Can someone who is a native English speaker explain to me the accents used in this series. Why does Campion sound different than mother and father?
Also, what is the accent Travis Fimmel has? I see he is an Australian actor but he sounds like he did as a Viking and that confuses me more because of the *Spoiler* character arc he has. It's such a distinct accent/voice he uses and wouldn't that kind of ruin his plan to escape earth?
Without looking it up, Campion sounds like a kiwi. Mother sounds American and Father sounds English.
Travis Fimmel sounds like...Ragnar! π
So, could have Campion made a mash-up of an American and English accent to sound Kiwi?
shareI looked it up and I was wrong, I thought Campion had a New Zealand accent, but its an Australian accent.
Most experts believe the Australian accent β known for its flat tone, nasality and elision of syllables - developed from the mix of dialects found in the early colony, whose residents included convicts and settlers from across Britain and Ireland.
Amanda Collin (Mother) is Danish also.
