[Closed] Why are so many ad voice overs 'regional' or 'interesting' accents?

Once spent a very enjoyable hour or so chatting about regional accents with actress and comedian Josie Lawrence.

So I hear, she still talks about it now.

because they sound less authoritative and dictatorial, like they want to be - telling you what to buy. More like somebody you'd like to know or possibly trust. eg, Jane Horrocks thinks Tesco is good, so it must be good! she's proper real and in right on Mike Leigh films! If tescos is good enough for Horrocks, and by association, honest to goodness northern type genuine stuff, last of the summer wine, wallace and grommit even, we'll ignore the massive corporation. cos they're nice an friendly and caring, like us.

I seen Jane Horrocks in Battersea Park. You fancy her don't you? She tried it on with me but I told her to behave herself. She looked a bit skinny, so I bought her a little cake.

Scottish accents apparently inspire trust. Apart from Ken Stott on the Royal Bank adverts.
