Amy Walker is an actress, writer, singer and dancer from Seattle, Washington.
According to Mahalo.com, Amy Walker gained notoriety with her 21 Accents Video, in which she repeats the same sentence 21 times in as many different accents. She has commented in interviews that performing a convincing accent is as much about assuming the facial expressions and mannerisms of that culture as it is about changing one's voice or intonation.
She has also said that the British accent is the easiest for her and, if she had to pick only one to think in, it would be that one.
ConnectedFilm project
Walker is the co-founder of the ConnectedFilm project, which allows the public to make donations toward the film project in exchange for updates about the film's progress and a mention in the film's credits.

As an English man, I would say that if you want an English accent, get an English person to do the voiceover. My partner is a Dubliner and judging by her response, I would say that the same would apply to the Irish accent.
It probably sounds great if you're American, but for us English / Irish... sorry.
