I have a movie role coming up and I'm supposed to speak in tongues, it's actually supposed to be demonic tongues but I'm a little iffy on going there with this post because I really don't want to open myself up to a huge religious debate... Anyhow... I have seen videos on speaking in tongues but it's really not that helpful to me, does anyone have any advice on maybe what kind of language I should be studying or what kinds of syllables I should be using or sounds?

if you look twords the bible it will tell you that in ancient times speaking in tongues was the only way to spead the word of God. That is before enough people from differnet back grounds learned it in order to translate. once they obtain translaters there was no more need to speak in tongues. So mostly now adays the people you here speaking in tongues is assumed to be demonic. I guess what I'm saying is if you want it to look authentic you might want to see if you can learn a few words in maybe hebrew or another ancient language. Or just fake it like a lot of people in church probably do and talk giberish. Not sure if I was any help..LOL.

Thanks! I was thinking that maybe I can just learn a bunch of swears and insults in Persian, Hebrew, Arabic, and any other languages and just start spouting those off. What do you think?

an ancient demon would know an ancient language. if you could learn just a little in aramaic, or latin. latin seems to be a popular language for demons, in media.

Sorry, not famous, but I'll still be your friend if you want. It's an independent horror that I'm playing in, but it's my favorite kind of movie so it works out well for me!
