Voice of Richard III recreated with Yorkshire accent

Ms Morley-Chisholm told the BBC: “In a nutshell, it came about while I was on a weekend away with a bunch of voice teachers like myself, speech therapists, and we were meeting in Leicester and we had to come up with an after-dinner speaker.

“I thought, ‘they found someone under a car park didn’t they?’ and then I realised Face Lab had rebuilt Richard’s face and got very excited and thought, ‘we’ve got muscles, so what more can we learn?’

“From there, I went into a deep dive of finding evidence of how he would speak through speech and language therapy, dentistry, forensic psychology and archaeology.”

She went on to work with cranio-facial identification expert Prof Caroline Wilkinson and her team at Face Lab, as well as Prof David Chrystal, who is a specialist in pronunciation.

After a 10-year search, they found actor Thomas Dennis to give the performance that would drive the avatar.
