I need to stop being surprised by the fact that you guys have American accents. It's not like I don't know you're American...
I always thought that when Jeb says he isn't supposed to be there, he means that he's not supposed be in the dungeon with the birdkids, not that he's not supposed to be in Germany.
I speak loudly during conversation, but quickly, and generally it's all over the place too. If I'm randomly asked a question, or haven't said anything for a while, then it's really soft. My phone voice is quick, too high and sounds overly cheerful.
