It's not the British accent that makes her hard to understand, it's her very rushed and frantic delivery. I saw her on Studio 60 and thought it was just the character she was doing. Now I've seen her in a few things and decided it's simply the way she delivers lines. It's annoying and darn hard to understand. I have to rewind the Tivo every time she talks.

I agree with you, she speaks quite fast. Plus she always speaks so quietly. It's not a good combination. I used to think that of her when she was in the Office.
I saw her for the first time in Reaper tonight and I could hardly grasp what she was saying. But she's a great actress nevertheless ...
technically what your refferring too is her accent
she had a brummie accent and it often appears fast...even when its not
As a born and bred British citizen I am more than familiar with the Brummie accent and that is not the reason why I think that she is difficult to understand in Reaper.
She is difficult to understand as she rarely pauses for a breath when she speaks, she deliberately speaks quickly and quietly and at times she even mumbles.
its pretty much all she can do, and its gotten really old.
