What accent do you read the characters voices in?

For some reason I read them in a english accent like harry potter. Anyone else do this?

I do too, and I'm South African, not British ... lol

I've got Andorans as your standard English speaking American. Illianers, regrdless of profession or gender have become the pirate language (arrgghhh matey). I have the Seanchan as (I know this isn't politically correct so sue me) immigrant chinese who speak broken English. I have the Aiel speaking proper English but with a Japanese accent. I have the Mayeners speaking with an Italian accent for some reason. Berelain is all sexy and I always thought Italian women are sexy. Borderlanders I have as being a bit more formal, so to me they have the British accent or French (something hoity toidy).

Well I have Andorans down as English. In fact I read pretty much all of them in the English accent being English myself.

 

I’ve always thought the sea folk should have like a Jamaican accent. That accent is sick. ;D

I'm English so read Andorans and most characters speaking with a normal English accent. I hear Illianers as people from the West country (farmer accent) and the seanchan with a New Zealand/Aussie type drawl, even though RJ said they talked like texans.

 

They just don't sound right with an American accent to me, but that's just cos I'm not American :)

I hear Two Rivers folk speaking with a non-specific Irish accent, and most rural places (especially in Andor) having an Irish/West Country/Welsh deal, getting progressively more English the closer you get to cities, with the Nobles (of most countries) having those reeeeeaaaalllly propper, upperclass British accents.

 

Most the accents aren't specific or identifiable.

Jordan's specifically said that Domani's speak with an Indian accent, Illian with a Dutch accent, Andorans with an Irish/English accent, Saldeans with Egyptian/North African accents, Tairen with Spanish accents, Aiel with slavic hints in their accents, and (BRACE FOR IT) Seanchan with Texan accents. I like to give many of them southern drawls and I read Tuon's Seandar accent as if she were a southern belle.
