I'd be willing to bet my life on the fact that it is NOT Tom. You can clearly hear the voice at the beginning of "The Masterplan" and that guy definitely has no accent. From watching Evergrey's DVD, Tom definitely has an accent when he speaks. Also, you can tell that the guy at the beginning of "The Masterplan" is the same guy speaking throughout the album. I know it is taken from an AMERICAN movie, just not sure which one.
