I think both guys have neutralized their accents pretty well.
I'd agree that it's relatively neutral in SPN. As as Midwesterner, though, and I can tell you that their accents are NOT Kansan! It's not strong, but they've both got a drawl that's missing the Midwestern "rasp". (And Jared, true to Sam's character, occasionally sounds more "educated" than Jensen.)
Perhaps "timbre" wasn't quite the right word: Jensen's voiceover sounds like it's in the same "voice" he uses normally (men have two "voices", women have three), but it's pitched higher. He also sounds less resonant.
Oo, I love talking accents! I've had some exposure to ones you'll never hear on TV, Pennsylvania Dutch and Canadian Low German, and I think it's fun to figure out where people are from just by hearing them talk.
