I noticed accents before, but I never really bothered about them; I'm not fussed, they can't change entirely.<BR>Some are down to character, such as Boromir and Faramir. Thinking about it, I remembered how much Faramir loves the elves and studies them. Then I remember Legolas, who like all the other elves actually, has quite a noble accent. So Faramir, having a more 'noble' accent, reflects his love of nobility and lore and whatnot through his voice. Boromir is more of a 'dodgy geezer' style guy, with a common 'man' accent.<BR>Its the same with the hobbits. Sam has a rustic, country accent, representing a simpler lifestyle (like the rural peasant farmers or something) and Frodo has a posher accent, reflecting his higher upbringing.
