Not sure if this is the correct place where to ask, but I know it's here where all the intellectual anons are.

Do you know what is the accent that classical actors like Ian McKellen and Charles Dance use? Is it just Upper Received Pronunciation? Is there something exclusive that only old theatre actors learned?

Examples:

It is standard recieved pronounciation, if such a thing can be described. Upper class accents (e.g. Jacob Rees-Mogg) tend towards longer vowels and even less Rs. Being RADA actors these two tend to enunciate all their letters, but without some of the pregnancy that RP can have.

You suffer from full-on, unironic autism if you honestly can't fathom why it's totally fine for McKellen to speak like that while you can't.
