About: Not Even Bothering with the Accent   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

When an actor decides not to bother putting on an accent, either because they can't pull it off without sounding silly or because they believe it'll hinder their ability to act. Of course, if they are playing a character who is supposed to be speaking a different language than the one we hear, there is no particular reason for the actor to use the accent. By extension, averting the Queen's Latin is not (normally) an example of this trope, though it can certainly feel like it. If this trope is averted, you're more or less dealing with someone with a Man of a Thousand Voices
