Does anyone else's accents change when they're around certain people/situations? I have a plain American accent, but a southern drawl comes out when I hear it a lot. I can't help it and it's kind of annoying to me. A southern accent is also my "straight" voice lol.
[youtube]4YCQ3PIm5b0[/youtube] My accent is a little thicker than hers, but something along those lines. It gets even worse(better?) whenever I hear someone with a southern accent. I've had family from California tell me I run all my words together too, so they have trouble understanding me :lol:
Imagine a very premature and unsexy version of Jeremy Irons... I'd say a very light version of received pronunciation. I tend not to use slang when talking to people... but dude and mate are two that I use very often.
Sometimes I wonder if I have a thick Long Island accent. Then I listen to Theresa Caputo's voice and realize I'm lucky.
Well, I was born and raised in Texas.... Some people have asked me where I was from, because I dont sound "Texan".... While others ask if I AM from Texas, cause I sound like I am from there.
American. Then when I speak Czech with family, I have a South Bohemian accent. (My family's from Jihočeský Kraj, so yeah.)
I have a NE Ohio accent, which is apparently a thing, who knew, lol. We say things like Pop (soft drink or soda) Warsh (wash, we add an R) Ain't (are not or in place of isn't) adding an to the end of some words i.e No is No-a Janky (wrong, broken or sill) is starting to become more common Y'all (you all)
I have an American Accent. So I sound to the British the same way southerners sound to me. Kind of weird how that works...
I'm from Minnesota, I have a lot of long oooooooooo's. Like when people are trying to get me to do something - noooooooooooo. Otherwise, not really. There is a reason why people come to the Midwest to become radio hosts.
I have an Australian accent and I pronounce the letter h like haytch. My teacher tried to get me to pronounce it aytch but I didn't like it. I'm sure other people do this as well.
definitely a vermont accent, and it's pretty stereotypical american except people say we don't pronounce our t's. for example, mountain is pronounced like moun'ain and vermont like vermawn', with a little caught breath where the t should be
Hen is similar to saying 'darling' and it's usually directed at women. Sometimes I've gotten called hen because I still look young. I feel as if they're calling me a lad or sonnyboy. It's a little annoying, but they're usually only being playful. It obviously depends on the intent of the speaker. Yer rite aboot 'ken.' For example, one might say I dinna ken fit tae dee! I huhnae dane mah hamewurk fur skale an I'm weel f**ked noo. I hink I'm gonnae drap oot! I speak somewhat incomprehensible english/scottish.
You sounded like you could be a Californian till I heard the twang and sort of a southern drawl on some words You sound like an upstate new yorker. British... but a very light accent I think I have a slight valley girl accent... someone has described my voice as "jazzy" like a female jazz singer. Its really weird that sometimes people will turn around and look when I speak... its not what I'm saying I could just be saying something normal. its kinda funny.
I would say I have a Glaswegian accent. I've heard people say they love the Scottish accent but in truth there are different accents in different areas
