To All The IW Brits-Annah's accent.

Galadria · 04-03-2002, 02:32 PM

Some of you know that I am playing PS:T for the first time. I have just acquired Annah, (and a great NPC she is, too) but got to wondering about her accent. Now, I had assumed that it was Scottish, but Attalus says Yorkshire. Who's right? I know you Brits can read more into an accent than we Texans.

Oh My God You're From Texas!? I Never Knew!!!
*Tries To Fit In*

"Umm..." *Ahem* "Yeeeehah! Ride 'Em Cowboy! Time To Go Cattle Rustlin' So Ah Can Git Back To Ma 'n Pa For A Deeelumptios Steak!! Mmmmmmmmum"

I'm not sure what late-night cheap movie you might have been watching, but I live in Texas and know no one who speaks in such a manner.

On the phone, 99% of people with whom I speak would never guess that I am from Texas based on my accent. Anyway....you forgot to include "y'all" in that sentence.

Micah recently sent me the Annah voice-pack for use on Sunday mornings but I haven't listened to it yet. I'll do it when I get home today and try to place it; perhaps I'll even get close to the correct regional dialect/accent.

Scottish. At least that's part of the bio for Sheena Easton, who did the voice.

It's Scottish! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Though she dosen't ever say "ach" as for as I'm aware, just the occasional "aye".

WHAT! A Scotts Person Who Dosent Say Ach!? Thats A Down Right Sin! Kill Her!!

She's not actually Scots. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Though what Tiefling is doing with a Scots accent is beyond me...

Oh yeah, decipher this accent.
I (pronounced 'oi') am a far-mur, and I owns a gurt big farm, in those hills over thar.
Who (oo) wants a pint (pronounced 'point')??

Sheena Easton did her voice? Get out! The things that you learn if you just ask. (Smacks Binky) Where did you think that thing in my sig meant?
