And does this unfairly paint them as less agreeable than they would be if you presented what they said with a normal voice?

What is your goal? To debate (convince) or to humiliate them?

If you do it in real life in a debate with your adult friends, you will be seen as a failure. It's immature and speaks more of your weaknesses. Because you're actively mocking the person, as opposed to attempting to have a conversation.

Doing it in real life to mock someone is acceptable. You're not having a debate or conversation. Your goal is to insult them.
