Cube Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Mine seems to be a standard, boring English accent. Although I say a few words with a Welsh accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I guess my accent can be described as a 'shitman's london accent', not really quite a London accent but holds similarities. I guess that's due to being not so far from Greater London and the fact local towns are generally cast offs from London back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyWylde Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I was with a scouse girl for 3yrs, loved her accent. Some of her family and friends had truly awful accents though. Can't stand the thick Scottish accent and some Lancashire accents really bug me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I get told by a lot of folks I sound like an American, and occasionally Irish. Not entirely sure why but there it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 it's like a much, much harsher and sharper Barnsley accent without the warmth. Done right = Jarvis Cocker. Done wrong = pikey fuckholes in the job centre. Harsher than the Barnsley accent? Seriously? the Barnsley accent is definitely the worst Yorkshire accent.

Ashley Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I think rather than saying "I don't really have an accent" or "I have a rather plain accent" we should post audio/visual proof! But not me as I don't have anything at present. And not ReZ either because the sound of his voice is burned into our collective memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Times like this I'm feckin' proud to be Iur-ish. Any thread I see about accents the Irish accent is usually quite popular in sexiness. Ooh yeah. Then again you should listen to the women in Limerick. LOL :P it's brilliant As for mee, I'm from "de wesht". So a culchie accent I have.

Frank Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 New sig = win She reminds me of a philosophical-looking girl I saw today when I was eating soup in a café.

Nolan Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I have the generic Midwestern American accent. With slight southern twangs in some words as my mother grew up in Florida. Famous people from Michigan (e.g. possible similar accents) being Bruce Campbell, Eminem, and Madonna. I cba to do a recording right now so deal with it.

Supergrunch Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Using The North Wind and the Sun to demonstrate your accent makes you cool. I have a sound file of me doing it somewhere, which I'll try and dig up later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fish Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I realise I said 'shone' instead of 'shined', but that's because I, as you can probably tell from the accent, speak British English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I've used your idea Grunchie/Grunchy/SugerGrunch and I've uploaded a sound file of me performing your little poem. I don't think its my natural voice, mainly because I had to speak a bit loudly to make myself heard on this laptop's crappy microphone. I hope you guys can hear it. http://dl.toofiles.com/vaaoje/audios/1312_untitled.wma I don't really have an obvious accent I don't think. I sound like a cross between my Mum (I think so anyway), my Brighton friends, a few friends from Wales and I've noticed that I'm picking up words off Ine. If anyone can figure out what the hell I am or sound like, I'll be most grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Glaswegian, I probably sound more like Annie Lennox*. *Not the woman part obviously, there's just a distinct lack of famous people from Aberdeen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
