I haven't ever heard AA speak as AA, but my mother and I are guessing at which is closer to her real voice: Fred's or Illyria's.
Half and half. The VOICE is closer as Fred (timber, pitch, etc), but the ACCENT is much more Illyria.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
He sounds so much better with a British accent.
Everybody (almost) sounds better with a British accent.
Accent slut.
IOW, I'll see your slut and raise you an accent nympho...

I (being British) was once asked by a Californian to repeat the phrase "Oingo Boingo" as she found it cute and amusing. As her friends were cute and amusing, it seemed a fair exchange.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

You're like a scene out of Love, Actually !

All is well that ends in pizza.
The freaky thing about her interviews on the DVDs is that she says I and means Fred. I know a lot of actors do that, but it's always cognitively dissonant to me.
After doing umpteen plays in college I finally gave into that as an easier way to talk about the storyline.
"Then my character does" is sometimes clunky, and speaking of a role you see from your POV really feels like talking in the third person.
Although I did find myself introducing the concept that I would represent the character when describing the scene or play. I did add an occasional "well, my character" to remind people I was speaking of the character.
Your theaterspeak may vary.

Haven't seen it, but it sounds like I should. I should add this happened ten years ago, so she wasn't ripping the film off.
And while I agree AD sounds strange with an American accent, JM's native accent really freaks me out.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Initially, hearing both JM's native accent and real age both shocked the bejeebus out of me.

JM sounds oddly like David Duchovny in his real accent.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
From Jersey/NYC, I think.
