This message turned up in search, but its forum couldn’t be identified from the original transcript, so it may not be linked into its thread.
The voices you hear, are that of the lovely Clare Edgeley, the PR lady at
Rainbird's HQ (London, England).. and yes, she has a very pronounced
English accent (… and a slightly less pronounced lithp!)

For the tekkies here, the voices were sampled at 6 khz… but most sound
effects needed about 8 khz to keep the quality high. Most instruments in
the music were sampled much higher.. eg: cymbols & hihats at 25 khz, to
preserve the top end frequencies.. whereas Bass was only at 8 khz.
