>>>Not sure about the voice. If you mean the voice in UT that tells you get replies, then, AFAIK, it's Cathy Pountney (?) voice. I would not be able to tell the same without an accent. Even after 16 years in US I still have a strong accent and people I meet ask me where the accent comes from.

I understand your "shame" part. I used to answer, when asked where I was from, (without even thinking) that I was from Russia. Now not only I say "I am from Ukraine" but emphasize that I am from "western Ukraine." So that I can separate myself from the Nazi regime of Putin.
