Um... sorry, i've never seen this comic before, but.. in my head this wolf guy doesn't have a USA accent, much more Jeremy Irons-y one.

A fair point. Some people on the forum have said doing characters in an English accent is fine, but the comic is set in America and no characters, or at least that we know, have even ever been to England. I'll see what people on the forum make of this, I might end up redoing some voices.

Another thing to consider is that (in most American media i've seen) English accents are indicative of either very arrogant characters or bad guys. (Which has always puzzled me.. guess it's jsut a holdover from the war of independence?) In which case Irons would be totally wrong since Miles doesn't seem the affectation type.

I'm trying to think: is there any particular accent (either here or over there) associated with autodidactism? AFAIK the only commonly recognised sign of being self-taught is mispronunciation of words that have only ever been read, not heard spoken.. the stereotypical nerd nasal drawl totally doesn't cover it.

I agree with the English accent thing. It's odd, but my main problem with it is just how predictable it makes their movies. "Omg, the posh English guy is actually the baddie? Shocker!"

To be honest, I don't know anything that self-taught people would particularly have in their accent. I think either they can come off stupid (Whether or not they are. As you say, mispronouncing words and similar habits) but as it's not written by me it would be hard to make that fit, so I went for what I see as the alternative: Someone who's a little too formal. The kind of voice where everything is pronounced right, and they don't use the shortened versions of anything (Ie "How are you doing?" instead of "How're ya doin?") but, in this case, not to a noticably strange degree.

I noticed after I listened to it that it's slightly inspired by one of the voices in Fallout 3. The only character I can remember who has it at the moment is the Doc in Megaton, but it's quite a common voice from what I can remember. Well, the lines that end in a down-note (First and last) sound a bit like it anyway.
