| Estuary |
Nicky, the narrator from Wake Up Happy Every Day. His Estuary accent here is slightly more pronounced than the one I actually used in the book.

This is actually quite a restrained Geordie accent, as Myles Hagen is in formal mode, speaking to a superior officer.
From The Ghosts of Africa.

A mixture of Yorkshire and Lancashire. Mayor Bastable and Jonathan Bing, from the fantasy novel The Elfin Ship.
|

| Northern English 2 |
Another extract from The Elfin Ship, in this one, Dooley is definitely more Lancastrian. Jonathan Bing remains stolidly Yorkshire.

|
MP3 | |
| Lancashire |

The Dwarves of The Elfin Ship tended to have a deep, rolling Welsh accent; and none moreso than Ackroyd the Baker.

A variety of Welsh voices provided by characters from Under Milk Wood, as picked by Terry Jones in his preface to Dylan Thomas: A Centenary Celebration.
|
MP3 | |
| Scottish |
Robert Burns' famous poem An Ode To a Haggis. Impossible to read in anything other than a Scottish accent!

MP3 | |
| Australian |
An extract from Under Mulga Wood: a play for Australian Voices. An affectionate (and really rather brilliant) tribute to Dylan Thomas's celebrated work, by William Christie.

| New York (old-style) |
The New York accent has changed over the years, but this is 1940, and Quentin Pope of the New York World is still using the classic model!
Myles Hagen's Geordie tones are also present.
From The Ghosts of Africa.

| Southern USA |
Cornelius is an African-born freedom-fighter, brought up and educated in Virginia. His accent owes a bit to Samuel L Jackson. Paul Lettow's clipped German voice provides the other half of the conversation.
From The Ghosts of Africa.

| South African |
There are a lot of Boer voices in Rough Diamond; Transvaal premier Paul Kruger is probably the most characteristic though.
