Why is Doc the only GIGN member who sounds French?
Seriously, Montage, Twitch, and Rook all sound American to me, and I've never left US soil.

yeah but I dont' care who you are. A french accent sounds like a french accent.

Probably limited voice actors. That being said I met a French gril from Paris who had me fooled with her American-English speaking accent.

Canada has French as a primary language, especially in Montreal and Quebec.

This Ubisoft studio is based in Montreal, the French speaking part of Canada. In Quebec, all signage has to be in French by law and all services also have to be in French as well. I'm given to understand that outside of Montreal, the Quebecois refuse to speak English. Which is interesting considering all the other regions of Canada refuse to speak French...

Anyway, studying in a Modern Languages department, I have come across French nationals (although I don't study it myself). Anyway, some have no recognisable accent at all and others speak in a distinct accent, which I've observed only French nationals speak, but isn't stereotypically French. Of course, I've also heard some who do speak in the more stereotypical one, and it's absolutely nothing like the ones you hear on TV, in the Movies or by people trying to make fun of the French.

Also it would make sence if the GIGN spoke with a more American accent as that might be the accent they picked up as they were taught it, most likely when they joined the GN (Doc being an exception since he probably learned it early in life due to his academic background).

If you would read some of the operator's BIO, it says they studied and did stuff abroad.

But they were raised in their native countries. Your language and accent, unless you get speech therapy to counter it, is developed during adolescent

most of the operators don't seem to have accents that stick out really, but ya the french people sounding like native english speaking folk jarred me and made me feel sad, I never get to play the french in anything sadness.

The SAS have very noticable accents, same with the Spetznas. The GSG-9 aren't obvious with their accents but you can tell they aren't native english speakers.

They are based in ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Canada. They could probably call up a family member to do it.
