I have recently (well not recently actaully but today was the first time someone agreed with me!) noticed that during the films the accents of the main characters - especially Aragorn - change.

For example when he is at the Black Gate and he does the
"Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth!"
bit he goes very very American.

And earlier (might be in the Fellowship EE) when the stop for the night at Weathertop he says
"We will rest here tonight"
and his accent goes really Welsh.

Anyone else noticed this or found other examples of it with Aragorn or other characters?
