Your accent

I guess I have a General American accent. It's a growing trend for me to revisit people and be told that it's becoming slightly southern, although I'm unsure if they're being serious or just messing about with me. As far as I can remember, I've always enunciated certain words or phrases a certain way that sounds southern, but more as a way of emphasizing statements rather than a result of my general way of speaking.
 
Accent like Arnold Schwarzenegger/Italian, with a chaotic mix of A.E. and B.E. combined with bad grammar :D
 
I can put on a pretty good british accent if I want to, otherwise I think I sound pretty neutral when I speak english. But then I'm not really sure what a swedish accent sounds like.

I'm informed that I sound quite posh when I'm on voice with this horrible lot, but a lot of people tell me I sound quite Franglais. Which is fitting. Seeing as that is what I am.

But mostly British, whatwhat.

Only you're really a Scottish 13-year-old boy.

:naughty:

I have no accent myself, I am far too perfect in the way I pronounce things.
 
I don't know. I mean, it's really bland and boring and I'm from the North "Post apocalyptic wasteland" East so, you know.

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

Do people actually think that? D:


I have a Northern Irish accent, but that isn't very specific, accents vary a LOT for such a small place.

For any aussies among you I'm from the same town as Jimeoin, so I sound quite like that minus whatever australianisms he picked up.
 
General Scottish. Not really weej, not really borders, not really tuchtor, just.... Scottish.

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).

Errr, Sean Connery's as British as they come is he not?

Watch The Departed, and listen to the Boston cops... or specifically listen to Matt Damon talk.

Or listen to this http://youtube.com/watch?v=RbK4cL3QSc0

Do you know where I live? D:

Or just Northumberland in general. It's a fairly big place.
 
Lancashire/Cheshire hybrid.
 
Just listen to any interview with Cevat Yerli and you'll get a pretty good idea of what I sound like. :|
 
I have a "Californian" accent. Although I don't think I have an accent at all. It's pretty plain and doesn't really sound like anything. Not distinctive in my opinion, but to someone from another part of the English-speaking world, maybe it is. I probably say "like" and "dude" more than other English-speakers, though.
 
I also have a Californian accent. Albeit mine is more intellectual than others.
Okay, 90% of my school.
 
Hahaha, Californian IS an accent... Jeeeeze.
 
It all depends on where I am and my emotional state. I pick up new accents very quickly if I'm introduced to a new one (like in a new city), but as soon as I get a bit stressed or angry I turn back to my "standard" accent. I've been living in Gothenburg all my life (until recently) so I favour the primitive sounds of "???h!" (which you don't know how it sounds :P) and the like.

When it comes to English:

Neutral American accent for me.:p Although, I wonder how many of you are really telling the truth? Have you guys been counting speech impediments like stuttering, slurring, mumbling, etc.?
 
A mixture of Khaleeji and Bahrani...which'd probably just sound generic "Middle-Eastern" to the untrained Western ear.
 
Upper class British accent. Queen's English... apparently. D:
 
I's speak Americun, so I gots an Americun accident when I speaked.
 
I slip into a pronounced Southern accent around the right people (like my grandparents).
 
I live in New York but not the city so i don't have that NY accent you always hear. I live in the rural part of NY so i have a plain american accent. Im not sure how to put it.
 
Typical Australian accent for me. Ikerous, Raziaar and some others have heard it before. Some people irl think I have a canadian accent, I don't know why. T-T
