Like, privileged-child-who-grew-up-in-connecticut-and-was-part-of-the-yacht-club, snooty.
There's no... Cohesive way to describe it other than that. He just sounds like an arrogant prick. AND IF YOU ARE ALL INSINUATING THAT THE BRITISH ARE ARROGANT PRICKS WELL
some of you would be right, haw haw

*sighs happily as she fancifully imagines that future* Yes, what a wonderful world that would be. Btw, it doesn't need to be capitalized. It's just an adverb. It means therefore. As in:
The woman got in a car accident, therefore, she got hurt.
Replace with egro:
The woman got in a car accident, ergo, she got hurt.

And not every British man is gay now, though the accent does go down pretty well when I'm over in the US ;)
As for the question at hand, I always took Edgeworth to be American but with a refined upbringing of the von Karmas...

Edgeworth is an old Anglo-Irish name and many of the famous Edgeworths were Irish (eg., Francis Edgeworth, Henry and Kenneth Edgeworth). There is also a town close to where I live called Edgeworthstown.

Anyway, back on topic. I always imagined Edgy to be English, I have a weakness for English guys (which is weird here in England as everyone seems to like the foreign guys) and some of his traits are seemingly so; his objection being the main piece of evidence. Although I did think he was supposed to be American just because of his background in the game. It also doesn't say otherwise.
I'm just going to carry on imagining...

It sounds normally american accent enough, 'til his weird Take that! kinda reminds me of the canadians who speak similarily to americans, but have a slight more englishesque accent to it.

Seriously, his voice is so obviously British. I AM BRITISH. I CAN RECOGNISE MY OWN ACCENT. It's so different from everyone else's 'Take that!' and 'Objection!'.
In fact, as soon as I heard his 'Objection!' the first thing I said to my friend after playing the game was, 'OMG EDGEY IS BRITISH! (and gay)' XD
It's just a load of fans having fun, seriously. If fans want to see him as a British bishie with tea and a cravat then let them. But in this case, he really IS British.
Or at least, Capcom randomly decided to give him the only British voice-actor, it seems. If he was raised in America and Germany he wouldn't really have a British accent, unless Capcom never thought fans would take it seriously, or if he actually lived in England for every other part of his life.

the only think that would make me think he ISN'T British would be that he grew up in America/Germany with the vonkarmas. Gregory Edgeworth AND miles Edgeworth both sound like British names to me, but he would have a German accent...UNLESS both Gregory and his mother were British and, growing up around them up until the 4th grade, he picked it up from them. That's the main reason people even have accents- They pick it up from what they hear.

Personally, I think one of Edgeworth's parents was British - most likely his dad, but he was brought up in the US when he was a child until a certain incident happened, after which VK took him in and he was schooled in some top law school in the UK XD

My Texan uncle married a woman from England many, many years ago--they remain happily so. Interestingly enough, to those of us back home he now sounds somewhat English and to her family she now sounds somewhat American.
Accent is a subjective, fluid thing and can prove next to nothing, for the most part. With enough exposure and/or imitation, you can sound however you please.

It would certainly explain why he's always flying off to Europe and never anywhere else like Canada or Mexico or Djibouti (despite its having a wonderful, wonderful name). /silly

Edgeworth's voice sounds English in the middle class way to me, I also think Phoenix sounds a bit British too for some reason.

What? No, no, this was the thread I had in mind. tsukixkumori said that she didn't like the thought of Edgeworth being British.
Kind of like in 1-5, y'know?
: I don't think I like your attitude.
: I don't think I like your beard, but you don't see me complaining. [something like that]On-topic, if the accent returns for his "that's it!" voiceclip in GK (the localized version), I think it's pretty safe to say that he's British.

It's about as logical as, why do Greek and Roman characters in movies have British accents?
Because a British accent is stereotyped as being sophisticated, regal and elegant-sounding.

Ahaha, it's a shame that most Brit accents are horrifying
I just see him as a well spoken American.
But I dunno.
Maybe he's a Brit wannabe hehehe
Or not.
EDIT:
Oh yeah.... I forgot about that, it was a little British.
Aw man I'm so confused.
