Silly accents

[Jinx]

I think I'm pretty terrible at any accent besides a Mexican one.

Do you sound Mexican all the time?

[Jessweeee♪]

I have this terrible mix of Texan and rural Mid-West that leads me to never ever pronounce consonants xD

NCG actually sounds like super intelligent. Something about the way he speaks just makes me think he's a super genius masquerading as a jock.

Implying Mexicans can't be intelligent.

I hate the BAYg ridiculousness.

I have a pretty standard american sound, with the exception of my lazy Utah slur (mow-en/mountain, pitcher/picture, mell/mail, car-mel/caramel, cran/crayon, etc).

Dan told me once that my british accent sounds like a brit trying to sound american. I guess that probably means it's terrible.

I have a relatively unusual accent for someone from London. Thanks to 7 years in speech therapy I have a relatively posh accent (ever more accenuated when I get called posh which invariably draws a "I am not posh!" comment from me which will be somehow the poshest thing ever) Even in my home suburbs I sound different and often get asked where I'm from. No one it seems can place me, they know it's British but they have trouble with the where from part. I've grown used to the "You're from Finchley? Seriously you don't sound like it at all!" comments I get from other Londoners. I'm also able to dumb down my accent to a more East London style, it helps at times because in some parts of London if I spoke like I normally would I could end up in a fight just because they thought I was posh.

I'm fairly good at mimicking people's accents if I'm around them enough. This means I can do an American accent, I can also throw a good southern drawl in to it if I have to. I've got my weakspots with that though but generally I can convince people I am an American if I want to.

I can also do an Irish accent, it's definitely a southern accent which is quite funny. I've convinced people Irish people of my Irish nationality before or at least of my Irish heritage. Normally if I'm convincing people of this I say I'm from Dublin, most people won't question it too deeply.

I recently went to Scotland and have found that since then I can do a passable Glaswegian accent. I say passable because there is a lot of work to do with it to make it convincing but it's still funny to hear me around Scottish people especially after a few when my accent naturally begins to match theirs and I begin using Scottish slang terms.

I'm also fairly acceptable at doing an Aussie accent, working with a fair few aussies, living with 2 aussies and being based on an area of SW London which may as well be "Little Australia" means I am exposed to this and the South African accents all the time. I'm definitely better at Australian than South African but I can do both on demand.

I love doing accents! I do a really good Posh California accent & a good Scottish one too. As for my own accent I have what is described as a neutral accent. I don't really sound Irish at all. I've been told by quite a few American's that I sound like I'm from Conneticut of all places

I have been told I have a typical, midwestern US accent. Maybe a hint of the good old "CHICAGA" in there too.

[Miss Lady Shelly]

Sometimes but not often when first meeting people they tend to think im from Jersey or New York, but i think its one of the many different Chicago accents out there.

i always say boigehs instead of burgers

[Old Manus]

I sound like a slightly lower-key Rhod Gilbert. Yeah.

[Quindiana Jones]

I'm a chameleon, man, a smurfing chameleon. I go where I want; nobody knows I'm not native! I blend in, like. Iranian here, Scottish there, hey look a friendly old Jap! Gimme a bit of make-up, and I could be you!

Maybe I already am.

[Jowy]

i hope nobody here ever has to talk to a yinzer, it's pretty unpleasant.

I do not. I think I sound like a white boy from California, but not a surfer.

Dak, I love you.
