Remi Laforge

I'm west coast (lowland) Scottish by origin, with a French father who would sing my sisters and I to sleep using his guitar and an improvised version of the house of the rising sun, and a wickedly strong french accent. Hard not to pick that one up. He no longer has that accent, now neutral, but I keep using it for comedy purpose. I used to work in a call centre where I often managed to diffuse situations with people for whom English was not their first language, by adopting their way of speaking to help them communicate more easily. I also did this in French, as I worked at a multilingual call centre. I often tell jokes with various accents. I have also travelled extensively around the world and lived in various other countries, for example Malaysia and China.
