I've read comments about and have heard what is alleged to be the voice over for this DLC squadmate. I doubt that the voice we're hearing will be the final output.  With the exception of the Asari, each Alien race has a distinctive quality to their voice.  See below:

Turians - flange
Drell - gravelly flange
Salarian - Sped up and staccato.
Volus and Quarian - breathing apperatus (and some Quarians sound Eastern European or something...)
Vorcha - beastly rasp
Batarian - lower register/ modulation
Krogan - lower than batarian and a sort of bellow added.
Hanar - Etherial reverb
Elcor - Low register monitone
Legion - 1010100010101001001
Yahg - Krogan + Drell

So, odds are that the voice you've heard is the raw input, and not the final, processed output.

That being said, what do you think it will sound like?

The voice of the new prothean squadmember is legit. No changes will be made to it by the time the game comes out. And a Prothy with a African accent IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! like you stated, all of the races have some special thing with there voices, why can Prothean have a African accent. It like people are racist just because prothy doesnt speak like Vigil. Vigil was an A.I. not a real Prothean. Mass effect needs more diversity in the voice cast (I swear if I hear another alien that speaks perfect English with no accent I will...)

[NM_Che56]

Quarians sometimes sound Czech or Iranian, and Shepard sounds Canadian. Who cares! LOL!

I just thought they would add some effect on top of it to make it more alien. You're sure they're not adding an effect over it?

[The Tesla Effect]

Maybe they will add some more effects to the voice like what they done with Garrus but I doubt they will change the voice actor and accent.

[Han Shot First]

The hilarious thing is that some of the people complaining about Prothy's African sounding accent, probably romanced Tali and think her Eastern-European sounding accent is adorable.

I bet the voice and accent will lend itself well to additional processing!

Kal'Reegar sounds American
Han'Gerrel sounds British
Shala'Rann sounds Iranian

I know it's because of the nationalities of the voice over actors, but I wonder if Bioware is going to weave an explanation for this in the Quarian history. LOL

I just head canon it as Kal'Reegar and Han Gerrel speaking different Quarian dialects, and the universal translators (or whatever they're called) just making them sound American and British respectively. Tali on the other hand is actually speaking the official language of the Citadel (what Shep & company are actually speaking) and so has the more 'exotic' sounding accent, since she isn't being translated.

Honestly, I am going to be sad the day I learn his name. I will miss calling him Prothy the Prothian all the time.

As for the accent, it was...surprising when I heard it but it is kind of clever. Africa is the cradle of humanity, so I find it cute that the big progenitor race for this fiction gets an African dialect.

Americans, British, and Iranians are all human. Quarians should have regional accents - perhaps linked to the ship they serve on.

[AxisEvolve]

I'm not sure if you listened to the Prothean video that was just him yelling commands. But in the extended one you can hear the added comb filter.

If you think about it most of the alien races would have more regional accents than humans. Humanity has only recently begun colonizing space, so even the accents of colonists born on other worlds would still sound like the accents of people born on Earth. Shepard lives in an era where there is only one generation of humans that have been born on other worlds. The parents of colonials were immigrants from Earth.

But civilizations like the Asari or the Turians have been exploring space for thousands of years. With so many colonies having native populations that have existed on those worlds for hundreds or thousands of years, those colony worlds would have also developed regional accents and dialects distinct from those found on that species' homeworld.

His voice is great, especially when he's talking in a deep and menacing tone.

PROTHEAN.

I could instantly tell that the Quarian's VA was Iranian, since I am too. I was like: "Ah! She's Iraaaaaanian!" Loved it. 

[demifiend]

Where can one find the voice of the prothean? An African accent sounds like a great and original choice.

That one is low quality and doesn't offer much perspective.

Try this one instead.

I like it. Some filter would be appreciated but if not, I won't complain.

YEP! House of Sand and Fog...

I heard the one of him barking orders. If there is one where there's an effect, then I'll wait until the game to hear it.

[Reapinger]

The sound file has a deep reverb to me... His name is Javik by the way.

[Core_Commander]

This voice... the accent makes no sense.

We heard a Prothean speech by proxy of Vigil, and the command console on Ilos in ME1 ("cannot be stopped!"). It sounded nothing like that.

I realize the unfortunate implications and possible cries of racism, but I would be just as dismayed if his accent was, say, French or distinctively British - simply because it has no similarity whatsoever to Prothean speech so far.

Humans have thousands of accents. But Protheans can only have one? Thats pretty unimaginative.

Protheans are also spread across the Galaxy. Think how much this would make their accents be even more distinctly different.

Protheans studied early forms of humans on Earth. Early humans came from Africa.. SURPRISE! The Prothean speaks in an African tongue.
