Does "your" Wonder Woman have an accent?

[chamber-music]

Mediterranean accent. Probably Greek sounding.

[The Shredder]

Yeah in my head I kind of always hear Lynda speaking when I'm reading Diana

Yes. Don't know if it will ever change, but Wonder Woman speaking in Lynda Carter's voice has been in my mind for years.

[Lex Luthor]

she speaks in the voice she had in the JL tv show for me. i think its about first impressions and popularity. once ww comes out im guessing most will vision her sounding like gal

You guys do realize everyone has an accent, right? If you don't hear an accent, then the person is speaking with your accent.

Really!? I had no idea. Thank you so much for enlightening us. We had no idea what accents were.

Obviously, I was joking. Was the 'American as Apple Pie' bit too subtle?

[Fused]

Can't be helped. Susan Eisenberg.

[Herowatcher]

An occasional accent to no accent.

That's just new 52 WW though, WW 95% of the time wasn't in london

I imagine Diana with a voice similar to the Justice League cartoon, but a little bit deeper. If the Wonder Woman movie is good enough, I might start imagining her with Gal Gadots voice.

Keri Russell in 2009 animated movie did a good job. she added a bit of something to her normal speech

Me too, when Phil Jimenez first mentioned her accent it gave me pause but he described it so beautifully the idea grew on me.

IIRC, the Perez run also describes her as having an accent; I'm remembering specifically the "Who Killed Myndi Meyer" issue.

[ImprobableQuestion]

She's ways been Susan Eisenberg to me, but Gal's accent has grown on me.

Technically speaking an accent is a deviation from the standard pronunciation of a language, usually caused by geography or social class. Of course that opens up a debate about who decides what the the "correct" pronunciation of a language should be. In older countries with monarchies the royal court usually sets the tone for what is considered "proper" speech but I'm not sure how it works in a republic.

In the United States, the network standard speech, the one associated with news and radio announcers, is a variant of Northern Midland dialect. The home of this dialect is the upper Midwest, from northern Ohio through Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas. The further west you go, the less pronounced dialect variations become, so most of the speech of the West Coast is a version of Northern Midland. Washington has never been the main driver of General American speech.

No accent.
No American accent either.
