For one thing, anyone who is playing D&D is already out as a giant nerd. So what do you have to worry about? Let it go. I can do two accents “properly:” middle eastern seaboard USA where “wooder” comes outta the tap instead of water (wanna guess where I’m from?), and Triestine Accented Italian. (Wanna guess where my family is from?) I can also generally do most regional American accents that I am familiar with, but Brooklyn and Boston always end up cunfuzzled for some reason. 🤷♂️
I just died Sposta. Wooder. YES. I have a sneaking suspicion I live in the same part of the country where you're from.
As for actual, helpful responses, I agree heavily with the idea of using mannerisms/body language/behavior as a way to emphasize your characters. It will help ease the tension off of any voices you attempt to be the sole indicator of the character and hopefully that will make the process of voicing them easier and more fun.
I also agree that the voices are not necessary and you can have an amazingly immersive experience without them, so if it all proves too stressful you should feel free to drop it knowing it isn't some campaign ruining move.
