Voices

Don’t worry. I am not going to talk about the voices in my head (just because they’ve been extremely quiet lately)

This is just a very simple post to talk about my favourite male voices in UK at the moment.

Needless to say, I love the British accent (especially the Home Counties one) having spent all my learning years in these places. I don’t particularly like the American one. The Australian I find interesting, and the New Zealand one I find very cute (together with the South African one, although I struggle to understand it more)

There are lots of different accents in the UK (same as in Spain, really) and out of the “famous” ones, I really like the Liverpool one (Scouse).

However, unless the accent is very pronounced and noticeable (like Scouse, Geordie or Glaswegian) I still can’t tell accents apart and wouldn’t know where a person comes from based on their accent alone (I can do it –roughly- with Spanish areas)

These are the three voices that I enjoy listening to the most in England at the moment (there are probably more, but these are the three that firstly jumped to me)

Tom Baker, of Doctor Who fame, but for me better know due to his voice over in Little Britain.

Alan Rickman, known to everybody as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films, he is a very successful English actor who has played “the baddie” in many a Hollywood film.

Jimmy Carr, comedian apparently born in Ireland from Irish parents but raised in the UK.
