Your accent

[el Chi]

It's all well and good seeing pictures of you lot, but what about the way you sound?
I don't mean you need to post sound files (although that could be interesting...), but descriptions could be fun.
Of course they might not be and this could all be a horrible mistake, but frankly I don't care.
So there.

Me for example:
Despite being from (North) East London, I'm not a Cockernee: when I met SimonomiS and Edcrab, SimonomiS said "We thought you'd be more Cockney. We're a bit disappointed."
It's more a general South-East English middle class accent mixed with some smatterings of the "Lahndahn yoou cahnt" sort of thing, a wee bit of a Northern inflection which I picked up from some friends at uni and a big dollop of Eddie Izzard (I've watched a lot of his stand-up vids and inadvertently picked up some vocal characteristics).
My voice also has a tendency to go very high at points. It's not an uncontrollable vocal tick, like my voice is breaking or anything, simply that my vocal intonations sometimes involve dogs hearing what I'm saying, whilst the people I'm talking to can't.

There you have it. What about the rest of you?

 

[Raziaar]

Typical American accent for me. The accent I consider to be the most vanilla of all accents.

I want an Australian accent.

 

[Cavalry]

I have a slight Finnish accent,being that I'm finnish

I would love a Southern U.S. accent though

 

[Azner]

I mask my singaporean accent which is a mixture of bad english and a few additional lar, and hor, and leh.

 

[Ennui]

american accent, not what i would describe as very southern but definitely with a lot of southern inflection (it's just subtle).

 

[PortalStormzzzz]

US.


Want russian.

 

[Bad^Hat]

You might not pick it from reading what I type here, but actually whenever I try to say something in real life it always comes out as "I enjoy copulating with wooly cloven-hoofed mammals." It's a very real affliction that effects a great number of sheep shaggers... I mean New Zealanders.

Srsly tho, I've got a pretty typical kiwi accent, I guess. Somewhat deep-voiced (I'd say somewhere inbetween Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, but without the range), and just a touch nasally. I've been told I have quite the sexy phone voice in the past.

Also, Chi's post reminded me of this (skip ahead to about 1:00 in) -

[Geogaddi]

Despite being from the deep south, I don't have a southern accent, although I do speak slowly, but that's mostly because I have braces and I'm trying not to drool everywhere.

 

[Ennui]

I speak quickly and haphazardly and a lot of the time I don't really make a lot of grammatical sense

 

[Hectic Glenn]

el chi, there isn't a chance you are cockney! Your accent is one of class and integrity...but then perhaps I'd be inclined to believe our accents are fairly similiar. I put it to you squire!

 

[morgs]

100% Kiwi accent here, although it's pretty plain, not really an accent.

 

[Jintor]

What? Too many of you damn sheep-shaggers around here. Go back to your woolly baa-ing things, you weirdos.

 

[French Ninja]

Buffalonian English

 

[Sam]

Geordie.

Or Northumbrian if you want to be a picky bastard.

 

[theotherguy]

A mix between East Texas "gentleman", West Texas "cowboy" and even a bit of Michigan nasal.

My Texan friends say I don't sound Texan, but my northern friends make fun of my drawl every now and then.

 

[Kazuki_Fuse]

G'Day codgers, I'm feelin' bloody crook as...Turn on the aircon ya bugger's, this room's as small as a bees dick an' it's hotter than a steel dunnie budgie.

That's how I bloody well talk ya buncha scrags!

 

[Lucid]

I've got a Bahstun accent.
Y'know, go pahk the cah.

Unfortunately for me it's very heavy, people can tell I'm from Boston within seconds of hearing me speak.

 

[Zephos]

Been told I have a strong Australian accent.

 

[morgs]

Jintor, you're just as bad with your Kawala's and Roos.

Do you sound like Sean Connery?

When I speak English I sound like a typical person, except slower and my accent is rather sharper with vowel sounds (in other words I sound Mexican).

 

[Wanted Bob]

Canadian accent.

I really wish I had an Australian accent again...

 

[Que-Ever]

I guess... american. Not quite southern, not quite Californian, sort of in between. I'm gunna try ta type like I talk, but it won't really get thuh message across real clear, I 'on't really change wor's much other 'n slurring 'n stuff.

I also a'mit to lotsa dudes n' likes, but never hella. I hate that word.

PS I also say Missoura.

 

[Stigmata]

My voice is deep and slightly nasal. Typical south-Ontarian Canadian accent I think. I remember reading up on this: "roof" and "true" have the same "oooo" vowel sound, things like that. I tend to slur my words a lot, partly out of spending so much time on the computer a few months ago that I started to forget how to talk properly. I think I also produce slightly too much saliva; not TONS, but a bit too much. If I talk for too long without swallowing then my saliva will reach critical mass and whatever word I was saying collapses into a watery gurgle-spit noise.

 

[Adabiviak]

Full blown 'Californian' accent, which is apparently the lack of an accent. Think Hurley from Lost (yes I say dude a lot).

We're so plain

at least it's not surfer style.

 

[Adabiviak]

I don't think it's plain - nobody else knows how to pronounce vowels :E

Hot.

That is all.

 

[delusional]

I lack an accent.

 

[B.Calhoun]

born and raised long island ny, i never noticed my accent until i went upstate for college and people would call me out on it. kinda funny lol. because ifyou dont know upstate ny is just like being in the south, nothing buts hicks...

 

[Stigmata]

Hot.

That's what she said.

But in all seriousness, the excessive saliva production comes in handy sometimes. :naughty:

 

[Pesmerga]

Oh don't pretend you get any action.

[Asus]

I agree, it makes giving blowjobs MUCH easier.

 

[Nemesis6]

Anyone wanna post a recording of their accent? Would be interesting.

 

[Naph]

Been told I have a strong Australian accent.

As do I

This seems like a good collection of accents.

 

[Stigmata]

Well-played.

 

[Atomic_Piggy]

Stereotypically english. Seriously. Just ask anyone who has been on voice chat with me.

 

[Dynasty]

Slight South African accent, but its an obvious one when i say specific words like;

Off
Black
Izit (as in 'is it really?')
Really

Rest of my accent is, well, 'perfect british'. No accent at all. Non of this typical 'alright bruv? 'ows it goin mate, innit'..wanna kill people that talk with those kind of accents.

 

[Polaris]

Central European accent and fake british accent.
