Haha, sorry:P And I really, really don't have a posh accent either, it's just a typical geordie one:/ Depending on how I feel, I *might* re-post something, when I stop being a coward.
But you so have to post your accent! I've jut realised I have no idea where in England you are! You're not cockney, are you? That would be strange.
Aww, Geordie accents are so nice though! ^_^ And don't worry about the cowardice; I've chickened out twice already when I promised I'd do it before :/ Maybe I'll do it at the weekend, or whenever my house is next empty :)
I'm from Gloucestershire, but mine's such an odd accent. My parents come from opposite sides of the country, Nottinghamshire and Devon, and sound as if they're speaking different languages their accents are so different. The result is that my accent sounds like a bizarre tour of English regional dialects compressed into a voice that isn't very expressive even when I'm enthusiastic :/ And then there's my stutter, which makes matters no better :( If I could change one thing about me it would be my voice :P
:O! If you have the accent I think you might have, you seriously have to post something:P! Do you sound like the stereotypical "farmer", because a friend of mine from devon has that accent, and it's literally the best accent I have *ever* heard!
Oh, I SO wish I had the full-on farmer! There's a proper accent :D
I've got a few hints of farmer in there definitely, but they're mostly hidden underneath my higher percentage of posh-ness :(
If you want to gauge how confused my accent is: you know how most southerners always use long vowels (as in "Grarss") and most northerners use short vowels (as in "GrAss")? Most people are more-or-less consistent about which way they pronounce words like "grass", "pass", "glass" etc. but every time I come to a word that ends with "-ass", I have to think for at least five seconds so my brain can work out what my own pronunciation is :P Even my own brain can't seem to work out how I talk, it's such a jumble :)
The real one?! How would you do that? I felt like the 4 clips were too formal for me to speak properly, although I completely butchered the Gettysburg Address anyway, oops. I didn't even get to say "why aye man" or "howay", or my number one Geordie phrase "A divint kna"!
And if I haven't heard nothern, then I don't even know what northern is anymore:P!
I don't sound anything like I did in the clip. And I can't speak any of the four choices because they sound daft in my accent. A divint kna leek me-silf, aye?
You sounded so much better than me. I can't believe you are bothered by it. :P
And I can't help it! I hate my voice! And everyone else had really pretty, american accents, and then there's me with my stupid, harsh accent! I might do another one, maybe the IIN quote up at the top, since those who managed to hear my old clip have been really nice. Bleurgh, I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
Haha, out of all the things I thought my accent could be called, adorable certainly wasn't on the list:P! Thank you, that was very nice of you to say that:).
Should we expect to hear your voice anytime soon:P?
Haha, it is. You're a little bit evil, aren't you:P?!
Bleh, I think I'll probably end up doing it later on, when it's quiet and I'm alone. I'm thinking of doing the IIN quote after all, I should just stay away from things which are very American. That text seems like a funny choice, though, considering how true it is after yesterday. I guess I must be a "primitive" person.
Is it normal voice/accent comparison

But your accent is the best! You sound a bit like those guys who read audio ebooks, just a northern version:P.
And I'm a bit mortified that anyone got to hear that:/ Ugh, I'm so embarrassed now!

No! :O I missed your dulcet, banana-y tones! :( Which is a shame, because I enjoy a good posh accent, or a northern one for that matter :)

Haha, it did:) Five seconds, though, that's crazy:O!
Gr.........................................ass:)
Haha, I can't even imagine that! Maybe you should post your accent to help me out a bit? I'm not very subtle am I:P?
Wait until you hear the real one I am recording. You haven't heard northern until you've heard my real accent. :P
