## Assorted vocal glitches

### Dee

* Inputting a "ya-i" sound will cause Dee's voice to dip a bit. This effect seems to be rather inconsistent and will not always happen.

### SAM

* Perhaps the most famous vocal glitch on here, putting too many of the same syllable on the same line (for example, putting over about 30 "ha's" or "weu's" in a row) will cause him to make a jarring staticky hissing sound. This phenomenon is called "tone stacking", and is rooted in SAM's expression/emotion calculations being unable to handle that many syllables.
