It's a mode of speaking specifically meant to hide the speaker's regional accent to help with clarity. It may help you understand him easier, but it allows you to understand how much of a cunt he is in turn.

America had its own version too for cinema.

But yeah, that "posh" accent is more or less learnt rather than natural. I'm unsure if you use it long enough it just becomes your default or what, but it's like permanently erasing a part of yourself just to sound like some posh pretentious prick. Maybe there's some effect on the psyche by doing that. Mald changed his voice to sound more masculine and authoritative so he genuinely believes that. Same for how adopting RP makes Hayes thinks he's smarter than he actually is.

I never heard of PirateSoftware (Mald) until this Stop Killing Games drama, so I've only seen a few clips of him talking, but my immediate reaction to his voice was that it also sounded put on. It sounded artificially deep/manly to me which fits with what you say. I didn't bother digging deeper then, but since you mention it now, I went and found a clip from 2017 where, sure enough, he sounds very different. Imagine that.


(Also, this may have been discussed already on this thread, so rate me late or whatever if it's redundant)

Found this one on Google, not sure if it will fit your purpose though.

His voice isn't fake his mic settings boost the depth of his voice but if there wasn't any depth then there'd be nothing to boost and it would sound weird. His cadence and general smugness is definitely practiced though.

The Frasier Crane accent. I remember me and most of my friends thinking that Frasier was supposed to be British or something weird since he spoke like that.

One of my older cousins who was a fan of Frasier told me, "No, he's just stuck up. It's a snobby, rich accent."

Ahh, now it makes sense. Whenever you watch tv shows from the 60s and 70s, stuff like Columbo, for instance, anytime there's a rich, old money character on the show they'll always talk like that.

As an audio guy, his voice never sounded right to me—like there was a hollow nature to it. Reminiscent of excessive EQ/filtering. We all know he modifies his voice, but I was curious so I loaded the full ~5 minute clip into RX and looked at the spectrum. I didn't expect to be this right:
hole1.webphole2.webphole3.webp
Timecodes can be seen along the bottom of the screenshots. Notice how there are these huge holes in the mid-range, but only when it's maldy who is talking?

Natural sound simply doesn't work like this. He can't really claim this is some noise filtering setup, since you can see he lets the high-end hiss from his S and H sounds bleed through, leaving this big notch filter-like hole. If anything, his audio has the most high frequency (noise range) content out of anyone on the panel.

The hard cutoff around 15k you see is from lossy compression and isn't anything he did himself.

Edit: it's really quite comical when you zoom out

Sorry for derailing, but this guy is basically Mald 2.0. He's nowhere near as retarded as 1.0, but sometimes the mask does slip and he goes full Mald, but even more smug because obviously:

I think he's got a bad take here, but I've left some extremely rude comments on one of his videos, and rather than sweep it he very politely addressed what I said. I don't believe he's a disingenuous or manipulative individual from my experience.

I can respect that. Its why I have a sort of respect for the people who made dustborn, I've seen dissenting comments, and rather than tons of bans, they allow, and even politely reply. (on steam forums)

that honestly stands for a LOT

EDIT : within the last hour of today, we are making good progress. 25k today, knocking the required minimum down AGAIN.

I always found it strange he used "go back to Reddit" as an insult because he, himself, embodies everything - that "ERM ACKTCHUALLY" fedora dripping faggotry - that people despise from Reddit; on top of looking like he's trying way too hard to make a "le heckin' wacky face" that, tbh, looks like he's got a ferret shaped dildo shoved squarely up his ass.

I hate this smarmy faggot fuckface so fucking much.

That may be it then. Perhaps it's not him altering his voice per se, but something done through the mic. In any case, it just stood out to me pretty much immediately that he sounded artificially deep in the first clip I saw of him (it was a montage of comments he made about Stop Killing Games while livestreaming).

Never thought I'd see another Mangs fan on the farms. I find it very funny that even mentioning his name on the advance wars subreddit will get your message deleted cuz hes an alt right chud or something. He also thinks wargroove sucks which is also a plus.
