REQUEST: Do you speak BBC English?
on: October 01, 2006, 04:29:57 pm
Hi folks,
Fot an upcoming FSPort release I have a role that would be best suited for someone with a good BBC English newreader tone.  Please let me know if you or someone you know has such a voice and would be willing to supply it!

Thanks! :)

Err, what's BBC English?

The accent used by news readers on the BBC, which is quite clear and distinct.

BBC used to use Recieved Pronounciation, a very posh and 'correct' accent. Nowadays newsreaders have regional accents, to avoid sounding too posh and distant and because RP was pretentious anyway.

I kinda have a posh-ish voice, in that I don't have a silly country-bumpkin burr, but there may be some hint of Welshosity.

Interested in voicing a couple of dozen lines for Destiny of Peace? :)

Used to use? Is it only the past now? I have BBC on TV and I think it's pretty much the same RP that they have always used.

BBC English???

I'm from the Home Counties of England, so I might qualify! :D

Where do you want a sample sent? :D

Sorry for the necroposting, but I've only just got a working mic on this machine and thus it's my first time checking the voicing forum. :)
