Find the best British Norfolk voice overs

If someone asks you, "ar ya reet bor?" you crossed paths with a Norfolkan asking if you are alright, neighbor. Despite a gradual erosion of dialect vocabulary over the last century, this dialect is still spoken across the county and is easily recognizable because of its unique pronunciation and grammar.

Norfolk has a long history. It is known that there were Palaeolithic settlers in that area as early as 950.000 years ago. Closer to our time, it was inhabited by the Romans, who constructed roads and ports and spread farming. Soon after their departure, Germanic peoples arrived from the North Sea and settled in the region.

According to estimates by the Office for National Statistics, the population of Norfolk in 2018 was 903.680 people.

A different way of vocalizing the vowels gives Norfolk's accent a distinctive rhythm. Some stressed vowels sound longer, while some unstressed vowels sound much shorter than in the standard English accent.

Norfolk smoothing sometimes results in a pronunciation with a single long vowel. This makes 'beer' and 'bear' sound the same. Some verbs conjugate differently in Norfolk. The past tense of 'show', is 'shew', and the past of snow, 'snew'. Authentic Norfolk accent tends to be hard to emulate as a non-native speaker. Hiring a British Norfolk voice over is always a safer choice for localization.

An example of the British Norfolk accent can be heard in the voice of singer Allan Smethurst, also known as The Singing Postman. His undisputed Norfolk accent is easy to recognize in songs like "Hev Yew Gotta Loight Bor?".
