The English voice director would've been involved in the casting process. Nothing was thrust upon them.

Assuming you mean predating Dawntrail, well... the vast majority of the cast uses regional accents different from their own. To some American ears, it's "all British", but the UK is home to more specific than that, the same way Americans have different accents in Los Angeles than they do in Boston. Colin Ryan uses a Received Pronunciation (or simply RP) accent for Alphinaud, which is different from his own; Nicholas Boulton uses a northern Yorkshire accent for Raubahn, but RP for Zephirin; and so on and so forth.

If you do mean to include the Dawntrail cast, then, again, the vast majority lol. Not all are faking it, but many like Luis Bermudez (voice of Koana and many more) are affecting a (Mexican) Spanish-American accent for the Turali characters they play.
