I know Doctor who and accents and sociolinguistic identities and stuff are very delicate things and . etc etc Shot Dog disclaimer. But I do think a Kiwi accent master could change the game
#there are actually parts of new zealand which have some similarity to scottish english phonetics. i once tracked down the difference#while listening to an olympics sports announcer.#and like. the master has literally been American that one time. we can survive.#i know people mostly treat kiwi accents as Funny / Silly and like. i get it its the feeling it arises but also Not Very Respectful#but like. this is not just bcuz of that! I find them rly pleasent to listen to. the inflection stuff is just as central as the vowel shifts#theyre engaging!#could be fun ok.#missy2 has a v English accent though. and like a rather modern one. something in the middle between working class and more 'standarized'#come closer im a normal real person like you :)#eighteen isnt Sure what is her Natural inclination and is over-managing and over-fretting it#so she slips wildly between australian and british and straight up old movie transatlantic#the last one is her masking and the second one is like.#so im an esl speaker but i learned english when i lived in the us at a young age#so i have a recognizably vaguely american accent but its a bit Off and if i think about it too much while talking it starts getting messy#or like there are certain words and phrases i fumble around with / reveal some of the subtler bits of my native accent#not big constonant stuff but adjacent vowels and stuff.#18 sounds like an uncertain / inconsistent performer tasked to Accent but actually People Are Inconsistent in their sounds.
