Hi All,

Yvonne’s British Accent is the same as the one she used in season 4’s vs Agent X meeting Mamma Winterbottom. I wish her ever success with this project and upcoming ones such as 24.

Thanks

Sean

In reply to Russ. Yvonne has seemed to have lost most of her native accent. Just listen to her past interviews and the accent was there. As time went by, it was getting less. Was it done on purpose? I don't know. So my guess is that now she's forcing her native accent and it sounds a tad fake. But seriously, I don't care. She's an Angel. :)

In reply to Mel. The movie was certainly filmed in Australia, but the character Terra is British. I know she said so in an interview at one point (which I cannot currently locate...). In my opinion, the clip you provide above confirms it. I think she sounds quite different than she does in interviews.

In reply to Russ. Is the scientist British? I thought she was Australian.

Just a quibble on the observation about Yvonne using her “real accent.” She is Australian but the character she is playing in I, Frankenstein is British, so the accents are, in fact, different.
