I've heard it explained that "hey" used to be more of an urgent way to get someone's attention, rather than a casual "hello" like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

Probably not a super accurate representation of Swedish language, but it always brings a smile to my face to hear Brigitte's "hej hej" and other voicelines in Overwatch
From what I remember Brigitte's voice is quite good, maybe a slight Disney princess tint to the voice, that I find a bit misfiting, but that's about it. Her Swedish however isn't bad at all.
Probably because the VA is Swedish. As with all characters in Overwatch they use native speakers. So English is actually their secondary language.
Yeah I know, if I read the IMDB page right she was also the Swedish voice of Kim Possible. Which made me even more confused over the Disney princess tint in her voice, but I might not remember Kim's voice to good, or she managed to not have the tint back then.
