Is it me or is nearly every advert these days spoke over by a welsh person? Joanna Page from Gavin and Stacey seems to be the one who's the main culprit. This could be that apart from Gavin and Stacey she's a very limited acctress. She seems to be riding on the success of the Gavin and Stacey series. Already she has done voice overs for Kingsmill Bread, Carphone Warehouse and various others.
Two of my favourite old shows made me love the Welsh accent were Will Cwac Cwac and Ivor the Engine.
Will Cwac Cwac
Ivor the Engine
Will Cwac Cwac was on from 1984 to 1986 and was a story of a welsh duck living with his parents in a little farm house where he would go out and have lots of adventures. Ivor the Engine was a story about a train who likes to whistle and has a mind of his own.
There's nothing wrong with the Welsh accent but there is no need for it to be everywhere on every advert, Leave it to kids TV programmes. This is where the Welsh accent is perfect for. Story telling by a Welsh accent is nice and relaxing especially when you are a kid.
I'm not having a go at the Welsh People unlike this guy who asked " Why are some Welsh people dark?" and the answer he was given was "something to do with the coal" see link: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080426045526AArDHyY
If i had my own way, the Women who did the voice over for the M&S adverts who be doing the voice over for every advert.
She even makes me want to eat Lincolnshire red cabbage and i HATE cabbage!
