Date: 2006-07-25 05:13 pm (UTC)That's interesting. Is it because in this case form trumps content, so that the accent doesn't matter, or should indeed be English and not American? Of course, I probably prefer an English voice even for "ordinary" popslash, but that's because (don't tell the US people!) I'm not very fond of any American accent I've ever heard :-)

Date: 2006-07-25 06:31 pm (UTC)For most stories, I like to try and 'hear' the voices in the authentic American, but I can't read them aloud that way. Best I can manage is a bit of vowel-mangling and pitching it high for Chris, low for Lance. This is okay when the audience is British (or European, probably!) but I'd feel all wrong doing it that way for Americans...
I set myself quite a task when I had a sparkly weekend here, 'cause I read Jae's (utterly wonderful) The Earl of Rothinghamtonfordshire to everyone, *ten* voices to contend with instead of five, eek! And I know that Brian and Kevin have a distinctive accent, but I can't speak that way. :-(
