thanks for the video, I hope to be able to test those techniques! I speak fluently 3 different languages, each from a different language family (english, italian and polish) and I do change my accent completely when I switch language, so much that I feel like I'm speaking with a different voice.

[@LunchBreakHeroes]

That's awesome! I'd your can switch between those, I'm sure you'll do great.

[@FireallyXTheories]

Yeah, I feel the same when I try to switch a Japanese voice to English. I think cultural perception/knowledge has something to do with dialects too? idk, I'm not fluent in Japanese, but I've studied the language for a few years.

I've lived in the south for most of my life, but I don't have a southern dialect. What's interesting about that is that I didn't WANT to have a dialect. I never say y'all and ain't without a forced sort of exaggeration. That said, I sometimes can't help but have an accent. It wad easy to reject the dialect, but I had trouble rejecting the accent. I think that the main reason boils down to the difference between accent and dialect. It is a lot easier to change the words that you say than to change how you say them. It is also easy to not change the words that you say. Dialect is not directly influenced by those around you; it's more of a choice or habit. Accent is much more easily influenced. What I'm trying to say is that a character can have an accent without a dialect, and a character can have a dialect without an accent.
