The average person’s voice doesn’t necessarily vary a lot while they’re talking. It’s more likely to when there’s an emotion involved.
But your “not a lot” is “a fair bit” for a Dutch person.

That is rather unsettling!
…and Discourse is giving me a lecture again, but I’m just gonna ignore it…
…but really, can we turn off these patronising comments from Discourse?

So nice to put a voice to an empty cup-a-tea

nope. I got it right. But that’s because Milan is a pretty common name for my kids’ generation these days.
And I’ve had 4 years of German in high school, so even your last name ist ein Stück Kuchen.
Hey !
I’m not old! I have experience!
I’m not creepy! I’m just shy…
And I’m not sure whether I am man or fish…

You can see it in this video. She’s on the more animated side for an American and he’s a bit laid back for a German but it properly illustrates the general principle.
“Looks like you’re only talking to @Someone. Looks like you’re only talking to @Ema. Looks like you’re only talking to @tasse-tee.”
All of that within only about five to ten minutes. I think it’s trying to tell me you’re all the same person and I’m the unwitting guinea pig in some weird experiment.

I think you mean ein Kinderspiel. 
Fun fact: in Dutch the expression is dat is kinderspel, no indefinite article.
or better yet: “a little egg. With two fingers up the nose.”

I think a walk in the park more or less translates to German (Spaziergang), doesn’t it?
Isn´t there a literal translation for Kinderspiel, too? I mean because of the “Child´s Play” movies (where I suspect a pun).
your pronunciation of “je gaat naar bed” sounds like you’re not a native Dutch speaker? Or are you? Your last name certainly is Dutch.
The funnier thing to do is using literally translated expressions in other languages so they don’t make any sense at all.

Haven´t thought about that. I´d have to think about some expressions that are typcially german…
Awwww

I think it´s cool, too. I mean I know quite a bit of the forum regular voices due to the TwP phone book. But still there are others (myself included) who did not submit back then.

you know, the way you stress the ‘g’ sounds like someone who’s started taking Dutch lessons for a few weeks now. Your American English sounds pretty A-O-K though 
I mean the Ghostbusters laugh with the excessive digital “noise” is unsettling. Because of the “noise”, not because the voice is too expressive.
I challenge you to switch between Dutch and English on the spot like that, lol.
