Accents?
 

so we were discussing accents in chat and how everyone has a different one (obviously) but i want to hear how you sound

Pittsburghese crossed wMidwestern english (from my mum) and new york english (from my dad)

I think accents are hot!

Hate mine though, mines *****. No-one can understand me down south, no joke.

I used to get that when I first moved to uni! Even now people sometimes just look at me and go "what?"

I didn't even think I had an accent until I moved out of Hull!

Ami you dont understand my farmer talk :P
so i dont understand you up north talk!

yes becky is from farmer land devon! spessially when i say words with R in! xxx

Geordie FTW.

.......but your not a geordie?

Lol, to be fair I dont understand anyone else. At all. I just nod and agree most of the time. Boyfriends dad actually asked if I was "a bit deaf".

I swear I have a neutral accent. I'm from Essex and dont seem to speak like everyone else. Well, the chavs anyway.

wheres it to?
where you to?
no one understhad that unless they be from te west country!

i didnt actually think i sounded that devonshire untill i moved! and no one understod me!

Mines is ment to be scottish, but i think mines is strange.

Mine's south london apparently. Even though i'm from north london.

I feel like that some of the time- especially when I was at home (North Herts) but at school in Cambridge. I seemed to be the only person aware that the letter "t" existed.

I get accused of being posh by some people at uni though. I have an ongoing thing with a black guy, who calls me cracker, limey etc. so I call him my homie. First time I did, he just burst into a fit of giggles, telling me posh girls shouldn't say homie...

It's not *****, just bizarre :P

Though it is true, normally having asked you to repeat yourself twice I feel embaressed that I don't get it and try to either shake it off, or just come up with some ridiculous answer.

i have an american accent apprently i sound deeper then people thought?

i live in the southern us but i don't have a southern accent

you don't sound like a southerner at all

I have a westcountry 'farmer' accent apparently. I hate it! It won't be as strong as Bexie's though (I imagine) being as I'm from Wiltshire not Devonshire but yeah.

Chelle, You already know what I sound like!!!

chelle your voice Is lower than i thought it'd be >.<
i'll do mine at some point...but i have a typical british accent... RP, or bbc english..pretty much

Julie Andrews was from Surrey. Do you sound like Mary Poppins?

Come on say it - supercalifagilis....ok just kidding lol

chelle- you def dont sound southern

You're not getting a recording! But apparently I don't really have much of an accent. I picked up more of a London accent when living in Medway than I did when in East London! Mind you, I grew up in SE London.
I can do a nifty Welsh accent, as my Grandma was Welsh. And apparently I'd come out with random Welsh accent when I was about 3!

ohhhharrrr me loveer!

i dont thinki have a starong accent but apparenlty i do!
why do you hate it?

xxxx

I'm not sure I have an accent :ermm:


I moved from middlesbough to york when I was about 6 and got bullied over my accent so sort of lost it, but I never gained a york accent and to be honest to this day still don't understand some of the reginal slag :ermm:

Then I moved to Scotland, but haven't picked that up either, other than that I nw speak more quickly than I used to anyway... Though most of my friends are irish, so maybe I should be picking up an irish accent... but as far as I am aware I'm not...

:ermm:

I sound like a typical Warringtonian.
Not like a scally though!

Just, i don't know, i don't even think i have an accent. :/

Anyone know Paolo Nutini a singer from Scotland? I can barley understand a word the kid says. I would make a recording but I have a cold or something

......

You & dan sound so damn common :P

Lol at my hair sticking up everywhere.

how awful, I wanna take it down

LOL at my emo straight hair!

I remember that day. You burnt half my bloody ear off with the straighteners. I look worse than usual in that video. Boooo.

my accent is all over the place!! i pick stuff up really quickly without noticing, i used to have a really neutral english accent until i spent some time in the US and both my best mates are scottish so when im drunk it gets into a weird mix of english with random words pronounced in american and scottish accents its a bit weird, my bf is always taking the piss

Pfft. We've heard you Tom, not much better. :yeah:

I got bullied for my Geordie accent when I moved to Yorkshire too. So I changed it and now I'm apparently "well-spoken" but definitely Northern. I say "bath" not "barth".

I'm not recording my voice :P
Apparently my accent is quite posh- Cheshire one, but I don't really think I have an accent...

I'm a Yam Yam, the clue is in the name 'cause e say "you am" instead of "you are". Since going to Uni in Gloucester though my accent has gone strange, it's a cross between West Midlands and West Country!

My accent can change depending on who I'm hanging around with/who I'm talking to. It's odd. But I still don't think I have much of an accent.

I pick up accents depending on what I hear. I have some natural northern (England) words, because my mum and dad are from up there, but I've always lived in the south. I have some Luton, but rather more well spoken than that. I always say "Bath" not "barth" etc and all my mates laugh (Laff) at me for it.

I have a problem though, because I pick up accents so easily. 2 of my Psychology teachers are Northern. One's from Manchester and the other's from Preston, so I'm worried that if I pick up their accents naturally, they might tell me off for mimicking them :-p

Honestly? No clue. People tell me different things. Definitely do not sound like a Stokey though, thank god. I pick up accents far too easily as well. After spending a lot of time in Wolverhampton, I can now do a good attempt at the accent.

Ami, your accent is really, really nice! Dan, you're such a Geordie xD

I never understand this, it doesn't sound like at has an r in it? It's more like an ahh like when you hear choirs doing warm ups. Bahhth. Not barth.
:-p

Hm, I get told my accent's all sorts by different people.

I'm not far from Leigh in Wiltshire, but I wouldn't say I have a West Country accent - though I can do one, & understand it all!
My dad's Cornish, but I can't say that's impacted me muchhh except being able to sing Wurzel songs far too well.

According to some (Northeners generally), I just sound generic posh! Strange.

Well, I'm from Preston originally but never really had a typical Prestonian accent but have/had a northern one - yes, it is bath not barth :) I'm considered well spoken but I think it is just because I tend to pick up a bit of the accent wherever I live (previously, other than Preston - Cambridge, LA, Chester) which at one point resulted in me having a fully fledged "American" accent after only living there for 7 months. It's weird but when I get nervous I still sometimes have an american twang on some words. I don't seem to have picked up any Manc probably b/c the people I knew around here weren't generally from the area.

I sound american. How curious. :] I can record my voice if I figure out how to.

Chelle...when you said 'i want to hear wht you sound like'

what did you mean... like.. you put an adult lable on the thread!!!


=P

Maybe she thought there were a few Swedish pornstars around who would record their accents for her

btw I'm joking, not meaning to offend, etc, etc :P

I use Vista's included audio recorder and then convert file from WMA file to MP3 (using this free converter http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.h...FQOdnAodMnlh1A ).
