Well, here's mine.
I don't have a camera, so I just got audio with my headset.

I apologize for breathing into the microphone...
Also, somehow the last second got cut off.
I said "noticeable".
Oh nice! German! I did German for GCSE but I'm still really bad. Your english is amazing!

I don't really want to record myself because I hate the sound of my own voice. So, you can use your imagination!

I lived in Essex until I was 23, before moving to south-east London nearly three years ago. My voice is neither particularly low or high (for reference, most things sung by Morrissey are right on my range) and I put on a lot of stupid voices.

If you're getting images of Russell Brand... you're probably not far off.

Here is what I look like

Nice pic, but sadly the link isn't working, do you think you could upload it again or put it on some file sharing site like some of the others did and send the link from there?

Also, don't worry, you can all hear the beauty of the greatest of the West Midlands accents soon enough, I'll be sure to post later today :)
Done :D

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.
You wouldn`t happen to be german now would you ja naturlich?? (one of the few bits of german i actually know)

I'd have contributed on this thread, but I don't know if my webcam's got a mic or not...

It's a good idea for a thread. (Guess it's not much help to just say I've got a Yorkshire accent).

FOUND YOU!

I was wondering who Zignis (spelling?) was on youtube. Finally clicked the right one!

Hello :p

Hello, yes. Actually "Halceon" was both in the video and it's description, so you've done a bit of futile searching.

It was?

Well as I said, I was doing chemistry as I was listening/reading, so I was somewhat distracted :)

Also, futile searching is better than no searching at all

Quick! A viking is stealing your baby!
Hope you meant that as a compliment cause I'm taking it as one. Prefer the appearance and fighting style of a Native American, which I do in fact have quite a bit in me, but the Norsemen are fairly awesome also. Overall, I don't have a dominant nationality. My ancestory preferred to 'get around.'


edit: It's funny to hear myself cause my voice sounds so much deeper than what I hear when I talk. I actually feel like I'm listening to my kid brother speaking and not myself.

How could being a Viking not be a compliment?
I also have that voice thing, it's something to do with your ears being closer than everyone elses.

Edit: I'll finally make a video when I get a new mic.
