My interpretation is one actor with three roles.

God the Maker, God the Incarnate, and God the Presence

Seems like the best reflecting of everyone I've heard try to put down a legitimate explanation.

Plus these epithets don't confuse people into accidental arianism by implying god sired himself.

It might not confuse people into Arianism, but it would confuse people into Modalism

Not necessarily, the epithets themselves don't suggest that this is one person switching between different settings, not anymore than the more common epithets.

The metaphorical description works better if you consider it like a TV or Internet situation where the same person can be playing multiple roles in the same scene.

What I'm trying to say is that Matt Mercer running a conversation between multiple NPCs is basically god, /s
