Changing accents? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't notice the accent thing with Viggo, till you guys mentioned it, but I did notice it with Sean Astin. He is trying so hard to speak with a British accent, but most of the times it comes out wrong, somehow forced. Elijah does a much better job of it.

But I agree that sometimes Viggo's voice has a ... nasal quality, to quote Estel. And sometimes, like when he says "he's been stabbed by a Morgul blade", his voice sounds high pitched somehow. This also happens during his speech in ROTK and any time he tries to yell out things.
