Whats your accent?

[Rezfon]

Scottish

Reminds me of when I was on XBL and I was playing CoD4 and some kid said "When you speak you sound Scottish, have you ever been to Scotland before?" and I'm just thinking *facepalm*

 

[BrainedbySaucepans]

Depends on who I'm speaking to; with people I don't know so well I tend to speak with a stereotypical English 'Received Pronunciation' accent, but I've noticed that with my mates I tend to slip into a more casual north London style voice.

Not really sure why I do this, could be cos my accent got taken the piss out of a lot when I first went to secondary school...

basic monotone with very slight southern american accent

Well, I'm from Colorado. I guess that gives me an American accent? We say mountain differently than most though...so we're kinda distinguished, right?

Im from Colorado too and I don't think we have an accent.

to be fair, few ppl actually notice if they have an accent, since they are use to it

If you record yourself speak then play it back, you REALLY notice your accent.

Back on topic: I'm from Northern Ireland, but there isn't really a 'Northern Irish' accent, it changes depending on where you grew up. Even going from one part of Belfast to another you notice a change in the accent. My parents were both from Belfast so I've sort of picked that up, but I have been told I sound Scottish, Irish and American, not quite sure where that last one comes from but oh well.

I have a fairly non specific English accent, with a hint of Manchester every now and then, but not too much thankfully.

 

[Adam Jenson]

Australian I'd suppose though. Funny cause when I was 7 I spoke with an American one. Specifically an accent that sounded like Elvis.

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

I have an American accent, midwest. It's the most plain accent I know of. I wish I had an Irish accent, but I'd rather have this than others though I guess.

 

[jimjulius]

Scottish. Actually thats pretty vague there. I could tell the difference between a Perth and Dundee accent, and they are less than 30 miles away.

But you american guys who think you have a neutral accent? Come on! The american twang is the most recocnisable accent on Earth (Calling it an accent even though it's a massive subset of accents). English speaking peoples from all over the world know where you are from the instant you talk within twenty meters.

Don't think you are different, chaps. The only differance is that the scottish accent is sexy!

 

[JokerGrin]

English guy from Oxfordshire, so I sound like some kind of demented farmer.

 

[Dommyboy]

No idea. I am from Australia but I sound like I am from Wales apparently.

 

[Mrsoupcup]

I ahve a sexy Scotish Acccent which is funn y because when I vist my Mom's family at
chritmas (thier spanish) All her friends think I'm my sexy, but not my cousin I'm Canadian not some imbread Texan.

 

[oni565]

Western Canadian here also.

 

[Corven]

According to the above illustration I would have a "western" accent.

 

[PirateKing]

Uhhh...American I guess. Though I can do a lot of different voices. A bizarre amount of voices you might say.

 

[Berethond]

I have 'a Midland accent'

"You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

Neutral Mid-Atlantic.

In Hollywood terms - No Accent.

Which is b.s since EVERYONE has an accent no matter where they're from.

...I was being sarcastic.

New York/Jewish, depending on how upset I am.

Well I don't think I have an accident but since if I went somewhere where other people have accents they'd probably say I'm the one with an accent, I suppose it would be this since that's my location/ethnicity. Or maybe just a general northern accent, since I don't really know what a New York/Jewish accent would sound like. I know what a Brooklyn accent would sound like, but I certainly don't have that. I don't know about my accent changing between New York and Jewish depending on my emotional state. How does that work exactly?

I'm from New York, and that is my natural accent. But my family is incredibly Jewish, and has that nasally accent, and when I get really angry, I sort of slip into it. A Jewish accent is very similar to a Long Island accent, but less pronounced and more nasally.

 

[Wolf Blade]

New Zealand with a strong dash of (stereotype) British, which apparently gets more noticeable when i'm tired.
