Lots of BBC output has natural-sounding voice.



And lots of it isn't.....


Ah; I was thinking of discussion programs, the news, etc; not actors!



Jeez, I don't know where you come from but here in East Anglia the (local)
news and weather forecasts in particular are the last place to hear a
'natural voice'! (Our nickname for the superfast, nasal Look East weather
bimbo is 'Zippee'!!)

Not to mention pronunciation either - 'golf war', 'eeeconomic',
'eeelectricity', 'eeelections', 'hoe-moe-sexuality' and 'pronounciation'
just for starters....!!
