Make a list of your favorite words or ask followers to send you their favorite words and read them off one after the other?

Anything's fine, I've been fishing around for stuff I think would work with my voice, but stuff that doesn't work could prove funny too. Just nothing too long since I don't want recordings getting too long!

idk if it's just me but I find long lists of random words amusing

So just a single word each?

yep, maybe with a little different flourish on each one

rabble

moist

hamper

coliseum

twenty coliseums

hehehe. moist.

I would say moist most seriously! Yes.

give it that slightly salacious edge

ladies

also say salacious

D-do I need to start doing commissioned suggestive recordings, or is that after I've established myself?

wait a few months

Phantasmagoric, verdant, coquettish

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a

Ah....maybe talk about influences?

or even just little reviews about stuff you're reading/watching/playing

Oh yeah, I have a lot of those... I mean there's the obvious voice actors and then a bunch of people I've grown up with.

I could do a review on voice acting in games I've played recently too, that's applicable.

oh yeah! have you played any good games lately? stuff like that.

Yeah just play into your strengths and interests. Not a lot of people know about sound design and voice direction and the like.

influences would be really nice

reviews are always good to listen to!

there's also a few memes that float around that are like, "dialect memes"? like how you pronounce "aunt" or whether you call them sneakers/tennis shoes

Oh I love those!

Oh yeah I should practice dialects like Pittsburghese!

lmao oh my god I would love to see you try

siddawn, get a can of pop n' at an see you rilly try yer damnedest

jeet jet?

Oh man change of plans just write me a script in Pittsburghese

You should just write a simple introduction that you ask your followers to translate into their local dialect and see how you fare speaking them all haha

I'd be just awful-- I'm so bad at holding accents

That just makes it better

I'll live up to my Katsucon 2014 Retrodynamics badge and learn her native tongue

oh my god

I knew it, you are trying to steal my identity. You fiend.

It will all be mine, powers so divine

woll you'll hafta try harder than that if yinz want to rilly live up to my name.

Dani 2.0

Mecha-Dani

I hope you at least have the decency to add rockets to my robo double

Hell yeah. And wrestling boots and butt guns

Booty got me like "AUGHHHH WHY DID YOU SHOOT ME"

Why doesn't aigis have butt guns

This is a shadow asks related question

that's a good question. By arena she has those giant hammer space guns so...there's really nothing to prove that she doesn't have butt guns

Dedicate your next recording to famous butt guns in media

I can talk about butt guns in Pittsburghese for 2.5 minutes

I can guarantee that you would be the first person to ever do so

you gotta time that for when your followers are used to you giving advice or talking about personal inspirations/passions then just hit them with a single bizarre recording of butt guns in a weird accent

And now for something completely different

exactly

At some point when I actually learn the intricacies to your accent, I'll try typing in it, but alas

if you wanna cheat a little there's a translator for until you lean the ins and ahts PITTSBURGHESE .com

I've lived here all my life and I think all I've really picked up is warsh and garage

also apparently crik is pittsburghese?

Yeah, crik, nebby, jaggoff, jagger bushes....gumbands. I never realized that wasn't just general american slang until I talked to people from other places and they just "????" at me

You Pittsburgh people are serious, oh my god

Our silly words and football is all we have to keep us sane

Yinz*

Now you got it

My car fell into a crik, could yinzes help a guy aht?

gumband

Oh wait my friend has told me about Jagger Bushes before

wait

They stick to you and stuff

other people don't call them jagger bushes?!?!?!

what else are they?!?!?!

Thorn bushes!

that's boring

Yeah I think Jagger is just thorn

jagger sounds more fun

though I keep reading that as Jeager

too much attack on titan going on

would yinz quit jaggin' around already

Got moves like Mick Thorn

Could you call someone a Jagger like you call someone a Prick?

Oh no, you call them a jaggoff instead. they can be jagging around or be jaggoffs, but I've never heard just jaggers. (and it's not to be confused with jack off!)

It's basically just a generic substitute for "idiot" "asshole" "dumbass" so you can use it in lots of contexts

Whoa, I need to be careful

I should record my brother doing his attempt at pittsburghese

WAIT

Pittsburgh Dad

I don't want to be caught jagging off!

there

enjoy all the pittsburghese you can handle

It doesn't sound as overwhelmingly different as I thought, although it has some country twang to it

yeah it's a little midwestern but it's not really that noticeable except in some exceptions where they sound more....Brooklyn-y?

Yeah, when I first saw you write it out it sounded Brooklyn-like

It's certain specific words that get changed, but otherwise it isn't too much!

I'll listen to more, it's good research

Lmao your Pirate accent

But "The Cats of Ulthar" by H. P. Lovecraft

It's really short, but oh so fucking good and very "don't mess with cats"

Since Lovecraft LOVED cats.
