  • 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

      • Wey aye! A reckon y should dee 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?

            • I didn't think I had an accent or that there was an American accent... this project has already taught me something. Leave the country more often XD

          • 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.

            • Completely evil. :) And still not used to seeing you yellow. :P

              Nobody else who posted has an accent like ours that suits itself to conversation but not to speeches. I don't know if you're up for doing this too but what I was thinking of doing was an English -> Manc dictionary, like I'd say something with the accent I first posted with and then I say it in my real Manc.

              Like for: "Perchance, are you looking at me?" I'd say:

              "Yeah, alright, knobby, wind yer neck in, eh?".

              Between us, we could offer IIN a public service. I'm sure there's not many non-Brits that have heard, "Ahh, howay, pet, I'm ganning oot for a bit". Not that you probably ever say that. :P

              • I don't really like the yellow either, it's too chirpy. And as much as I don't want to say it...I liked the purple!

                I agree with the conversation thing. The thing that makes my accent obvious is the words I use, if that makes sense? And with speeches you have to say certain words, instead of the ones you'd actually use in a conversation:/. My accent might have sounded noticeable on the clip, but the only thing which I thought had my accent was when "er" sounds turned into "a" sounds, although I'm not sure, since I can't notice my own accent obviously.

                And I like that idea, but I don't think I say nearly enough Geordie phrases to do it. I could easily say things like "gannin' oot", but I never say them, so it would probably be a bit unnatural. I'd probably be able to do it with words though, like just saying a list of different words in my accent:).
