Do you notice your own accent?

[Ashley.]

I didn't even know I had an accent until I moved to Devon and all of my friends picked me up on it. Whenever I name accents I just don't think of mine as one because it's just so normal to me.

[Niamh.]

Sometimes I do if I'm around people with different accents

[lewis111]

Not really cause I have a really weak scottish accent and when I'm around other people I kinda notice there accents more i suppose

[Daniel-X]

No but quiet a few people tell me I'm quiet broad

[Josy]

I never really noticed mine until I done the regional dialect vid on here

[Shaun]

I don't think I really have one I'm just told I sound a bit posh. But then for being a devon boy I don't really know anyone that sounds like the wurzels or anything.

Yeah. South Devon accents are quite bland and almost bordering on posh. I live nearer the West and I can really notice the accents here. And once you get further (Bristol etc) you really get them Josie vibes.

[LukeB]

Not really!

[LukeB]

but people think I have a strong Birmingham accent tho

[Daniel.]

Everyone who has heard me on call says I sound posh but I'm not (joy)

[Ramsay]

Even being around other people i still don't notice my own accent. i'm told i have a strong irish one though

[Ashley.]

but people think I have a strong Birmingham accent tho

Ooooh I love that accent!

[Liam-]

Not my accent particularly, but I catch myself saying certain phrases and it makes me think 'am I that Welsh?!'

[Jay.]

not really, i notice how i say different words sometimes though and i get stopped in my tracks. like sometimes i talk really laddy i guess and i notice it lmao

[armand.kay]

Everyone who has heard me on call says I sound like craig

** :hee:

[LukeB]

Ooooh I love that accent!

:smug:

[armand.kay]

I feel like my accent is very neutral I've never noticed that i have one.

[Ashley.]

something like

"i'm the only gay in the village"

:D

[Babayaro.]

I hate mine. I can't say cow properly :/

[Ninastar]

yeah I do because my accent consists of like 30 different accents. I think I sound really yorkshire cause i say the phrases and shorten things down like 'whatevs', because I'm a dick. but my numbers and letters are pronounced in an american accent and when I'm angry, i turn really posh and use big words... its so strange. but then again, im not exactly normal

[Ashley.]

Brian Belo teas?

[Babayaro.]

Midlands :laugh:

:smug:

[Visage]

Not at all and then I watch Emmerdale thinking "God, is that what I sound like?"

[lostalex]

I think the generic american accent is what i have, so i really don't have an accent, i just say words the way they are usually said... so no/ i don't have an accent.

[kirklancaster]

Midlands :laugh:



:smug:

Nothing wrong with a midland's accent. :laugh:

[kirklancaster]

My accent does not belong with my face. :laugh:

[Calderyon]

Yes, but that´s for obvious reasons.

[Kizzy]

I like my phone voice... :laugh:

[Livia]

I come from London so obviously, I don't have an accent. It's everyone else who has the accents.

[Jessica.]

I notice my accent constantly and always have. :shrug: I don't understand how anyone cannot notice theirs since I've always observed my own.

[Crimson Dynamo]

[kirklancaster]

[Josiah.]

My American accent is a mixture of a generic one and a Pittsburgh accent (Pittsburgh has its own slang for words called Pittsburghese).

[Princess]

Yeah because I don't live where I'm from anymore, I don't when I visit home though.

[LaLaLand]

Absolutely, especially since I've been in uni with people from away. The way I say "door", "floor", "four" etc is funny to them and that I say "Maaam" not Mum ha (very Welshy-ish accent).

[erinp5]

Only in times like this

That's what I get with EastEnders. :laugh:

[mrflibble]

Most of the time I don't, but sometimes I'll say something that sounds really Australian, like if I say 'how ya goin'. But Western Australian's have a more neutral accent than those over East (they'll be more like Steve Irwin). I notice it more if I'm talking to people with another accent, but most of the time it's only if someone else makes a comment that I'll be aware of it.

Also I lived in London for 9 months and my family reckoned that my accent sounded more 'English' towards the end of that, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't happen over 9 months.. I really do love English accents though so maybe I'm just prone to picking them up more quickly :P
