Do you have a strong accent?

[Ross]

I have a really strong, very deep South Wales valley accent. I didn't realise I sounded that Welsh!

People don't expect me to sound like that when I speak, I always get "Omg, you sound so different than I imagined!"

:sad:

[Sam!]

Nope don't think so, quite a common accent. From Ketterin haha.

[Lauren]

Yes, I sound horrible (IMO).

Geordie/Mackem.

[KKBL]

no i have a realy plain accent.no one in my family has a strong accent realy except for my moms family.

[Shaun]

Apparently I sound extremely posh.

[AngRemembered]

Not really strong but I can ham it up when I see young people up to no good in the street, like buying chips ect :laugh:
then I really come out with my sharp Jamaican tongue, they either run through fright or die laffin at me, either way it gets me a safer walk home:joker:

[Sophii3x]

I have a very welshy accent, but I actually like it! A few from here have heared it over msn or the phone so they know!

[Tom]

Lisa off Big Brother speaks the way I do ...

[fairymoon]

Oh it works wonders to and to get the real benefits you need to master the art of sucking your top lip after every sentance, oh and run fast if they don't :joker:

[Rory]

Well Brits say that I have a really strong American accent, but I'm not considered to have a strong accent in America.

[Nicky.]

I don't think i do..

But when I talk to people who've never heard me before there always like omg your soo scouse! -

I dont even live in Liverpool! x

[Firewire]

My accent doesn't sound that Scottish but it does. It doesn't sound as Scottish as Mikey's. But It is different when you speak I can only hear it when I record my voice. I do speak slang alot the words that I say in slay are (hoose (house), doon (down), naw (no), aye (yes), wit (what))

[Captain.Remy]

I never sound like someone from Southern France because I am used to talk different languages all day long so I didn't get to adopt the local accent.
But when I speak English I sound like French and when I speak Russian, I sound like Italian, that's weird.

[andybigbro]

Hmm i am not sure.
I dont even hear my accent unless its on video etc.

I am scottish so i might if i was in a room with completely different accents.

[Emilee]

I just have anornthern accent, but people tell me i sound really posh when i speak :rolleyes:

[Kore]

Ive got an accent like rachel (close anyway) im a fast talker. I get mistaken as a person from newcastle at times though lol!

[Killian]

In the county where I come from, we don't have a particular accent as such. It's a bit of a countryside accent, if you know what I mean. I'm also told I speak eloquently (an exaggeration I think) and I have hints of American and British (English, that is) in my voice. Probably from watching shows from those two places. That makes me sound like a couch potato though. :laugh:

[Rocko]

I don't really have one, but I love Irish accents. I don't care what you're talking if you're Irish, I'll just nod and smile :D

[Diablo]

Quite a strong glaswegian accent, but I think I am still easy to understand, there are a lot more stronger accents than mine and some glaswegians talk really fast as well, but not me. I like my accent :bouncy:

[stacey]

I'm from nottingham but other people from other places say i sound northern so i'm not sure lol :tongue:

[Fom]

I have a strong manchester accent, but thankfully I dont use the slang. My voice has edged more towards the yorkshire kind of accent now though, because I spend so much time in Oldham. I speak like...

"Im goon on t' bus na"

Its rather annoying, but all my accents are slowly dying because im taking diction classes for my acting.

[Mrluvaluva]

Nee way man. I 'ave a reet normal wun. :hugesmile:

[Spike]

I used to have a Black Country accent but I have tried to get rid of it and talk better

[_Audrey]

I don't think I do, but when I went on holiday this summer & last I got a lot of English people telling me my accent was amazing! Moreover, Scottish folk can always tell I'm from Glasgow, so I guess I must.

[Callum]

I have been told that I have an extremley posh/enlglish, although I was born in the "valleys" South Wales.

[~Kizwiz~]

Boring East Midlands none existent accent

[Indierock&roll]

i have a very stong scouse accent!!

[liam_bigbrother]

i have a cross between

Geordie/Hartlepudlian/ Posh accent. Strange i know lol. But genreally where i come from people talk quite fast and drop the "h"'s of the beggining of words so when people try to say Hartlepool it becomes " 'artlepool "

[Deirdre]

I have a really strong Galway accent. Probably cause I've never left Ireland...

[Barbie]

don't know when i hear myself i hear no accent obviously
from essex and mix with really common and with well spoken types so it must change slightly between the two groups

[Legend]

You can definatly tell I'm from Liverpool when I speak, it's pretty strong but not to the extent of say Susan from Shipwrecked where it's REALLY strong. Plus I talk really fast and people say I mumble too which doesn't make what I say any easier for people to understand.

