minus-square@frankPodmore@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglish11•9 months agoAs someone with a fairly ‘strong’ London accent, I personally love the Southern US accent. I don’t know why we don’t all speak that way. Supposedly, Scottish accents are perceived as more trustworthy and that’s why most financial services ads in the UK have Scottish voiceovers! However, all this is down to culture and personal taste. I don’t think one or the other sounds objectively better!
