| Are these for the purpose of selling to non-Brits right? "Being British is supposed to be classy and surely not associated with Trump as much as being an American"? That might work, but not for selling to Brits because they expect some sort of a local accent. Universal/unlocalised voice does not sound natural or believable to them. |
