This is mine. It's a quote from Henry Rollins. On this recording I over-pronounce a bit, definitely more than I usually do, especially at the start. http://vocaroo.com/i/s0evwLhS8Jj0
P.S. I hope a lot of people do this because it's a nice idea and I want to hear all your voices :)
I'd like that - plenty of people at school had it, although the town I live in is fairly central and increasingly gentrified too. I like the Forest though, so maybe one day that'll be me.
I've lived mostly in Wales for university for a year and a half now, but I've been living with students from a variety of backgrounds so I'd be surprised if it shows in my accent. It's general enough as it is to show any more influences.
Well I didn't get any hint of Scottish - maybe it's because he's enunciating every syllable? His accent sounds very clean to me; English, but I can't pick up on any inflection suggesting where in England.
That's right. I do a short "a" rather than a long "a". Bath is "ba!-th' rather than "bar-th". In my town it's not totally uncommon, but the long, southern "a" is more common. I have other southern accent traits to balance it out though, for example I don't use the glottal stop in the same way my northern family members do (although you wouldn't hear it on this recording as I'm enunciating more clearly than I usually would :P).
Nice! Thank you so much dom180, you saved me...was feeling really awkward. Very cool animated reading, I think I sound a bit monotonous. I imagined you'd have a southern accent. I get a blank with accents sometimes, are you Scottish?
Thanks for what you say about my reading. I had a speech impediment when I was child and my parents took me to see a speech therapist. Speech therapists also teach you how to do public speaking and speak with animation, so that's where that comes from :P
I'm English, from the west country. That is southern in a sense but it's quite a rural accent, and I also have some northern in my accent which I get from my dad :P It's quite an unusual accent and most people can't place it. Whereabouts are you from? :)
I guess Scottish was a dumb guess then! Has anyone ever said that before? I really do get confused with British accents...I grew up in South London/Kent.

Your voice is cool, OP :) Who are you?

You should've read it angrily. Especially on "blithering idiot". It would've went perfect with your voice ;)

Haha! I wish I could do a better range of emotion in my voice, but I'm a terrible actor - I can only do it when I really feel it :P
Slightly disappointed you don't have more of a West County twang :D
You need to live a few years in the deepest, darkest parts of The Forest of Dean - then people will definitely be able to place your accent. Oo arrr!
Nice reading, though :)

You should post one, if you're up to it :)
Does dom180 sound Scottish, or was I way off with that?

"Pass" and "basket" were not pronounced in the standard southern way.

You sound exactly like I thought you would, I must be psychic...
