Okay so we've got the new Sci-Fi Adventure
'The Galaxy of Mischief'
All right so it's a fictional world so the characters
can sound like anything we want
Yeah so it can be literally any accent?
Yeah very exciting
How about we make them all sound
American
Ah okay
Very good yeah very good
Or you know because because you know
we got a whole universe to work with here
we could make it seem a bit diverse
let's just go through it bit by bit will we?
Yeah let's do it from the start
Well page one we've got the King of Glacadonia
He's posh, he's proud, he's a bit evil
English
Yeah yeah
It's obvious isn't it
isn't it really
But what English accent I mean there's lots of them aren't there?
Yeah well I was thinking you know the
"I am the King of the realm of Glacadonia
and by God I sentenced you to death"
Yeah one of those
is it possible you could maybe consider
a northern English accent?
I'm open to hearing it yeah
I'm I'm the King of the realm of Glacadonia
and that there is treason by-gum
No
Doesn't work
But you know where it could work
is the barbarian hordes
Barbarians
You know what i mean the fur and the...
The assassin
He's wiley
he's sneaky and he's crafty
Is he suave?
Yes
okay French
Done
yeah yeah
What about the Slaplots?
Ah yes the space motorcyclists
okay they're covered in leather
piercings
they're a bit perverted
Okay well what about I'm feeling like some sort of
kind of weird European accent
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah
"I will grant you a safe passage through the Gorgon Ring
but first you must do a little something for me
Yeah
What is that? but it works
I don't know
The Hero
they're likable
charismatic
strong
beautiful
flawed
but in a really sexy way
Generic American?
It's obvious really
yeah it has to be
It's going to work so
The Podites
they live on the Planet Plunklump
Dumpy peasant creatures
covered in warts live in muck huts and eat mock pies
I mean it's got to be Irish really
I was gonna say
Yeah I mean we're not being silly
there's no better accent is there for that?
"We don't have time to be thinking about kings and queens
we're peasant folk
now finish your muck pie"
Yeah no Irish Irish
definitely
Okay well let's have a look at the female character
Oh yeah
Page 705
She is
hot
She is sexy
yeah so
Generic American really isn't it?
Well...
She takes no nonsense
Oh
Latino
Bingo
That's good writing
That is great writing
Great writing
Well the rest of the characters their accents should be obvious
Pretty much
Let's just go through it anyway
The nobleman
English
The priest?
Irish
The trolls?
Cockney
The ogres?
Scottish
The Arms Dealer?
South African
The elderly?
Yiddish
Oh the space Captain
this one is wide open guys so I thought maybe we
could workshop this so the line is
"the hyperspace drive should be operational momentarily"
does anybody want to you have the floor?
The hyperspace drive will be operational momentarily
A bit sinister isn't it
The hyperspace drive will be operational momentarily
He doesn't know what he's talking about does he
The hyperspace drive will be operational
No no
The hyperspace drive will be operational momentarily
What's he done to the hyperspace drive?
yeah again
The hyperspace drive will be operational
The hyperspace drive will be operati...
The hyperspace drive will be operational momentarily
Yeah it works
It shouldn't but it just works
Well I think that's everything
But we still need an accent for our main baddie
Oh yeah
Gentlemen
there must be some mistake
we have this room booked
for a conference called with Munich
Ahhhh
How about something from the Middle East?
Yes
Doomdah
We are the Poddites
I am actually a Slaplot
I'm the Regal King of the Glacadonia
You can't pick that for yourself
