The dude is a legend. I'll always remember the smile on his face when the interview coordinator read my comment out loud "Quark is the best character in DS9".

He unironically is; the Ferengi made that series.

100 percent. Sisko just does not work for me - but Quark is the reason I keep coming back.

His laughter feels so fake

Yeah, who else is even up there, some simple tailor??

The Klingon merchant on Tulgana IV definitely has the Lursa and B'ETor sound going on, I'd be surprised if the voice actress wasn't wearing Klingon teeth

What does this mean a mouthpiece? I assume something to adjust the way they talk vs the output but can someone give me some sort of example of a difference of like… what does it do?

His fake Ferengi teeth, which effected how his voice sounded.

Oh really? It makes that big a difference?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. Ever watch Buffy? Listen to a vampire talk before and after they vamp out. It's the same effect.

Have not watched Buffy, no. But I believe you fully. Just didn’t think it was a big deal for voice but… at the same time I’m quite face blind so muffling and costumes don’t usually impact my ability to recognize someone. So it’s low-key amazing to me the lengths some people go to

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well, if you're curious, I'm pretty sure you could hear it about 2 minutes into episode 1. Then you could just keep watching because it's about equally amazing, and made in a very similar spirit to DS9.

Both.

Both is good.

Or, you know, Far Beyond the Stars.

Have you never had those cheap plastic vampire teeth?
