1. Not to mention their spiffy accents!

3. You hear accents while reading?
Originally, I meant that humorously, but after reconsideration it could be a legitimate question to some people!

4. It depends on the story...
Like in the story that you linked I read it with a Coventry accent since it, to me, breathed a bit of medical science in the article. Think of a female Clive Owen.

But if I were reading a financial story, I would go with an educated Westminster accent. Think of Christopher Lee.

Sports stories I would read with more of a whimsical accent. Think of any character from the Full Montey or Melanie Brown. Either accent will work.

Any story that is like an Access Hollywood story, I would go with a rough Cockney accent. Think Bob Hoskins.
