What's with the Accent?
So, my friends are apparently annoyed with my alledge "Amercian accent", which is such an irritating platitude, especially considering how many different accents there are, depending on where you're from in the States.
My friends are really dumb.
- Do you have a specific accent?
- Is there a certain accent that just makes you cringe?
- Do you ever fake an accent?
Yes. I speak like a Chinese Canadian.

I guess I have an american accent as anyone not form the US would call it. Otherwise I don't really think I have one.
I live in the south now and occasionally i'll find myself having an osmosis accent. I do it out of humor to myself more often than naught. I tend to notice accents, certain words that are said differently. Sometimes I repeat them to a person after they say it which just usually garners myself funny looks. I often try to emulate them but I have to be around them so I can really pick up words. Seeing as how I'm smack-dab in the middle of hickville, I can't really acquire any peculiar ones. That's why my British and Australian impressions are horrendous.
Being here, with this ridiculous accent they have, I instantly think they are much less intelligent. When they can't say some of the most basic words and phrases without butchering them like a serial killer on crack, I can't take what they say seriously. As of now though, this is the only accent I've been immersed in so I don't have much of a comment or an opinion on many others. I just know the southern hickabilly accent makes me cringe.
Occasionally I'll use said accent on people and then after a time passes, I'll change how I talk to how I am normally. It has quite hilarious results.
I have an accent, but hell if I know what it is. Gets called East Coast, West Coast, British, and Australian. I don't really see any of them fitting.
Boy am I an unfunny ass.
It's impossible to not have an accent.
I have a Midwestern accent. It's the same that you would hear on American television programs. And having been raised by TV, it makes sense.
Also living in the Midwest but yeah TV = awesome
Coco: "What's your name?"
Bret: "It's Bret."
Coco: "Bri... Buritt? Britt? Like Brittney?"
Bret: "No, Bret, like... B-R-E-T."
Coco: "Oh, I see. It just sounded like Brit. I love your British accent."
Bret: "It's New Zealand, actually."
Coco: "Oh, New Zealand! They have vikings there, right?"
Bret: "... yeah."
I sounds like a uh vermonter?
Just...generic American I guess. Someone who's familiar with enough American accents might be able to tell I'm from Texas when I slip and say things like "fixin' ta."
- Do you have a specific accent?
Apparently! Someone from NY asked where I was from...
- Is there a certain accent that just makes you cringe?
Boston. It was pretty difficult watching The Town and The Departed.
- Do you ever fake an accent?
Sometimes! My accent is a mixture of various parts of the world sometimes just because I'm freakish. Also depends on if you hear me over the phone, over mic, or in person. In person my voice is much higher.
I assume I sound like most of the people on regular American TV.
I'm from California, we don't have accents.
I have an English accent, which therefore means I have no accent at all as I speak the language the way it is meant to be spoken, so suck on that you rotten bloody foreigners
Every town in Britain pretty much has its own accent, but I think I've been lucky that I haven't picked up my own town's accent, as I think it sounds smurfing stupid. I remember as a kid hearing a classmate saying 12 as "Twalve" and thinking "What is wrong with you, why aren't you saying Twelve? There is clearly an e in there!" No British person has ever told me they think I have a regional accent, so I think I've gotten away with it and have ended up with a pretty generic English accent.
I like to make my own accent sometimes. Like just pronouncing words weirdly but in a very fluid, common way as to make people think I just talk like that. My goal is to be able to sound like any number of characters on Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, especially Steve Brule. prizza.

"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
That's real daggone funny, cause frum down in dees here parts, when we hear tell of folk like you talkin', we'uns jus' think they have a stick up they hind end.
