Nick Grey's accent

[twistking]

After watching the 2023 and beyond video, there was a little discussion in our group (all non native speakers) about the "accent" (if you can call it that) of Nick "basso profondo" Grey. I always assumed that Mr. Grey is British and his way of pronounciation in the official ED videos is just him trying to sound a bit more dramatic, theatrical or maybe also more "American" (because international audiences are more used to americanized English...), but others did not hear any britishness whatsoever in his voice, but even suggested a slight german accent (which i did not hear at all).
Can some native english speaker enlighten us about the "accent"?

Thanks.

I would have guessed Scandinavian / Norwegian, along those lines. That coming from my American ears. I imagine a viking size beast of a man.. Johan Hegg of Amon Amarth comes to mind lol

His accent is international man of mystery

He is a well-spoken English man.

thanks for the answers. i think you all made equally plausible arguments!

i have skipped through an interview with him now, where he talks more casually and there he sounds definitely british. so, it was probably just his deliberate intonation for the promo video that made him sound less british...
