QC the Animated Show - Voice Cast
Mr. Skawronska:
Sven Bianchi: Me

--- Quote from: Storel on 22 Dec 2016, 16:02 ---If she has any accent, I would expect Brun to sound German, not British. Of course she may have been born here in America to German parents for all we know.

That's the thing of it, though. Accents are all relative.
Well, with the exception of the Mid-Western cosmopolitan accent (what news anchors are often taught to mimic). People who grew up in Dallas, Texas tend to sound an awful lot like people who grew up in Wichita or Kansas City Kansas. The primary give away is typically word choice or colloquialisms. Well, unless you get someone like me who's picked up all sorts of things from all over the place. Like "spiffy" when something's good, "ai-ya" for exasperation, and "gewalt" (sp?) when I'm angry and frustrated.
EDIT: Now that I think of it, the first two examples are from cartoons; Big Guy and Rusty and Jackie Chan Adventures respectively. No idea how or where I picked up 'gewalt', but I say the 'g' with a voiced palato-alveolar sibilant (/ʒ/) for some reason. Probably because I'm usually clenching my jaw when I say it.

"Oy, gevalt!" is a Yiddish expression, sometimes said as just "Gevalt!", but it's pronounced with a hard 'g' -- I don't speak IPA, but I think you're saying you say it with a soft 'g'? So I don't know... maybe you got it from something you read without ever hearing it pronounced?
More details here.
Gyrre:
I derailed this train so I'll get it back on track.
How about Cree Summer for the voice of Reneé?
And maybe Michaela Dietz for Brun? I know it'd be a fair sight different than her role as Amethyst, but let's not type-cast her.

So, Melanie Lynsky is relatively unknown, but she would be absolutely perfect as Faye, and she just finished doing a movie for Netflix called I Don't Feel At Home in This World Anymore. It's pretty good, and it kinda reminds me of Jeph's writing: real world anxieties punctuated by occasional bizarre events.
