Today I was trying to describe the way a person talked. There is a woman who called for a business call. She speaks as if she is from another country. A country from Europe. Apparently she is not. She had me fooled. What is the word used to describe a person who uses a fake accent? Also what is the word to describe a person who uses a voice to sound like they are elegant and rich? It is a fake way of talking. Another person of a higher level talked to her today and she did not talk like that to him. She spoke normally, so I realize this is fake.

This is not when people are acting in a movie or a play. This is when people use this in real life.

I cannot remember these words to describe this and it is bugging me. Please help.

In my new novel, I've created an artistic term coined "Literary Art" or "Lit Art" for short; it's defined on taking a piece of literary works of art in writing, like a poem, and interpreting it into pieces of art like painting, photos, sculptures, etc. Let's see how many creative answers for "Literary Art" we have here. The most creative, interesting, innnovative and unique one is awarded 10 points. (P.S. If there's such a thing as literary art, please let me know along with the definition or meaning of it. If you also want me to categorize this until arts and humanities-other or painting, let me know too. This can work both ways.)

I am writing a story and I want to be very specific about a certain character's eyes. I have written: "His glowing, golden-brown eyes had a spine-shivering effect." But I am completely unhappy with this description. Any suggestions from the creative writers out there?

I hate people that like to flip questions and change subjects. It gets so annoying because you want to talk about something for more than 10 minutes but you can't because THEY LIKE TO SWITCH THE SUBJECT.
