Troi accent är typiskt Betazed , åtminstone enligt skådespelerskan som visar Deanna Troi, Marina Sirtis;
They said "OK, you've got the job. You have to do an accent". And I
said "Well, where do you want the accent to come from? and they said
"Betazed" [audience laughs] So I though "Great! I can make up an
accent. I mean, who's going to tell me that I'm doing it wrong? Hands
up all the Betazoids in the audience..." [Marina is the only one who
raises her hand. Audience laughs again] ...so I made up this accent".
Varför hennes accent är ganska annorlunda än hennes mammas accent, var showens producent som ursprungligen förklarades att hennes accent liknade faderns. Efter att TNG: Dark Page producerades (där hennes amerikansk accentad pappa dyker upp) förklarade Rick Berman för henne att det berodde på att hon hade skickats hem till gymnasiet.
Now I assumed that I was doing the Betazoid accent. But then mum came
along. Well obviously she was from the American sector on Betazed
[Audience laughs]... because she didn't have an accent. She had an
American accent. So being, as I said, one to make trouble I go to Rick
Berman's office and I knock on his door and say "excuse me, I thought
I was doing the Betazoid accent but obviously I'm not because Majel is
American" and of course by this time we're well into the filming and
they're rewriting scripts constantly. They're really busy. They're
casting, they're editing, they're doing all this stuff and the last
thing they want is Marina Sirtis knocking on their door and being a
pain in the butt. So Rick Berman, and I know all he wants to say to me
is "shut up and get out of my office", but he has to come up with an
answer so he says, "you know what, it was your father's accent". And
I said "Really? Because I don't believe that because of my
relationship, Deanna's relationship with Lwaxana was kind of identical
to my own relationship with my mother, God rest her soul. And I knew
that they had lived together in the same house. That was why there was
so much friction on the show". So he was like "No, it's your
father's accent and go away".
Well then I think it was Season 6 or
Season 7, I don't remember because they've all kind of blended
together at this point, Dark Page, where we met my dad [she pauses for
effect] who was from Iowa [audience laughs]. And I just had to. I know
we were coming to the end of the series and I had to go back to Rick
Berman's office and ask. So I knocked on his door and I said "You
told me back in season 1 that I was doing my father's accent but
actually we've met dad now and he doesn't have an accent" and Rick is
ready to throttle me. He's like "Really, this is the conversation
that we're having now?" And he goes "They sent you away to school!
Now shut up and get the hell out of my office!!
