Have you ever wondered by people in old movies and radio shows sound funny? It’s all due to the Transatlantic accent (also known as the Mid-Atlantic accent).

I was pleased to come across the following video last week. Not only did I learn something new, but I also thought of a way to incorporate it into my work-in-progress.

My villain is described as having a voice like an old radio personality and now I know enough to make the description more accurate and interesting.

I hope you enjoy this short, informative video.

If you have any favourite history-related videos or YouTube channels, I would love to hear recommendations!
