Just accidently came across a casting call for voice actors for some indie game and every character is listed as requiring a "British accent", so now I've got to have a mini rant about that phrasing because it low key annoys me every time someone uses it and I want to vent. What exactly *is* a "British" accent, anyway? Do you want to be more specific, guys? We actually have a whole range of various accents here in the UK! Do you mean 'BBC British' or a 'London' accent? You probably do, because those are usually the most commonly portrayed in media that reaches outside of the UK. But, for instance, I'm from the North East, so I sound very different from either of those. Same as someone from Yorkshire or Manchester or Liverpool (and so on) all sound not only different from that, but different from me... but every single one of those are still a "British accent"!! Don't marginalise regional accents, hypothetical person who I'm ranting at. Regional accents (from any country, not just my own) are varied and wonderful and should be more widely known and appreciated!
