I’ve just voiced my first advert in a West Midlands accent. I grew up in the area but spent years trying to develop a more “neutral” sound, so it felt strange to revisit it. But, the client was happy and I proved I can still do it! The campaign is for the West Midlands Big Drink Debate, and it’s running on Unity FM in Birmingham.
Doing this job set me thinking, so I’ve been musing about accents on my Gobs on Sticks blog this week…
