Then it was introducing the Russian, with some of the rolling “R” sounds. And if you notice, a German accent sounds very choppy, almost like every word has a period at the end of it. First, I had to get a German accent down, before I could start adding other accents. It was a lot of pressure, and I had to kind of break it down into stages.
