British Accent Voice is Hilarious (Please Change it)

[JobyJudd]

The accent is so far off the mark that you start to think it could be a sophisticated joke but, it turns out it is how other countries think we Brits speak.

WG obviously used the same guy that voice-overs the Pirate accent, Big Fail!

WG, please change this accent you call British, get a British actor to do the voice, Damn, even I will do it for you (FREE).

Well you should hear the german voiceover same crap xP

I totally understand, even thought to me (being English British)  it would sound perfect, maybe the pirate guy did the German accent too.

[fnord_disc]

The German guy just sounds a bit overly dramatic and implausible. I don't like him, but he's fine, I guess. The "British" guy is just really bad.

Company of Heroes 2 has the best British voice actors ever

The lines are just hilarious.

I was hoping for something similar for Wows

Actually I think that the Co of Heroes isn't so bad - the Keanu Reeves (Dracula) and Marlon Brandon (not sure) were dreadful... (first post)

You can add the French voiceover to the list of craps ...

[Admiral_H_Nelson]

This is the British voice we need in WoWS (and this line should be included somewhere as well - maybe after a detonation)

They should have a French lady doing the English voice overs...with a French accent...that would guarantee a lot of people (Guys) playing RN ships...

Has anyone got a list of the required phrases? I dare say someone in the community would gladly record alternatives. I certainly would.

​That's absolutely fantastic. I should've played more with the Brits in CoH2.

Just imagine your captain going on like that in battle. Jesus christ I'd laugh my brains out every battle.

[Deckeru_Maiku]

At least they don't have him speak pikey

I watched/listened to the Voice/Video above.... Exactly how the British accent should sound, you hit the nail on the head with that. 

[fnord_disc]

Oh man I love that movie.

[GhostRiderMax123]

Could be worse you could always have a somerset accent like me . An amusing side effect of this is that due to my ability to speck fluent German I occasionally get asked to do so at party's ect because unfortunately I can not do a German accent so when I do speak German its with a somerset accent and for some reason some people find this amusing........

 

For those of you who don't know what a somerset accent is

 

 

my accent is quite similar

I would pay money to have Michael Caine voice my British captains

[Surmaaja]

Someone needs to make this happen. Eyes front you bloody wankers

 

[DominusEdwardius]

Wouldn't that mean every single message would be bleeped out if Wargamming did it

 

[Shagulon]

WoWs British voice acting seriously annoys British people (who are probably the ones who would want to use it the most).

[HatsuzukiKaiNi]

It's pretty damn poor but it's not the absolute worst i've heard. It will do for now but I'd hope they will eventually redub it.

[Xevious_Red]

I have the pirate voice on permanently. Makes me feel at home with a lovely westcountry accent.

 

If only I could signal other ships with "alright my luuver?"

[DominusEdwardius]

British accent is a bit of a misnomer anyway, I mean each city and county has their own unique accent. Although I really hope they rerecord with a better voice actor at some point and also remove some of the cliché lines.

I would love these voices for British skippers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhRUe-gz690

 

 

Thank you = "You are indeed brave, Sir knight"

Affirmative = "So be it"

Negative = "I move for no man"

Requesting support = "Come 'ere"

SOS = "Come on you pansy"

That was a great battle = "You have proved yourself worthy"

Good luck everyone = "I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me"

$%*#@! = "Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off"

 

Change the annoying citadel sound to = "Tis but a scratch" or "Just a flesh wound"

Also, change target penetrated/bullseye for = "The Black Knight always triumphs!" or "Then you shall die"

 

 Amazing idea right here folks...
