When did Joanna suddenly become an American? I liked her British accent!

Crash · 09-09-2005, 06:29 PM

lol... good point

Jonbo298 · 09-09-2005, 09:26 PM

Poor Rare...what happened to you

Dyne · 09-09-2005, 09:45 PM

It sounds like they wanted to use Jen Taylor/Cortana as the voice of Joanna.

Lame.

She is hot, but she needs to pull off a british accent. Pronto.

Show me the screenshots, give me some spoilers, I'm not going to jump through their bull**** hoops, wasting my time with some story I don't care about to try and find out about their games.

Maybe she got her british accent between the game Perfect Dark Zero and the original Perfect Dark.

After all this is supposed to be a prequel.

you dont just DEVELOP another accent once you're past the age of 10-13 or so...(thats just an estimate)...so that wouldnt be the case

I believe it's more age 12-16* but I could be wrong too.

Edit: holy crap. What are the chances I google specific keywords to a literally global search and come up with results from my very own university? Hrm.

You can develop an accent from living in another country nomatter the age.

My sister lives on British Military bases in Europe with my brother-in-law, and she's picked up some of the accent. She doesn't even sound Canadian anymore.

She moved to Europe when she was 22 or 23. Thats well above 13, and 16.

That may be true, but have you seen anybody going from the flat, standard accent you heard in that recording to Joanna's posh, upper class lilt from the N64 game? Of course people's accents change, but the kind of change we're talking about here would require some training.

Which, come to think of it, she could have gotten being a spy and all...

Anyway, I still like her voice better when she's British.
