American Actors

Duchovny always had a monotone delivery in The X-Files. One of the many reasons why I couldn't sit through an entire episode of that program.

The problem I have with the Dark Shadows audios has nothing to do with the American actors (all of whom are terrific, particularly Lara Parker), but the British actors trying to do American accents. Some of the performances in Bloodlust are embarrassingly bad for that very reason.

I respectfully, but strongly, disagree.  I'm American, and I think the few British actors who have done American accents have done a really superb job.  The American accent is a tough one to master so I'm always impressed when it's done well.  I suspect that some of the actors who you thought British are actually American!  As bobod said, there are really not that many.  It's a matter of opinion I suppose, but IF some of the ones you've picked out are actually Americans, then it could be that you've detected tiny hints of British tone/inflections that American actors living in the UK may have picked up since leaving the States.  

Anyway, just had to show support for Bloodlust, which in my opinion was an overwhelming successful triumph--all around. Hell, let me extend that--I have found NO bad American accents in ANY Big Finish Dark Shadows productions. Have there been a few (very few) slight inflection or colloquial dialogue slips?  Of course, as with any production, but they are so infrequent as to be mostly irrelevant, and never distracting.  I'm sure even the master of worldwide accents Meryl Streep doesn't get every one exactly right to a Native's ear every time.  

Well that's discouraging from trying to get some indi stuff done if that's the reaction I can expect :/

I can respect your opinion for the most part, but let's not get carried away.
