Diana Quick, actress. I can't find a better example, and even the young girl interviewing her sounds even more like what I'm asking about. This lady did the voice of the Ghost Of Christmas Past in the 1971 Dickens cartoon, but she doesn't really sound the same here. But I am referring to the "depth" of the tone, rather than pronunciation. Not raspy at all, but the opposite. I have heard some British speakers, even women, who have a particularly deep accent.
If anyone knows what I am talking about, or maybe has a better example, I would appreciate any information. Thanks.
I think she just has a very deep, resonant natural voice -- as far as accent, it sounds very "home counties" like those near London -- it's of course different in the film because of the nature of the character, to be mysterious, etc., but it sounds like British RP to me.
Yes! I just looked it up -- she was born in London and went Oxford, so that's about as British RP or "posh" as you can get, short of the Royal Family: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana_Quick
I've heard other people, like in British TV audiences. And even some Scottish. I'm wondering if it's not really an accent at all, and maybe just the "deep resonant" voice. But I can't think of any Americans who sound like it, though, so I think it might be a combination of the general British accent combined with the deep resonance. Like, maybe even a Cockney (?) accent would sound good too from the same person.
