Hi Bec, The people I have spoken to sounded like I expected them to, I think. I'm not sure if I sounded as they expected, though. Gwynne

Hi Bec, Posh Warwickshire - I've been told! - with a hint of Welsh. I have quite a deep voice for a woman so that comes as a surprise to some people I guess. If CB's around ask her - or Claire in Cov. Gwynne

BC - light and silvery? lol I know we'd had a few drinks but not enough to distort my voice! I'd say I sound clear, confident and classy (lol at the last bit). Bc has a lovely soft voice with an Irish twang!

Claire

Claire Report 20 Nov 2005 18:35

Gwynne speaks very nicely. :o) No particular accent I don't think, but then I didn't think I had one until someone told me I sounded like a 'right Midlander' (and there are a few different accents in the Midlands so I don't know which one they were thinking of)! So perhaps Gwynne sounds like a 'right Midlander' too! I wouldn't say you had a deep voice Gwynne, just soft. Can imagine you commanding a classroom full of unruly kids though. Dunno why. Must have the right tone of voice! I never really though about how people might sound. For some reason though I think Paul (from MK) will have a South African accent because I have a friend from MK who was originally from SA so I associate that place with that accent! Claire xx
