He unironically is; the Ferengi made that series.
Yeah, who else is even up there, some simple tailor??
The Klingon merchant on Tulgana IV definitely has the Lursa and B'ETor sound going on, I'd be surprised if the voice actress wasn't wearing Klingon teeth

His fake Ferengi teeth, which effected how his voice sounded.
Oh really? It makes that big a difference?
Yep. Ever watch Buffy? Listen to a vampire talk before and after they vamp out. It's the same effect.
Have not watched Buffy, no. But I believe you fully. Just didn’t think it was a big deal for voice but… at the same time I’m quite face blind so muffling and costumes don’t usually impact my ability to recognize someone. So it’s low-key amazing to me the lengths some people go to
Well, if you're curious, I'm pretty sure you could hear it about 2 minutes into episode 1. Then you could just keep watching because it's about equally amazing, and made in a very similar spirit to DS9.
Episode 1 of Lower Decks?
No, of Buffy.
Both?
Both.
Both is good.
Or, you know, Far Beyond the Stars.
Ever watch Buffy?
