    I have a southern accent, but it's not very obvious, I think. It wouldn't be noticeable at all, if I didn't have to speak vowels. =O

    I never really thought I had an accent. I mean, even in the northern-midwest like myself, plenty of people talk like southerners and I don't sound anything like that.

    The easiest way to say it is: I talk in the same way that I type.




    Unless I'm mad.

    I don't have a default accent. It changes according to where I am and who I am talking to. It weirded out Jess' friends because I don't have a British accent talking to them, for instance.

    My accent is a fairly typical southern english, but I have a bad habit of absorbing accents, if I'm hanging around people with distinct voices. I'll end up being all scottish, or welsh, or even indian, with prolonged exposure to their accents.

    I never said "ya'll" unless I was joking around until I came to college in the south.

    I seem to do this too which I try to watch when I'm at work cause I don't want to seem like I'm insulting the customers... I run into a surprising number of foreigners and people whom english is their second language.

    I don't quite know how my accent would be defined cause its not nearly as distinct as other regions of the States. I guess western? Though I've been told by quite a few people I have an English (some would say Boston) accent.

    Bermudians generally have a really distinct accent. Compared to most people my age, mine is rather mild, but if you heard me talk you would definitely hear it.

    I *can* talk in the thick Bermudian accent, but it makes me feel stupid somehow :P but I think I have to adapt my accent to my location, because something that might sound normal to me, an american wouldn't be able to understand what I say because it's different.

    If someone could give me somethin to read I could probably record myself. I'm pretty bad at spontaneous speaking.

    Around Scousers or family, my Liverpudlian accent comes out. Otherwise I've been told that I've got a fairly posh voice.

    People have asked if I'm British before, so I assume I've a British accent. Odd, as I've never been out of Australia before.

    Like a lot of New Zealanders, my accent is very changeable. When I'm talking, my accent switches depending on who I'm talking to. My grandfather's from Yorkshire so when I talk to him my accent sort of becomes half-Kiwi half-English. Also, sometimes people think I'm mocking them because I copy people's accents when I'm talking to them.

    I don't think my Kiwi accent is very strong.
