Shevonne Durkin's Voice


I thought Shevonne Durkin was a beautiful and stunning actress and woman. But I noticed something about her voice:

In the Lep 2 Press Kit at Lepconnie's website, it says that Shevonne was born in Dublin, Ireland. She might have been raised there, too, because if you listen to her voice, it sounds at time like there's a tint of Irish and the american accent sounds like she's trying to pull it on. Who else noticed this?

Well I guessed she was irish before reading this which confirms that she is. At times her voice did sound different sometimes average compared to her looks. I have irish in my family, and they all talk the same way kind of a monotoneous voice. All though I see what your saying I did hear both accents in her voice. This movie which takes place in Ireland I guess she wanted to the blend the two into the movie to make it seem more realistic.

She covered it up well and totally sounded like a valley girl to me. And yeah she's freaking beautiful.

I think that whole thing was probably a mistake. While she does have Irish heritage, her birthplace is in California. She's had a valley girl accent in most all of her movie roles.

Good point. I thought she was OK and gave a somewhat alright performance
