Does he have an accent?

Everyone (who speaks) has an accent.

sigh Does he have an accent which is sufficiently distinctive for the
possibility of 'playing to his accent' to arise?


(unclosed tab alert!)

I expect so - for some.

However, never having heard the person in question, I have no idea who
might find the accent noteworthy.

In any case, it's very often the timbre of the voice and its
non-standard inflections which stand out...
