What's mildly amusing you today?

One of my corporate contracts has picked up a client that has offices in the UK, and would like their voiceover audio for those modules to be done with a British accent.

But they really don't want to deal with finding new voicetalent if they don't have to. So they told me to go ahead and record a sample and see if the client is convinced.

I have absolutely no idea if it'll fly. I haven't practiced a serious accent since high school theatre. It's gonna be nuts if I get recurring work off this.

My first thought is why, Brits are plenty used to hearing american accent, I would have thought a well enunciated regionaly neutral american accent would work just fine for most applications.
