Oh I know it. I’ve got the heavy drawl and I’ve taken it around the world with me. Depending on who I’m talking to I can crank it up and get by with some shit. I’ve also got that Texas preacher cadence when I need it. You know the one, you get really excited about something then drop it down to almost a whisper while smiling.

It’s definitely a trick for the snake oil salesman but I’ve seen it so much that I naturally fall into it if I’m presenting. And it fucking works with certain kinds of people.
I know exactly what you’re talking about, I absolutely crank it and pull it back in specific scenarios as called for, my lilt is more on the Andy Griffith/Matlock side of thing’s but it’s wild how much more seriously folks take you when you really put it on

Dude I’m not in the south anymore and it’s kinda wild how far the accent takes you
Surely this powerful triumvirate can’t go wrong
It’s only a duo at the moment unless you happen to be from Mississippi
