I seem to be in a good place right now in regards to the general health of my larynx. A good time to start on my voice.

I can actually sound feminine with relative ease, but there’s a catch: only with a strong regional British accent. Can I sound like a woman from Belfast? Yes! Glasgow? Absolutely! Birmingham? Yeah. Am I from any of those places? Nope!

I can also sound feminine while I’m singing, but I’m not going to go around acting like I’m in a Gilbert and Sullivan play, so I need to work on sounding like a feminine me. So I need a famous woman or character who has close to a relatively neutral RP English (leaning slightly towards Scottish but not much) and a large amount of spoken recordings like interviews and acting roles.

Any suggestions?

NB: my accent is in no way posh or plummy. Kind of lower middle class.

    How is the accent situation in Russia? In Britain it’s comical, in Scandinavia it’s worse. Norwegian as its spoken in the south west would be completely incomprehensible to someone from the north if people didn’t just learn the differences and the Danes have to subtitle their own language.
