I'm still bothered by that after 20 years. How hard would it have been for Lucas to cast an actor who at least sounded a bit like James Earl Jones as Anakin? I can buy that the suit makes it deeper and everything but not to the point that it changes his accent - unless he's channeling some kind of Batman thing to hide that he is Anakin.

From the Revenge of the Sith book, from the end This is what it feels like to be Anakin forever

Even at the end of return of the Jedi, his voice was labored, and far different from the voice of Vader.
When Palpatine designed the Vader suit it was all about intimidation. Anakin was tall, Vader was far taller, Anakin was bulky Vader was broad. Even the voice was made to be intimidating and brass.
In the Revenge of the Sith book as well when Anakin was told that he wouldn't be a master, when he talked about how unfair it was, his voice changed to something dark and deep and oily in the book. We got a glimpse of proto vader as his fall to the Dark side was already underway.
