Just to add my two cents worth. Voices can be very deceptive. There are older people that I know that on the phone that sound like they could be in their 20's, and one very glamorous 30 year old? woman I met in the context of work, on the phone sounded like an old truck driver. (She was the wife of a movie star and was I ever wrong.) I could agree that the voice could be a young 17 year old, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was a 30 year old.
Regarding the accent, to my ears, and I live near Santa Barbara, I hear NO accent at all. Now people in England might think it is I that have the accent but speaking just from my perspective, he could sound like anyone I meet around here. The accent that thebutler mentioned to me is more like a surfer dude accent, then there is the Valley girl accent, then there is the Beverly Hills wealthy woman accent but I think these are all put on for effect. Not sure about that last statement. I cannot hear a difference in people from northern California, Oregon, Washington State, Nevada, Arizona. When you start to get into the mid west I hear an accent, I hear different southern drawls, Texas being different from the deep south, New York, and the Eastern seaboard, New England all have distinct accents. I'm actually pretty good at discerning accents.
One little aside, when I was in Las Vegas a woman bet me she could tell where I was from by listening to me talk. I put on a fake southern accent and she guessed wrong. I was very smug but noticed that she didn't care at all. Then I realized that she took my dollar and gave me a prize worth 5 cents. Can you say doofus, duuuude? LOL
Rewatch the E CHANNEL EAR-ONS show. The caller has the same accent as the man they interviewed who witnessed the Magiore murders. I'm from Northern New England and have a keen ear for even the slightest accent.
I would like to listen to that, can you give me more info on what that show is titled, surely not the EAR-ONS show. Do you have a link? Thanks
