This has a lot of cool stuff in it (and this dialect coach does other really interesting breakdowns), but what I thought was relevant in this video, and what he touched on a little bit, is how a lot of fake languages are invented in terms of which phonemes apparently sound "powerful" or "scary," although these ideas are obviously not entirely true and euro-centric. My roommate even defended the idea, saying that some sounds are inherently powerful sounding, like the voiceless velar fricative. Hm.
