Needless to say, most Americans are suckers for the British accent LOL - Downton Abbey anyone? The RP is well received Stateside. So, perhaps every so often you can add in a voice over. They do take time but are fairly easy on Substack. I speak with a very neutral American/British/Indian accent and people quite like the way I sound. Methinks its my phrasing which is still quite Indian English with a dash of the Queens' english ( well now King's)

Thanks so much Elsie, I was delighted to share your piece, it was hard to hear, but encouraging all the same to see you come out the other side. Bless you, I'm really looking to finally getting to share a meal with you and yours someday too!

I hope your friend enjoys it and finds it fruitful.

Also, Your voiceover on this past article that gave me the idea. I'm actually recording an audiobook at the moment, so I have the gear, but I hadn't thought about it for some time.

1. Thank you SO much for your encouragement and for sharing my writing! I so appreciate you and someday soon, I hope we get to meet and share a meal.

2. I love this new series on Jude. Just read the essay and I am going to share this with a dear friend whose oldest is named Jude. I am certain they will love reading the history of the author & this book!
