Why has Michelle changed her accent?

[InOne]

I loved her proper Geordie accent before :(

[janaddy86]

Something to do with living away from home maybe?

[Smithy]

Thats what i thought, jan, she'll have moved to London and just lost it

[smudgie]

6 years in London.
:hugesmile:

[InOne]

Eh, 6 years in London means fack all tbh. People keep their accents for life...

[eye sea]

Still sounds a Geordie to me....

[smudgie]

Geordies don't. Look at Denise Welsh and Sting to name but two.
TV presenters up here turn it on and off as well:hugesmile:

:joker::joker: Nah, it just takes too long for the Southerners to understand them. Even here just up the road some of us find it hard.:hugesmile:

[Shasown]

Its because the rest of the eejits in the UK dont know how to speak proper. So we have to tone the accent of the master race down. It also helps alleviate the insecurities and jealousy of the lesser races.

Bet it appears when she forgets herself and whenever she pops home.

Apparently accents are pretty 'set' at a young age. If you move to another part of the country, or another country entirely, and make a concious decision to want to change to fit in you will pretty easily.

I moved from the Midlands to the North West but was determined to keep my accent and I have. I've been here years now.

Joss Stone notoriously developed an American twang overnight - as has Nadine from Girls Aloud - so the answer is: yes you can, but have to want to.

[chuff me dizzy]

oi, stop being mean you :nono:

Stop being mean ? are you serious ? it was one of THE most vile hm8s of al ltime

[chuff me dizzy]

I was talking to a chap from Yorkshire(Gods county)who emigrated to Canada in 1957 ,he STILL talk broad Yorkshire

You know it. Nothing wrong with it. Just don't get why you won't admit it...

You changed you accent cos you wanted to, fact.

And here up in North Yorkshire there are so many different twangs, it can change from village to village.
My parents never lost their accent in all the years we lived in Africa but we kids all did. Within months of us moving back, years later, we were back to our original accents. :hugesmile:

Her accent is a really weird hybrid. She will talk geordie and then unexpectedly pronounce words like 'nasty' as 'nah-sty'... a little weird, sort of like Mario's mid-Atlantic accent.

We stayed near leith the other year at Malmasion ,went on Brittania which is in Leith

[Shasown]

You have to make a conscious effort to change your accent, otherwise it will always stay with you. Often its about fitting in when people move to partures new, they dont want to be seen as an outsider, so they adopt the local accent - or try to.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

yep,have to agree there.

Have you move away to a complete different area of the country?

[Zippy]

She sounds the same to me on LF. Not quite as strong but she has lived down south since BB5 as far as I know.

Well Michelle must've got a taste of fame, hopped it to London and thought it would be better to sound a bit posh. Cos lets face it, she was a Gerodie girl from the good old estate before.

[Tom4784]

I think some people can lose accents quicker then others, I've lived in the black country all my life but I only really developed the accent when I was about 12 quite suddenly. I think if I ever moved away I'd lose this accent pretty quick too.

Then again since she's been doing 'TV Work' she might have consciously chosen to lose it.
