top deepening his voice when talking to mew's moms... gun speaking higher when talking to cher's mom... i love these choices
#also in both cases i'm pretty sure it's force's natural register lol#and he does it with such precision like i would NOT be able to modulate my voice like that#i have a relatively deep voice (for an afab woman) and i have a creaky pnw accent so i already speak lower than i should#like when i try to speak higher it just gets pulled down by my accent djfljdlsjg#it's kind of a miracle i can do thai tones/japanese pitch accent#tangent: TBH PITCH ACCENT IS ONLY HARD BECAUSE NO SENSEI WILL BOTHER TO TEACH YOU FOR SOME REASON#IF I HAD LEARNED THE PITCHES WHEN THE WORDS WERE FIRST TAUGHT TO ME I WOULDN'T FORGET THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHOPSTICKS AND BRIDGE#also re: thai tones. honestly i think the consonants are harder to replicate than the tones#like the difference between lover listen and goodnight are really hard to catch and i'd probably fuck them up#BUUUUUUT i'm so bad at Ds and Bs stress me out#you have to put your tongue in a completely different place on the roof of your mouth for D#M and B blend together#Ss turn into Ds (SOMETIMES) but american Ds because you're cutting off the breath rather than actually hissing#the tones are just like memorizing a song but you don't really have to hit the notes you just go up or down#(i know it's a little more complicated than that but you know what i mean)#(the point is that i don't have to relearn where my tongue goes lol i already know how to speak higher or lower)#ofs liveblog#abaab liveblog
