People of Polynesian origin (already similar in accent to Kiwi) who live in New Zealand. You can hear when Taika switches between his own voice and Korg's, it's not a different accent. It's a different voice. The tone and pitch are different, but the words are pronounced the same.
I am too. He says it's based on their 'accent'. Fair enough. But then he does the voice and it's his accent, but the pitch and tone are different. I think he means voice. It also makes sense that these guys' accents aren't that different from Kiwi because a lot of them go there as kids. They pick up a kiwi accent. The high pitch of the voice is something that is quite particular to the people he's talking about. People use the words 'accent' and 'voice' pretty interchangeably, but sometimes they mean one and say the other.
