Which means I sound posh to anyone from more than a few miles away, but still from the north.
And to anyone further away, I sound like the god of seduction.
My voice has been described as posh by many people but I disagree, I think I just speak properly. I am from an area of north England where the English language has been twisted and distorted beyond recognition - I'm sure there are many English people who can relate.
The point being a long time ago I decided on my own terms that I didn't want to speak that way and have spoke 'properly' ever since.
Most new people I speak to think I'm not from the area and are quite surprised when I tell them I've lived here all my life.
I seriously have no freakin' idea. I mean, my voice sounds one way to me, but when we were testing out or webcam and replayed the video it sounded completely different to what I thought it did ... so yeah, I have no idea what I sound like.
Depends who I'm talking to. If I'm talking to normal customers I put on my only moderately deep voice with "happy pleasant tone" applied. If I'm talking to asshole dickhead fucktard reject little teenage customers, I use my deep voice combined with a don't-give-two-fucks tone.
To friends it's just monotone fairly deep voice. To friend's parents, it's the same as the normal customer voice.
Need moar clips here would put one up if i wasn't at school right now - but there's one in the "show us your accent" thread.
OT: I dunno, in my head it's kind of light medium, but recorded it's a lot deeper, and I think others interpret it like that too...been told it's more like deep medium. I also have a slight norwegian accent, and I obviously speak slowly. When I raise it it becomes a bit raspy and likely to crack.
Fairly deep, but tends to get high-pitched when excited or indignant.
The accent is a horrific blend of Australian and Mancunian, with the odd Irish phrase pooping up now and again.
