Now you're just moving goal posts.
This is what you said before:

So which is it? Osaka-ben is easy to fake or are the fakes not authentic?
Hisakawa Aya is born and raised in Osaka, and of course, Hisakawa Aya's Osaka-ben *is* authentic, and she also does many characters which speaks in both the official dialect and Osaka-ben, which is why I pointed her out because you didn't give her the credit in the Claymore A-list.
Of course there are many seiyuu which can speak other dialects but trains themselves to speak the official one - a whole bunch of them comes from the Kyushyu area (which is where I used to live before moving to Tokyo) and can speak unique dialects from there (such as the Hakata-ben), it's just that there aren't nearly as many characters or fascination in that area in anime to make use of that.
