#like he has a really deep voice with the valarin/ainur accent but doesn't have the ainur echoeyness

new headcanon: Maglor is the only elf ever with a natural Valarin accent.

feanor is canonically-to-some-versions one of very few elves fluent in Valarin and his linguistics phase happens to line up pretty well with maglor's birth. obviously he wanted to do a valarin language acquisition experiment and just so happened to have a convenient test subject/child. nerdanel didn't mind because it's cool and not going to cause any long-term problems, so baby maglor ended up learning valarin as his first language.

Later, his voice's uniqueness was partially due to the very recognizable Valarin accent
