    • @codyfloydactor
      @codyfloydactor Před 4 měsíci +81

      That’s a cultural thing specific to them. Everyone’s native dialect has a specific tempo, resonance, etc. Physicality has a dialect too, whether generally or regionally just like pronunciations, or slang, etc. The way someone carries themselves from Germany is going to be completely different than how someone will carry themselves if they were from Italy.
      So no, he has just as much charisma. You’re just intellectually prescribing that vocal variance and (for him) accent to equal up to “a lot more charisma”.
      But now you know!
