Show us your accent!

[Trivun]

I'm from north east england, and to anyone in thge north east, i sound like a smoggie (means im from middlesbrough) but as soon as you go further south, everyone thinks im a geordie (people from newcastle) It gets quite annoying

I can easily differentiate the Geordie and Liverpudlian (Scouse) accents, as it happens I live with three Scousers myself However, despite living in the North at the moment (Leeds is North East, after all...), I can't really distinguish any other northern accents. Or south, for that matter, though I can tell the different accents that make up the Midlands (I'm Black Country myself, though some say I have a Brummie accent even though it's completely different :s).

For those who can't find recording software just go grab audacity.

 

[sky14kemea]

If I had good recording software I would but... This is a really cool idea, I wish I could contribute. :\
I still haven't revealed who I am to anyone on here yet...

i havent even told anyone my real name yet

If this thread is still going tomorrow then I promise I'll make a video for you.

We'll just have to keep it going for as long as possible then It should be though, it doesn't break any rules or guidelines that I know of, and most people have said it's a good idea

 

[Lord George]

I'd do one but my sheer magnificence would just kill all of you, also I'm tired. (also people may track me down and kill me.)

 

[Lyri]

What programme did you use to record this?

I'm game lol.

 

[Nerples]

Aww... I wish I had a webcam or a microphone otherwise I'd have tried this. Well I'm from England so it's not anything special. And I live in Stafford in Staffordshire, the only county without a regional accent. So yeah. Some people say I sound northern but meh. I'm 30 miles from any Brummie accent so that's a plus.

The only county without a regional accent? Stafford maybe, but venture into Stoke and you'll hear the voices of angels! (if they got their heads kicked in on a daily basis). I'm from Stoke, so I have a Stokie accent which is like an uglier version of Mancunian, but mine is only slight. It gets worse when i'm angry or drunk however...

I can't believe no-one else has actually posted yet! We've got a couple of "I will tomorrows" and that's it XD COME ON YOU GUYS

I literally just recorded myself on my psp (I have the camera attatchment thing) and then uploaded it to youtube. A digital camera works too. You can upload it to photobucket or something else instead if you don't want a video of yourself on youtube

Oh yes I forgot about Stoke. I stand corrected.

There are so many threads on here about accent so let's hear them. Post a video or whatever of you answering these simple questions:

1) What's your name?
2) How old are you?
3) Where are you from? Are you living there right now?
4) What's the time?
5) What was the last thing you listened to?
6) What was the last video game you played?
7) What's your favorite video game? Why?
8) Quick! Find a book, or something with text on it! Flip to a random page and read some of it! GO!
9) What was the last movie you saw? How was it?
10) Do YOU think you have an accent? Talk about that.

Here's my efforts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar7PzPLf3es

Now go go! If you're camera shy just post a voice recording or something, but it would be nice to see some faces! Alternatively if you're really arrogant, do it naked.

I don't have a camera handy... >_<
edit: i'm sowwie... >_<
edit 2: wait wait! I have a camera handy now! doing it noooow...

 

[nolongerhere]

I'll try doing this tomorrow, but talking at this time will get me bollocked, as will ransacking the house in the search for the digital camera.

 

[Lyri]

Gimme a bit, my bro just came downstairs.

It doesn't allow for him to watch TV and for me to record all this at the same time, so.
Shouldn't be too long but I'm still game.

 

[gavinator93]

actually to be honest i really dont talk enough to notice that i have an accent,to be even more honest im not entierly fond of talking, but its pretty much someone from coventry falling under the 'no steryotype' area of the populace.

It's gone midnight here, and my family are asleep. I couldn't even if I wanted to.

 

[Nmil-ek]

If I did not have this annoying spot on my cheek I would, call me vain but I get nervous over stuff like that.

Sleep is for the weak, wake them up!
