It's crazy putting voices to faces! I'd do one but it would sound well too weird.

Re: The accent and dialect thread!
I got the other half to do one too.....
http://audioboo.fm/boos/155859-county-durham-accent
& this one is for Liz.....I told him what you said about "boro pat" he wasn't impressed:
http://audioboo.fm/boos/155863-geordie
he's had to tone his accent down a lot, as no one down here could understand him. I too, used to just nod at him when I first met him cos I didn't have a clue what he was going on about.

Re: The accent and dialect thread!
I'm from Coventry (and anybody from Coventry will catagorically deny sounding anything like a Brummie) however I work in Birmingham and lived in Dudley for 2 years... for some reason I picked up the 'days' (I day'nt do it / I didn't do it) and the 'ays' (I ay got one / I haven't got one) from them and I can't for the life of me shake it. However, this is my west midlands accent, I don't know how Brummie it really sounds:

It's a bit of an odd one isn't it! Not quite sharp enough to be cockney, but not quite neutral.Ice_Pick_Abortions wrote:Lorny, your accent just makes me want to pick you up and put in my pocket! You sound adorable :p

Re: The accent and dialect thread!
Aww, I wish I had a mic so I could do this too
My accent gets a lot of interest, being something of a hybrid; part South Wales Valleys, part North Wales, with an apparent slight northwest of England inflection. A lot of people think I'm English, and I've been accused of faking or exaggerating a Welsh accent. A few people have thought I was Scottish too, which is strange as I've never been there before or been subjected to Scottish accents much
How much is a mic for the computer then? I'd probably end up using my 'phone voice' through being nervous, which some people think is rather posh

Re: The accent and dialect thread!
Yeah nah you do sound like you're a bit Kiwi aye ( <Thats my accent haha). Its not so much your accent, but more the words/phrases you use. Like 'sup', 'umm', ' but, yeah...'.Bomber wrote:I usually end up with a bloody Wellington (NZ) accent when I talk. I honestly have no idea why beyond watching far too much Flight of the Conchords.
DreadstarMonstar + partner, your accents are both awesome as. Actually, trying to imagine you guys having a conversation with each other makes me lolz a bit ahhh we don't get to hear many accents like that down here......

My accent is quite common! It's only the high pitch of it what makes it sound cute!

Re: The accent and dialect thread!
I absolutely love this thread! I think I had only heard a couple of peoples voices on here through youtube vid's. Rivet's tute video (obviously!) and IPA's derby video. It's funny how I struggle to remember that we don't all speak with the same accent. I was surprised to hear your voice IPA. Like I'd forgotten you were from Belfast. There are a lot of you brit's that say 'AHsk' where as I would say AARsk' and there are a lot of chavvy kids that now say 'ARKs'. I think they're just trying to sound a bit gangsta. I will do one of these.. when I work out how to upload from my phone.
