Meant to ask this earlier, but how odd does the accent of the narrator sound to native-US ears? (when I first listened at very low volume I just assumed he was an American, but listening carefully at full volume it's fairly obvious he's not)
- djur 4y agoNothing about it jumps out to me as obviously "not American". It's not a distinct regional accent to me but that's very common. It sounds mannered, like a TV presenter who has worked on developing a recognizable voice. What stands out to you? EDIT: The voice actor who performed it is Australian. I'm not hugely surprised to learn that. Australians seem to be pretty good at credible American accents.
- wizofaus 4y agoNothing "stands out", but as an aussie myself I could hear particular vowel sounds (especially the 'ee' in sunscreen, after "One tip for the future") that were a giveaway.
