List Of your favorite Custom Perks

Accents?
I wonder how one would develop a Linguistic Talent but limited only to accents. I don't even know if normal Language Talent would or should include it.

There are some interesting youtube videos by linguists analyzing movie actors' attempts at such things.

Of course shibboleths being very important to real world spy detection.

Which also relates to your androgynous voice perk. It's not overt, but men and women talk slightly differently even in English. Not just in pitch, but in word choice and certain intonations. For example, around here and back in the 90s, the only people I heard end statements with a questioning tone were female. It's common now for both genders.
