Cube Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Mine seems to be a standard, boring English accent. Although I say a few words with a Welsh accent.
Ramar Posted January 29, 2011 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.
AndyWylde Posted January 29, 2011 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.
gaggle64 Posted January 29, 2011 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.
MoogleViper Posted January 29, 2011 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 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.
Frank Posted January 29, 2011 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.
ReZourceman Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Surprisingly there aren't TONNES of videos with me talking absolutely normally. This one is absolutely completely 100% normal me.
chairdriver Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Met Laura's new boyfriend today. He thought I was from "That town between North Wales and Liverpool". Lel.
Frank Posted January 29, 2011 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. She was just staring out the window, smiling. I could tell. She had a purpose.
Shorty Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Surprisingly there aren't TONNES of videos with me talking absolutely normally. This one is absolutely completely 100% normal me. Sounds the same as 0% normal you from all the other videos.
ReZourceman Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 In this one I'm speaking in a real situation and unscripted/unthought out at least. :p

James Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 People think i have a scouse accent, I see it in some words I say, but c'mon, i'm as far north england before you get to scotland.
Nolan Posted January 29, 2011 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 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...
Jon Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 You're from Scotland? I take it you either have spent a lot of time out with Scotland/doing a Lulu?
The fish Posted January 29, 2011 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.
chairdriver Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 You're from Scotland? I take it you either have spent a lot of time out with Scotland/doing a Lulu? Lived in Scotland for 13 of my (nearly) 20 years. *shrugs*
Jon Posted January 29, 2011 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. I closed my eyes and heard Daniel Radcliffe
Fierce_LiNk Posted January 29, 2011 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.
The fish Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I closed my eyes and heard Daniel Radcliffe I'm putting that down to the same reason that you (probably) sound to me like everyone in Taggart.
Jon Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 I'm putting that down to the same reason that you (probably) sound to me like everyone in Taggart. 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
