...I'd be ok with Christianson as long as they did some voice coaching and make-up to get him looking and sounding more like Shaw at the end of Jedi.

They'd have to explain why he sounded like an American brat in the PT and an English gentleman at the end of Jedi...

They could also explain why he sounded like an American man before he took the mask off...

Because.. robot voice? I guess?
I know that doesn't really add up either, but I find it easier to buy than Hayden's voice being either the robot or the old man.

The pitch of the voice is easy to shrug off as robot but the accent not as much. To be honest Shaw's British accent never bothered me because he has like two lines and the difference in pronunciation can be shrugged off by saying that his voice was frail or whatever.

Hayden aside having PT Anakin be a brit would have been a mistake. American makes more sense, also due to his familial relations. Someone with a vocal presence similar to JEJ would have been a better choice. Not necessarily as deep or menacing, but deeper than Christensen and with more power.
