That's funny ... several years ago Colin called me on the phone, and he commented that my voice was NOT as low as he had expected. He said he thought I would sound "more butch!" : D > to me the person with the most nearly perfect british accent on the > list is john van tiel -- and he is dutch! I agree. That reminds me of when I lived in Germany ... some friends and I walked down the street from my apartment to a sandwich shop, and the young woman behind the counter was so pleased to discover that we were Americans because she could use her English, which she had learned while an exchange student in the U.S. She then proceeded to speak with a VERY pronounced U.S. Southern accent. It FLOORED us! Turned out she had studied in Kentucky. And she wasn't the only European I encountered who spoke as if they had grown up in the deep South. It's SO strange to hear. > of the canadians, mags has the most delightful sounds. That's true, okay. ; ) Lori