[Bells]

I can adapt my accent really easily - it's one of my many talents. :whistle:

[GiRTh]

Not really. People know I'm from North of Watford but few people guess correctly. Many people think I'm quite posh.

Do you do it purposely or without realising?

I do it without realising but not a full accent change but a slight change. Funnily enough the three accents are all in this years BB- I have the same accent as Lisa but depending who I'm around it can end up a tiny bit like Luke's (which pisses me off :mad:) and a little bit like Stuarts as well but not as heavy as those two.

[Princess]

I don't even think I have an accent.

Note>There are many Irish accents!

[melanie]

I talk like Darnell does

[Tom4784]

My accent is very peculiar, I was born deaf and after a few operations I had to go to a pair of speech therapists who was this american man and this posh girl. I came out of that with like a posh transatlantic accent. For some strange reason people thought I was Irish when I first started Secondary school.

Now however I've adapted a more traditional black country accent although there's still some posh and american bits of lingo there. At the moment my accent is quite bizarre, A mix of black country, posh and american.

[Xander]

^^Wow, must be interesting to hear your speak. :hugesmile:

I don't have a accent, I suppose?
Apparantly I sound a bit posh when I speak.:conf:

[Nurse57]

I have a well spoken accent with traits of Leicester. It depends if you get my phone voice or not. With Leicester there are a few quirks. We crop the T's on the end of words. Swear words especially. So you have Cun and Twa, there is something on the end but it is not a full T.

Place names are an interesting one. If it ends in Y things change. So Blaby, said Blay-Bee or Groby, said Grew-Bee will come out as Blay-Bih and Grew-Bih.

We are also economical with our words. Why use a word if it is not needed? So, "Are you coming to the pub?" becomes "Coming pub?" and so on.

[Gemmer-x]

i dont think people from nottingham have an accent =[

Well you do in my opinion lol

I think I may sound a bit welshy lol I hope not tho

[MR.K!]

i have a mild scottish accent ( im not the kind of person that says 'och aye the noo' or anything... :bigsmile: ) ive just got an eastern central lowlands accent

[srawr]

Uhhh...I don't know. I have no idea what I sound like when I speak. :conf:

refreshes memory to speech class two months ago

I just remembered, I sound really really bored. I don't think I have an accent, but I have been known to talk "pidgin" and or "moke" when around my friends, for comedic and satirical effect.

No accent here (because of my upbringing). But I'm totally for it! :thumbs:

yes you do you sound irish/canadian cross :tongue:

[LovelyL]

I have a pretty common West Yorkshire accent, not my fault just a west yorks thing.
When people think yorkshire they seem to think of the south yorks type (sheffield, barnsley etc) which is very broad but west yorks is totally different. Its just so common compared to others, bit embarrasing when I go down south (although people say they like it:thumbs2:)

[Billy]

I sound normal scottish :P

[Jake!]

I have a very good cockney accent, and I'm from Wales. Moved when I was 3 months though so no surprises.

[GabrielleisLove]

Glaswegian, but it's not too strong as I live in Paisley.

[GhettoSuperstar]

I from Scotland, Edinburgh but my accent is quite weak as I used to stay at my anties in England a lot when I was younger.

[Tasha_x]

I don't think I have an accent, I'm from Essex

[monkeymadness]

i have a newcastle acent but i dunno if i sound like marcus bentley haha

[Harry!]

Rather plain but some people (School) say I have a lisp and talk posh coming from someone from Portsmouth.

[Sunny_01]

I have the same accent as Liam and Anthony from BB, so if people think that is a strong accent then yes I do, but IMO no its not strong.

[katie_x]

i dont have an accent. I love the scouse accent though mmmm

[supernoodles!]

well aparantly i have a 'geordie' accent.When i go on holiday people always refer to me as 'the geordie', or when i speak to people i don`t know on the phone or whatever they assume im from newcastle becuase of my accent.I actually live about half hour 45mins away from newcastle and its no where near a full blown geordie accent.

[bronaaaa]

I've probaly got a Nothern Ireland one :sad:

[supernoodles!]

i probably sound a bit like jen bb9 actually

[andyman]

Women sound so dam sexy! :lovedup:

[SiaSiaSia]

My accent is East-Upperclass (through years of drama, i'm not like posh or anything) mixed with a bit of a slight Swedish twang - only on a few words though.

It's actually so posh though, and goes REALLY high when I'm trying to be polite. :/. The more I get to know someone, the deeper I get :]

[SiaSiaSia]

i refused to believe i had an accent for years!


edit: crikey, i meant REALIZE not recognize :P

[Jakeh]

According to the British, I sound Australian (*vomits*) but according to the Australians, I sound posh/British.

Weird.

I don't really have a "set voice" though. It changes according to my mood and whoever I'm talking to. I haven't really heard my "real" voice in years.
