turning his native Welsh accent into whatever is required
by a character. He duplicated the voice of his late mentor,

it would be troublesome as I would have to get them here and train
them. So I was not really happy. Then I decided to do something
about _________, who was hiding in my mind for a very long time."
So started the entire exercise of doing computer graphics on his face.
