I wonder if any of our Forum Regulars fall within that happy band⌠
Maybe some of us should have a âtry outâ. I imagine my East London/Essex accent would go down a treat 
Young grandson reckons I sound like a âstrangled-squirrelââŚor so he told me when we stayed there last year⌠I think it was something to do with a school project, that gave him the idea of that particular endearment.

Anna⌠how did you get to hear about this ?? What is it about⌠???
Iâm glad someone asked as I have no idea what an English voice talent is.
I thought I remembered correctly.
A conman jailed in 2013 for duping elderly victims out of thousands of pounds has resurfaced with a new money-making venture, the BBC can reveal.
Carl Mould, 52, from Nottingham, has been posing as voice actor Edward C Harwell, offering to help people make money from audiobook narration.
It is estimated he has taken ÂŁ100,000 in 18 months from dozens of customers, one of whom was left feeling âa foolâ.
Based in Birmingham apparently. Just be careful if anyone asks you to send money to âget into the businessâ.
Hello Stella,
A potential client in France has asked me.
It would be super if it all goes ahead.
Thanks,
Anna Louise
I reckon my Franglais Ă la mode Sellers would go down a treat here Stella !
Hey Mandy, maybe a bit of Fools ânâ Horses for you ⌠bonnet de douche, frapper mais oui

Hello Anna, forgive my levity.
Will be interesting to know exactly what your potential client is seeking. I thought that most actors belonged to a union, had agents and cvâs stating if they do voice overs etc;
Anyway best of luck 
Hello there! I wouldnât touch it without a down payment as thatâs too risky, and any potential client has to sign a contract as well.
Best,
Anna Louise
Iâm more of an âapples & pearsâ and âdog & boneâ sort of girl. My Dad used cockney rhyming slang all the time. He wore a âwhistleâ to work, kept his handkerchief in his âskyâ, his money in the âfishâ, combed his âbarnetâ etc etc etc. He deliberately lost his cockney accent over the years as he climbed the ladder at work but never stopped using the rhyming slang.

Well Mandy we were born not too far away from each other. I was born in Kent . My dad was âworking classâ and proud of it. He always used to say â I donât know why you always have your head in a book, you were born working class and thatâs how you will stayâ. No good arguing that I wanted something a little different, to him women were there to bear babies etc; etc and mum wasnât allowed her say !
Thankfully attitudes have really changed for the better. I went on to further education and the rest, as they say is history :
I think that is why I so dislike âlabelsâ now, we are all different and that is what is good âŚ
Just as a last thought, my dad was always coming out with âobscureâ at least in our house, bits of poetry, donât know where he got them from, but along the lines ofâŚ
He who on the lighthouse lingers, counts his death on all ten fingers⌠Charge of the Light Brigade and loads more , strange times, wish he was there sdo I could ask why !
