I thought his accent came from the fact that his mouth had been injured

Funny how most Aussies and Brits say it's cockney, but most of the North Americans say it's Australian.

I lived in the US for a couple of years, and it was a 50/50 chance that they'd think I was Australian when I spoke (apart from the one bizarre woman who asked if I was German!) -- I suspect Hollywood is to blame for only exposing them to a limited subset of regional English accents, in the same way they think we all live in castles and drink tea with the Queen.

Isn't that a running joke or cliche on TV and in movies? That Americans think actual English accents are Australian? Only Fools and Horses springs to mind. I didn't realise it was so true.

It's either cockney or Southern working class. I dunno, my Granddad has the same accent.

Well then your Granddad has a badass accent . I agree with the OP, Zaeed's voice actor does a terrific job.

[Wintermist]

Definately sound British to me.

English accents are diverse, I can't help it if I confuse them with ex-English colonies.

He sounds like Kano from the Mortal Kombat movie.

American accents are diverse, I've never confused a Texan for an Australian

[KalliChan07]

To agree with the majority of people.



Aussie accent >.>;

I know a few people around here who have confused Louisiana Accents with French accents. I also know people who think I'm Russian, so it might just be the people I hang around have no ear for accents, including myself.

He sounds South African if you ask me. It's too southern to be British, but it doesn't sound totally Aussie either.

[Kyero]

[angelus2402004]

Zaaed's va is the same guy that played Ethan Rayne in Buffy.

'tis true. Some people think a Welsh accent is an Irish accent and think a West Country Accent is the same as a Manchester accent. We have so many accents, and there are at least 3 Aussie ones I've heard. New Zealand accent is essentially a variant of Aussie, but can only be used while wearing a rugby shirt.


But American accents are so diverse that it's impossible for an outsider to tell them apart. Don't even get me started on the Canadian accents.

He has a Southern (Greater London Area) accent. Whoever said Australian hasn't heard many Aussies speak. Obviously.

Maybe you're getting confused with Miranda?

Also, I AM English, so my answer is 100% correct.

Ron Perlman has played everything from a demon to a french strongman, and he even does the narration for the entire Fallout series.



Badass accent.

[Dave the Seagull]

The standard way to tell if it's Aussie is to see if it sounds like the person is asking a question.


Miranda definitly contends for this.

[Mobiusmikel]

Just another East end cockney, the usual export for English accents... I live in London and i hear those muppets yappin on all day long. Thankfully im from Birmingham. If you want to hear a true cockney videogame accent then play Crysis: Warhead.

We had a Welsh wood work teacher and everyone swore he was Scottish, he didn't like that too much. :happy:

North New Zealand accents tend to sounds very similar to Australian accents but the further south you go the less they sound the same. I was over in Auckland at Takapuna and Cromwell down south just recently and was struck by the changes in Kiwi accents. I thought they all just put the "frush fush un the chully bun", I was wrong though.

[MrGOH]

It's a Southern English accent. I'm an American and I figured that out. His vowels aren't the weird shortened South African versions and his inflection isn't Aussie at all.



But it's not surprising Americans think it's Aussie, since some of the the differences from American and Southern English are the same as the differences from American and Aussie, so we hear them as similar.
