ouch...that stung... klink...and me... well maybe the hair we have in common...^^

he talks with a harsh saxon accent... *shudders*

me i am from berlin... we have a way stronger dialect than the more melodic sounding saxons...^^ also i don´t sound by all means like a barking colonel^^

but i do take that compliment very dear, jake^^
*bows humbly*

I just don't know many Germans in Germany anymore! I do love the way the frauleins sound when they speak though! Goosbumps!

Well, in my defence, I hold you "visually" to a higher standard, being the figurehead of the League and all.

close catch on that one jake^^

you think german ladies sound sexy? hmmm... actually for me a slight italian or spanish or for that matter a russian accent is very goosbumpworthy for me^^

^ +1 i melt for the soviet accent

LOL...DG^^...that together with blue or possibly green eyes^^=krypronite^^

Pretty much good looking woman with any foreign (to me) accent will make me week in the knees.

But German just sounds forcefull, and authoritative, and makes me want to do whatever she says!

lol....we have a sexhotline comercial here... late in the night of course...on tv... and it is mostly black and then the woman says after a whiplash cracking...:RUF! MICH! AN!...

which translates in : call me!...but with a very demanding tone^^

I just got shiver up my spine! *sudder* Do it again!

ROFL....

Yep, that's good for me, I have to go home now.

"Honey? Take the kids to Grandma's!"

Later all, I really do have to go. Have a great weekend!

Speaking of Soviet accent:




I'm pretty sure I can do it better, than he do



And speaking of demanding women:

i dunno...but i watched the german and the russian coaching vid...and whenever he starts to talk...better make that try to... in any accent he starts sounding gay... he is not sounding that way when using the mere british accent...strange...

and that was lucy lawless...man... she could use her whip on me any time...^^

Aye, Lucy Lawless is the etalon of demanding women in my mind... She's one of the sexual heroes of my teenagehood - I remember watching Zena on TV nearly every day after school.

As for the accent... Cliche is cliche. E.g. I've never spoken like this, though I definitely have some kind of accent.

looks really awsome

absolutly... melting wouldn´t say the half of it what she coudl/would do to me^^

Ah, Lucy, she even made for a nice touch as a Cylon too!

Yeah, I do happen to sometimes do a cheezy fake accent when doing my Khadrovians, or other silliness which it suits, like old Yakov Smirnov jokes.

lol...that was a good one^^

I strive. of course Ishkatar can help enlighten us more but I have also heard folks from Russia who had nearly nothing in their speech to indicate more than that they were simply not from America.,

I wish to, but, you know, I don't speak in English with Russians that often
Also, most of my friends speaks English much better than I do. At least in terms of pronouncement =/

Yakov Smirnov is a hilarious guy, indeed.

@RW:
Thanks, mate!



PS:
Oh, look, that's my 300th post... Time to yell something with multiple exclamation marks! Ah, whatever...

LOL...oh and here for pure celebrations use... some of my leftover exclamation marks "!!!!!!!" don´t use them up all at once tho...

Well, Mr. El Vic, I just can't miss it:
"Multiple exclamation marks,' he went on, shaking his head, 'are a sure sign of a diseased mind."
(c) Terry Pratchett

And Vik sure loves his exclamation marks in his titles of threads! LOL!.

Linked to that voice coaching, I do have one thing that helps me with working on a "Russian" accent, I have that deep, flat voice already. I did some recording, and did a slight change, some found it creepy to their ears, but I did it for a enviro vid.
Now there is a bit of voice to the handle.

i think i have a slight malfunctioning pheset atm but iirc your voice sounds a bit tweaked... but nevertheless i see, again, that you have a very deep and colorful voice mate...

and i really liked that movie...even tho it was rather full of sad facts... that my kids will one day ahve to tell their kids that there used to be an ocean full of fish...then all gone...that is not how it is supposed to go...

and the naming of planet ocean...sets the perspective a bit clearer...


at ish... hehe... mascerade... i know that^^ and thats exactly why and when i use that kind of puncuation for a reason^^

It was only me tweaking myself just a little, otherwise that was ll me, and no machinery!

well..you actually work atm with your voice... if not i would have recommended that to you^^

Well, I am hoping for an actual paying career for my voice. That was a free donation to the organization.

i was more referring to your current workings...^^ i know that you are interested in enviroment issues...

Ish surely with that much body armour the coat is simply to disguise the armour?

So he is newly 'revealed'.

That suggests his head should be something acceptable to civilians.

Maybe a hat like D the Vampire? Who is awesome.

Or a cyborg skull showing through a wound on his skull? Ie disguise ruined, thus he now bringing out the firepower.

Only other reason i can think for the coat is protect the armour, ie acid rain type atmosphere.

Hey Iskatar, the gas mask is excellent, nice work .

Shas, that's the deep voice indeed. Sounds a bit mechanical, but good nonetheless.
Beautiful movie... And terrible at the same time. The way we treat our planet makes my humanistic nature all tremble and shatter inside me...

This music video comes to my mind:




@El Vic:
This particular quote was from the Eric, but you're right - there's one very similar in the Maskerade. In fact, there are a lot of jokes flowing smoothly through every Pratchett's book. Not that it's something bad...


@Loricatus Aurora:
Yeap, the coat is here mostly for decorational purpose, yet, it's a good protection from scratches, dirt, water and other enviromental hazards, which could lead to paint chipping, rust and other damage.
I like your way of thinking, but his pelerine demands hood from my point of view. Similar to this:



Though I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

@Neil101:
Thanks a lot, mate!

Anyway... Sorry, fellas, no updates yet. I've been pretty busy for the past days and managed to make only a basic shape for the new mask. I hope I will dedicate today's evening to work and will be happy to present some results soon. Stay tuned!
