How Does This British Accent Sound?

December 10th, 2007, 17 Comments »

I was just listening to one of Slate’s excellent podcasts, and it opened with a new promo for Land Rovers. The voice-over actor has a British accent which sounds a little peculiar to me. I wouldn’t definitely say it’s fake, because my ear isn’t good enough, but it sounds a little odd.

Give it a listen:

Does that sound legit to my British readers? Or anybody else who has an ear for accents?
