Canadian voice-over agency?

More interesting info about the Canadian accent

The Canadian English dialect has some cool sounding idioms and slang words including ‘Klick’ to refer to a Kilometre and ‘Keener’ to describe someone who is ‘too eager to please’. We’re particularly fond of ‘Kerfuffle’ – to cause a commotion or fuss.

“What’s all this kerfuffle about?”

Looking out for these slang words is a good way to differentiate the Canadian accent from the North American English dialect.

Canada is a vast country and the Canadian accent also varies by region. An Alberta resident will very sound different to a person native to Toronto. We offer both as our reach is not only national but global at Voquent the voice-over agency.

Canadian Raising?

All Canadians share ‘Canadian Raising’. This is a feature of speech where the diphthong in “now” sounds is raised before t, s or other consonants e.g. in the words ‘house’ or ‘about’. Noticeable in our Canadian Voice Actors.
