Do you notice your own accent?
 
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. 02-09-2015 03:23 PM

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

lewis111 02-09-2015 03:24 PM

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 02-09-2015 03:24 PM

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

Josy 02-09-2015 03:27 PM

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

Shaun 02-09-2015 03:27 PM

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 02-09-2015 03:41 PM

Not really!

LukeB 02-09-2015 03:41 PM

but people think I have a strong Birmingham accent tho

Daniel. 02-09-2015 03:43 PM

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

Ramsay 02-09-2015 03:57 PM

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

Liam- 02-09-2015 03:58 PM

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

Jay. 02-09-2015 03:58 PM

Babayaro. 02-09-2015 04:53 PM

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

Ninastar 02-09-2015 04:58 PM

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

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

lostalex 03-09-2015 07:52 AM

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.
