British Accents
Recently it has come to my attention that a lot of American TV shows have someone with a British accent. I have to admit sometimes it drives me crazy how fake and over exaggerated they are. I just don't know what the obsession with British accents is? For example my husband's cousin's husband (confusing I know) is a film major here at BYU, he was telling me yesterday that he needs a narrator for his movie, and those he work with insist it much be a British accent...Why?
Please enlighten me!

My husband and I actually want to teach our children to speak British. After watching enough Jane Austen movies, Bear Grylls, Horatio Hornblower, and anything with Hugh Grant, we have decided that British accents sound more sophisticated... and cool :) "Hello there!" "I'll be back at 4 to collect you." "I need to use the loo." "Indeed I do sir!"
Because it is soooo soothing to listen to!
I don't know why but Americans (including myself) just think that British accents are just the coolest. There is a girl in my ward that has a British accent and I just love listening to her!
havent the foggiest, but if it makes you feel any better, we do (over here) know (or at least think) that the easiest way to get laid in america is to have the our accent. that probably won't make you feel better about the whole thing though lol.
narrating a movie sounds cool...id defo be up for it though im in england lol ^_^
