Oh does anyone have a good voice sample for the other female voice acto Not alixr?
In case some of you haven't seen this, there's a new gameplay video with a female dwarf and she has the american accent.
You can listen to her talk at 2:42 and 2:57.
And here at 5:52.
I was thinking about choosing the american accent for my female human but I think I might go with the british one after all. I can't see the american voice fitting my inquisitor, it's too deep.
British, without a doubt. I need to be sophisticated!!!
I'm going with the American accent for my human inquisitor. I like her deeper voice. The British accent voice sounds too similar to Hawke. Just my opinion.
P.S: I did love her voice work as Traynor, though.
I am from the UK so i will defiantly pick the British voice
From the US, but I'll be going with the British accent. I find the female British accent attractive.
I'll mute the TV and read the subtitles in my Sean Connery-impersonation voice whenever my Inquisitor talks.
After listening to Sumalee on the latest videos I'll definitely be going with her for my first playthrough.
Probably what Bioware intended. That means American for tougher races and British for weaker ones. Specifically, Qunari and dwarf get American and human and elf gets British. Bioware has said that those are the default voices for the respective races, and I see no reason to deviate from that. After all, the American voices in DAI sound a little too tough to fit a human or elf, and the Brit voice sounds way too soft and posh for a Qunari or dwarf.

I disagree really. All voices can be made to work with all races.
The American voice can work for all four races, especially since Qunari, Elves, and Dwarves have spoken American before and Humans can speak American... on Earth 
We don't know what accent Ostwick humans speak so they don't necessarily follow the Fereldan style. Kirkwallers spoke like Fereldan but Starkhaven was Scottish. Ostwick can be anything.
The British voice only appears to "fit" for Humans and Elves because Elves speak a Britannian accent in DA2 and Humans in Fereldan have always spoken British.
Qunari and Dwarves may sound weird, but the former being Vashosh and the latter being a Surfacer, they could have developed any accent depending on their place of origin. Granted it might sound out of place if you meet your family and they all speak the default American.

Personally, I'm going to always stick to the defaults because it's what I'm most comfortable doing. Although, I might switch up and have Humans use American once in a while.
american for both male and female... I like it that they are a little deeper then the british ones.

Yup the dwarf is a surfacer they could of lived and been raised in Fereldan same applies to the Qunari since they are vashoth hence why british an option for them. Of course you are going to have to design the character so it matches a bit more just simply make a more younger character that's what I am going to be doing.
Just like Leliana being fereldan blooded but being raised in Orlais she has an Orlesian accent same goes to wynne son Rhys he was raised in Orlais he also has an Orlesian accent even though both of his parents are from Fereldan.
Hell my native origin is Africa but was raised in britan and a british citizen my mother has an African accent but my accent is british heh back in the day in secondary school some of the other black kids were wondering why I had a british accent. XD
I'm a lore nut, so I'm picking whichever voice makes the most in-world sense for my current Inquisitor. That means the American voice for my first, a dwarf, and for my qunari. My human and elf will of course use the English voice. I might develop preferences for one over the other over time, but I always stick to what feels most in place, otherwise it's just going to bug me.
Mind you, I'm glad they're letting us pick, regardless of what's common in-world.

It's not the accents, it's the tone. The American voices in DAI were intentionally casted and directed to sound tough and deeper than the British accents, and that was done on purpose because the American voices were meant to be the voices for 8 foot tall Qunari. That's why I said the American voices sounded tougher, too tough to fit a flimsy human or elf. The acting isn't why I'm sticking with the setup I mentioned, the actual voice is.

Well considering when we first saw Qunari in action during E3 they used the female british voice so any voice can fit. Just gotta make your character slightly differently instead of making him/her like a "tough guy/girl"
I will even link the video
I personally believe its up to the player to design the character in a fashion to make either voice fit and here the british voice fits just fine for the tall and "tough" Qunari in my opinion.

But tones are independent of stature. I know a 5 "5 twink (like..an elf) who sound like an American Newsanchor 
I suppose it's subjective though. I'm following the same setup as you by the way, but only cause it's what I feel comfortable using.
The British one. The American voice sounds too much like a Space Marine.
Traynor voice actress. Traynor was awesome in ME3
I'm planning on going human male, followed by qunari male, then elf female, and finally dwarf female. So I'm probably just going to be canon compliant so I get to hear all four of the VA's work.
First time around I'll go Ferelden classic with English for a male human warrior. Second time around, American for Qunari female mage. I'll probably opt for English with a female Elf third time around.
Considering the length of the game I have no idea where I'll find the time for those hundreds of hours, but even if it takes me all year I will have my multiple playthroughs.
I think Sumalee's voice will work best with 99% of my female Inquisitors.
Brit Female.
I like the deeper tone of the American voice but after watching some of the streams, her voice feels too expressionless in some scenes.

Too tough to fit a human? Odd considering it is a human making the voice. Not only that but human males can have pretty damned deep voices. Also tough is how you act not how you sound,lol.
This is the voice of a 14 year old kid.
