@Jacqueline Hyde, I don't know if your linguistic professor classifies accents differently, but the Germans here considers the Shakespearean accent more American than British because of the intermixing with Irish/Gaelic notes. Would be nice to know if there's another term for it.
Until I played one of the Carmen games from 1995 with Lynn Thigpen, and I found a note left behind from one of her agents, I didn't realize that Carmen pays her people too Lol
