Am I the only one who finds places like these just plain weird?

Well, I'll admit the original Japanese form of maid cafes are a bit... over the top. Most of it centers around having attractive wait-staff who act out some sort of weird submissive maid fantasy for a bunch of lonely otaku customers. Still, the American version seems a bit less creepy...

I agree, I hate Hooters.
I understand the concept of maid cafes, theyre cute girls who act happy to see and serve you. The outfits are fun, less trampy then some others you see. But still, I cant swallow the fact that I know they are simply playing the part for a healthy tip.
I prefer to maintain my regular status at a few local places, where I know the staff appreciates my company, coming over and chatting even when not assigned to my table. Thats what makes me feel good about eating there. Not simply getting fake attitude and attention from a tip digger who will abandon all forms of good service at the slightest scent of a poor tip.

I can think of worse things than having attractive waitresses being flirty with customers. If you've ever been to Chicago, try and look for a diner called "Ed Debevic's". It's a 1950's-60's themed restaraunt where the waitstaff dress up like weird characters and are rude to you... No, seriously, they'll act all sarcastic, make fun of you, tell you to get your own drinks if you want a refill, etc. It's all an act, meant to be entertaining, but if you don't go there knowing what you're in for...
[Edit] Found some footage for y'all...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ws0hgUWJ7ig
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEkupNfUv8s
There's also tons of videos of the waitstaff dancing on the counters, which they're also quite well known for. Just search "Ed Debevic's" on YouTube...

While this topic seems a bit dusty, new blood brings new responses. So as to keep from arousing suspicion from one of my younger followers on YouTube, I had to make an entirely new account to upload my video of what I think Samuel might sound like. Also included is a picture of the Malayan tiger whose stripe pattern tickles my fancy most for the ex-assassin's face.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIlubh-0xH8
And in case you may wonder, it is my actual voice. I'd love to do voiceovers for all the male characters of Bon Bon, but my vocal manipulating talents are impaired by certain sounds I have difficulties pronouncing properly, "ch", "sh", "s", and "tr" sounds being the primary ones. |

(well, look who's jumping on the bandwaggon late  )
Feingo's voice is rather gruff with a very heavy New-England accent. ( For those of you who don't know, New-England accents often consist of words slurred together and the letter "R" always dropped. For example: Helluva day fora walk in the pahk, aint it deah. )

No Mr. Gray, I'm afraid I'm also guilty of such charges. I've been in these places before, and to me, there's nothing weirder to see than an eight year old boy celebrating his birthday with the family at Hooters. (just about choked on my drink when I saw this)

if i had to assign marx a vioce it would most likely be something masculine and serious sounding... i have been playing resident evil 5 alot latly and i really think something like weskers vioce is the best comparison
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZt4qQvprDA
the video is alittle longer than is neccesary but i think it will help to show you guys what i mean.

Cassandre's voice is mid-range, and she has a French accent, softened by her time in England, but when she's drunk, or angry, its almost impossible to understand her, becasue her accent is so thick.
Sorry, no examples, but the opera is beautiful.

All we need is to get someone voiced by Gilbert Godfried.

I don't know, Randy doesn't see like he's from Brooklyn to me.
Also, I have to say that the "meet the spy" is by far the funniest.

Pyro for me thank you. Can't wait for them to release that bit of movie.
I've also pondered about group shots of the various members dressed up as the Team Fortress 2 characters. Red vs Blue, but in our case, Men vs Women.

I've been having real trouble trying to find someone who quite fits what I have in mind for Tadelesh's voice. Every time I think I've found it, I find someone else who's closer to what I had in mind. I thought Hugh Grant, or the guy who voiced Shere Khan in The Jungle Book, or Jeremy Irons, or Alan Rickman. My original thought was Hugh Grant, and after discussing with a good friend who I met in the game where I created Tadelesh, she agrees he'd probably be best suited out of those I've found. The others are all too serious, whereas Hugh can do lighter, silly stuff.
Here's an example:

What about the voice actor who did the panther, Ian McSchane?

Ian McShane didn't voice the panther, that was Sebastian Cabot. The voice of Bagheera doesn't really fit. However, Ian McShane played Tai Lung; that voice fits. So now it's either Hugh or Ian.
