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?
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
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.
Episode 1 of Lower Decks?
No, of Buffy.
Both?
Both.
Both is good.
Or, you know, Far Beyond the Stars.
Also...
Armin Shimmerman had a recurring role where he spoke without Ferengi teeth in.
Have you never had those cheap plastic vampire teeth?
