Jeff "Swampy" Marsh, a storyboard writer for ''Rocko's Modern Life'', described Alazraqui's normal voice as bearing "no accent at all". Marsh describes Alazraqui's "Scottish accent" as "one of the best" and that he performs his other accents as "all very well".

He had worked for the {{W|Disney Channel}} on ''[[w:c:disney:Handy Manny|Handy Manny]]'', where he provided the voice for Felipe, the bilingual {{W|List of screw drives#Phillips|Phillips-head screwdriver}} and for Abuelito, Manny's grandfather.
